Computype is expert in more variable printing technologies than perhaps any other label supplier.  From digital color, to thermal transfer, to ink jet, to flexography we have skills in almost every technology capable of producing barcode labels.  If you’d like to see our capabilities for yourself, give us a call to schedule a plant tour. We’d be happy to show you around!

• Digital Color - A very cost-effective technology and yet image quality is excellent and color capabilities are endless. Digital imaging does away with the need for print plates and artwork can be submitted via any graphics file format.
• Flexographic - A cost effective label printing technology for multiple copies of the same image, incorporating fast-drying inks and printing plates for imaging on a wide variety of label stocks.
• Thermal Transfer - The ribbon and labels feed from separate rolls and are squeezed together by a roller as they pass under the thermal printhead . The heating elements in the printhead melt the coating which transfers to the label to form the image.
• Ink Jet - The core of an inkjet printer, the print head, contains a series of nozzles that are used to spray drops of ink, most likely using four colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black that can recreate almost any shade the user wants.
