I am looking for recommendations for a barcode printer that will work with RMS and will print outdoor (weatherproof) barcode labels. I am currently using an OKIDATA laser that is printing on vinyl sheet labels, but it is on its' deathbed and I need to replace it.
Susan, I did considerable research on this a couple of years ago and never found a printer that did a satisfactory job of printing "weatherproof" labels. I have several garden centers as POS customers and none use a printer interfaced to the POS. They all use stand-alone printers designed specifically for this application, printing on vinyl tags. They are very heavy-duty, rugged printers and are relatively expensive, but do a very good job. I do have one RMS customer who prints labels that they put on riding lawn mowers which are stored outside - I use a Cognitive Barcode Blaster using Thermal Transfer labels that have a vinyl type coating. If you would like, I can get you a part number for the labels (they are Cognitive labels).
