Scan-one print-one technology for instances when you need just one more label
Our DIN replicator systems are modified to perform one task, and one task only—replicate individual labels. We work with your existing barcoding system to ensure your replicator duplicates your labels, and only your labels. It’s programmed to print only the size, symbology and character count associated with your processes to reduce opportunity for error.
Computype DIN labels are also made utilising familiar and trustworthy printers from our partners as base models. This brings a familiar user experience and level of quality to your facility, so you can spend less time training employees and more time preparing donations.
To ensure a familiar and intuitive user-experience we utilise label printers from our existing product line as a base for our replicator systems—specifically Zebra’s ZD series. These printers are trusted in the blood industry to provide durable, scannable barcodes and efficiency when printing DIN labels in-house.
If your facility would prefer a different label printer or has more specialised needs, we can work with you to customise any other printer in our product line to perform replication.

All of the base printers we utilise for our DIN replicators are compact desktop models designed to fit right in the workspace and transport easily if necessary.
Additionally, all the parts you need are integrated into the final design including a scanner and optional keyboard module.
The interface will vary from base model to base model, however, the ZD series is known for its user-friendliness. Whether you choose the minimalistic 3 button interface of the ZD 220 or the colourful LCD screen of the ZD 620, you can expect an intuitive interaction.
Our replicators are programed to recognise and duplicate ONLY your internal barcodes to prevent the wrong labels from being replicated.
By ensuring the accuracy of your labelling you can ensure the safety of your donations.
Whether a label has become unusable or your DIN set was just one label short for this particular use-case, using a replicator lets you replicate labels from your DIN sets individually, so you can get the exact amount of labels you need, exactly when you need them.
Not only are the replicators themselves reasonable in price, but adding a replicator to your processes can help you save on DIN sets and add flexibility to your process.
By introducing a replicator to your process you may be able to trim some rarely used labels off of your DIN sets by opting to print extra’s only as needed.
Efficiency without sacrificing accuracy is extremely important in the blood banking industry. Donations need to find their way to patients quickly, efficiently and most importantly accurately.
DIN replicators allow you to ensure no samples go to waste due to lack of identity when you can simply scan an existing DIN label and print a duplicate. Replicators are programmed to recognise only your internal symbology for error reduction to promote both efficiency and safety
Further ensure efficiency, accuracy and cost effectiveness when you purchase your DIN sets from Computype.
Our custom solutions work with your internal processes. Our verification system ensures accuracy, and as the only blood label supplier who also manufactures our own adhesive, we can help you ensure accuracy, efficiency and budget goals are met.
For a very basic replicator system that includes a printer, scanner and customised scan menu we estimate that the cost would start around $1,500 for an average application. However, cost is difficult to accurately estimate since most DIN replicator systems are customised in some way to best suit your needs.
All of our replicators are customised to meet the specific needs of your facility, and things like the base model you choose, DPI requirements and any additional custom features will affect the cost.
Our standard base models are from the ZD desktop series. The three models which make up this series range in features and price, from the ZD 220 value model to the ZD 620 premium model. Upgrades within the series, such as the ability to withstand healthcare sanitisation processes, can also impact the price of your base model.
Printers from our other partners can also be converted to replicators if preferences or more customised needs exist—this will also impact the overall cost.
Just like most printers, an increase in DPI will lead to an increase in overall cost. That increase comes from the specialised equipment necessary to allow a printer to provide such a high resolution image, and the fact that high DPI doesn’t offer value to everyone.
High image resolution is rarely required in the blood industry. Only extremely small barcode labels that would be used on very small vials or caps might require 600 DPI.
Any additional customisations beyond your choice in base model and DPI will impact your overall cost—and as we mentioned all of our replicators are tailored to meet the specific needs of our customers.
We recommend you ensure you are only choosing customisations that are necessary and valuable to your processes. This way you can avoid spending on unnecessary features and ensure you’ll find value in those you did choose, and don’t worry if you’re unsure of what is and isn’t necessary we are here to help!
As a solutions provider we offer guaranteed maintenance, service and technical support for the extent of your agreed upon contract in addition to any manufacturer warrantees. We do this so you can make the most of your investment by ensuring the wellness of your printer beyond the time periods specified by warrantees and reseller agreements.
In addition to extended service contracts, we guarantee your printer will arrive in working order, as every printer we ship is taken out of the box, plugged in and tested prior to leaving our building.
We believe it is part of our job to help you keep things running smoothly by providing trustworthy solutions to your barcode printing and labelling needs. When you purchase a printer from a solutions provider like Computype, you are investing in not only that printer, but its wellness and all the benefits that come along with it.
