Networked-on-demand Bar Code Label Printer For Paint Retailer

Even after you've decided on the colour to buy, inevitably you need to buy more paint to match that colour. Now one major hardware chain makes it easy to buy cans of paint using a barcode label printer.

With every can of paint mixed, an Ethernet-enabled printer prints a barcode label containing information about the pigment mixture used for that paint colour. To match a previous colour, a customer brings the paint can lid back to the store. The paint department scans the barcode label on the lid, and a terminal displays the paint mixture for a perfect colour match.


Reliable Performance

"The customer needed reliable performance in a warehouse environment, and the Ethernet-enabled printer was up to the task." Says the printer manufacturer's V.P. of Sales. "A built-in Ethernet port and small footprint are among several reasons this key customer chose it."

The built-in Ethernet ports and network printer software enable fast installation, increased ease-of-use, and easy maintenance. These printers ensure this hardware chain makes it easy to paint the town the same colour.
