Hi,

I'm looking for something that prints thermal labels. A Zebra or alternative brand would be fine.

Who stocks these in ZA and who are the guys to speak to in CPT?

I don't mind buying 2nd hand either - any ideas? It's to be used with an asset tracking system..

Thanks,
J
 
Hi, we have a zebra gx420t label printer. I must say it is every cent it costs worth. We had it for 3 years now, and printed hundreds of thousands labels without hassles. I recently spoke to our label supplier about buying a second machine, and she mentioned another make, because as she said, zebra is very good, but replacement parts are expensive. I will email her to find out what the make it was, I forgot.

But I would say try locating a thermal label supplier if you dont have one now, and ask them where they would buy it. Sometimes you can buy through them at their supplier.

And also, shop around for label prices. You would be amazed on how some suppliers can rip you off.
 
Almost forgot, you're looking at approw R 4500 for an entry level printer like ours.

Any suggestions on label manufacturers who don't rip you off, I am looking for an alternative.
 
I dont know of any in you area, I only know of suppliers in limpopo, we recently moved to agri labels.
 
Posequip also sells these new import seawoo label printers. We have one in the office for testing. It does both thermal and ink in one package. I'm not sure about the price but know that Posequip work on more or less the same basis as Esquire.
These seawoo printers are pretty cheap. And they work with multiple different sized label including side by side. Which is nice.

Also, I hate zebra printers. I've had the worst experience with them. And having to test them daily does not help at all.
 
Zebras are good printers. We have clients who have used them for 4 years now, without skipping a beat. Let me know if you are sorted I can get you one. PM details

Yep. I have the grey hair to prove that fact.

What I don't know is where to buy the suckers, whilst not getting ripped off.

Hence the Q!
