Great Laser Label Printing

admin — Mon, 14 May 2012 15:54:37 +0000

To get the best print from your laser printer when printing labels, try using the “Labels” setting. You will find it under “properties” on that page that comes up just before you print. It will be under “paper type” or “media type”. Printers are usually set to 80gsm paper as a default, labels are much thicker and need more energy to bond the toner to the surface. The “Labels” setting slows down the print speed and adjusts the heat setting of the fuser unit.

There is one size of label that can be used in over 85% of hand fed franking machines, the size is 151 x 40mm and there are two on a little sheet with a gap between them. There is no border on the labels so they can be slid right into the franking machine.

The material used for the franking labels is 100% compatible with the machines and samples can be supplied if requested. These labels are very cost efficient and come in packs of 1,000 labels for well under £20.00 including postage and vat.

Franking machine labels are a specialised product and not really any use for anything but creating franking marks for royal mail letters and parcels. The labels are used when the item to be posted is too big or too thick to put through the franking machine.
