I recommend: Focus on speed with the Datamax I-4212 printer, the fastest printer in the Datamax I-series, from Barcode Discount. Barcode Megastore sells the Datamax I-4308 printer, which is particularly suited to printing very small, high-resolution labels or intricate two-dimensional barcodes.

Save money on budget models of Datamax thermal demand printers

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• •  Many retailers sell durable items such as printers at close to their cost, counting on your return business for goods that need replenishing such ink and toner. Instead of purchasing ink and toner from your Datamax thermal demand printers provider, try purchasing refill kits or having your ink and toner professionally refilled at a business that specializes in offering cartridge refills.
