Selecting the appropriate printing method for labeling machines depends on various factors, including label content uniformity and operational efficiency. Real-time printing suits dynamic content, while cache printing excels for static information. Let's delve into the considerations for each method.


Real-time Printing:

  • Ideal for labels with varying content for each print.

  • Requires real-time transmission of printing data.

  • Options include automatic system-generated data or real-time input from scanners/visual inspection devices.


Cache Printing:

  • Suitable for batch printing of labels with identical content.

  • Involves pre-editing content using provided software.

  • Allows for setting print quantities and automatic printing, ensuring consistent content across the batch.


By understanding the differences between real-time and cache printing, you can make an informed decision when selecting a labeling machine for your specific requirements.
