indyspirits Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Does anyone here user printers from Primera (or any other vendor for that matter) when printing short runs? We've started to do single-barrel programs with local chains who invariably request special labels. Short 300 label runs are cost prohibitive from our current vendor Blue Label (with whom we're very happy). Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Rock Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 We have an Epson TM C-3500 and use blank labels from several sources. Choose the Epson because it has individual color ink tanks. Costs averaging about .20 per label excluding hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How durable are the labels in terms of color fastness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Rock Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 You can get die cut labels on rolls any size and 5 kinds of substrate from 1" x 1" to 4" x 8". Color fastness (fading) seems very good, abrasion is good, convenience is best! The poly based labels are very nice. These companies will send you samples.
