RJS/ Printronix high speed on-line verification on the manufacturing floor

By Dana Ritchie | February 21, 2008

By Dana Ritchie | February 18, 2008

During the past 3 years, I have been asked if we provided a solution for ECL (Expanded Content Labels).  At first I was not sure what people were talking about, but the more I was asked, the more I needed to find out what this was all about.  ECL is used where a one dimensional…

Pressure Sensitive Green Labels Is The Word

By Dana Ritchie | January 29, 2008

Recently I have had several customers ask about “Green Labels”.  At first I was not sure of what they were talking about.  After some research and talking with my suppliers, there is in fact a small buzz out in the market place for labels to become more green.  This is what I have found, we are…
