DuraLabel 4000 User Guide

Interesting finds in the DuraLabel 4000 user guide

In the DuraLabel 4000 user guide, which is available publicly online, there are a few telling items. First, there are 6 pages dedicated to the proper loading of the printer! That's a lot of reading for something that is supposed to be "easy." Second, the user guide for the DuraLabel 4000 includes recommendations for using Microsoft Word for labeling.

Microsoft Word: a red flag for professional labeling

Most professional labeling systems ship with professional, custom labeling software. Microsoft Word was never intended for industrial labeling- it's a word processor! There is no reason to write a business memo and create a vinyl label in the same piece of software.

One reason the DuraLabel 4000 might recommend using Microsoft Word right in the user guide is to cut costs. In the end, since the cost of the DuraLabel 4000 and its supplies is not lower than the competitors industrial-class printers, only corners are being cut, and not costs.

Information on the DuraLabel 4000

DuraLabel 4000 Released

The makers of the DuraLabel have recently added a new printer to their line: the DuraLabel 4000. Touted as an entry-level printer, the DuraLabel 4000 brings to the table a lower price than the full-performance DuraLabel printers, and lower supply prices. At least, that's what it appears to offer at first glance. This article digs just a little deeper to give you the story on the DuraLabel 4000.

DuraLabel 4000 Hardware

The DuraLabel 4000 is a 203dpi printer, lower than the industry standard for high-resolution printing, but still acceptable. It has print speeds up to 3" per second, which is fast, but lower than the 5-7" industry standard by quite a bit. The base model does not come with an automatic cutter.

Best described, the DuraLabel 4000 might be considered "inconvenient." Another inconvenience with the DuraLabel 4000 is the micro-ribbon core and light-duty construction.

DuraLabel 4000 Supplies

Possibly the biggest downfall of the DuraLabel 4000 is the supplies. While it may appear that you're saving money, it is important to note that for the price you are getting less than half of the industry standard in supplies! When you calculate the price-per-foot for labeling material, you're really not saving anything at all.

Another problem with having supply rolls that are smaller is more frequent supply loading. Users will run out quicker, and will constantly be re-loading the printer to keep up with production.
