Brady Worldwide is introducing its latest printer for making industrial labels, the Brady PMP71 Label Printer. Made for industrial labels 1/4" to 2" in width, the PMB71 is capable of printing small die-cut labels for wire marking, cable marking, inventory management and more. The PMB71 also prints pipe markers, OSHA safety labels, office labels on standard vinyl tapes. What Brady has done is provided a new, portable printer intended for narrow application needs, such as the applications just listed. With the Brady PMB71, users will notice it's somewhat of a cross between a HandiMark and a TLS2200, two Brady hand held label printers with which many are already familiar.

Here are a few of the features provided by the Brady PMB71 Label Printer:

Color display
Easy-to-use label design software
Print speed up to 1.5 inches/sec
Compatibility with over 30 different supplies
QWERTY-style keypad

While the new Brady printer is something new worth mentioning, so too are DuraLabel's growing line of industrial label printers. DuraLabel printers are increasingly popular because of their ability to combine features, functions, quality and capabilities of numerous label printers--not just a couple. So while you check out the new Brady PMB71 Label Printer, you MUST check out all DuraLabel label printers.

What sticks to pipes to identify contents, indicate direction of flow and is prevalent in industrial environments? Pipe markers.

What sticks to pipes to identify contents, indicate direction of flow and should be prevalent in industrial environments? Reflective pipe markers!

Why chose reflective pipe markers over regular pipe markers? In case of emergencies, power outages or low light conditions, highly reflective properties of Reflective Pipe Markers make them easily seen from a distance. When pipes' contents need to be quickly identified and pipes need to be shut down, light from a flashlight or other light sources noticeably reflect off the pipe markers' vinyl top coat, which is filled with tiny reflective particles.

Reflective Pipe Markers comply with ANSI/ASME A13.1-2007 standards for piping systems. They also meet or exceed applicable American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards for reflectivity (ASTM D4956-99).

Reflective Pipe Markers are compatible with the following label and sign printers: the DuraLabel PRO 300, the DuraLabel 2000, the DuraLabel 7000 and the DuraLabel 9000.

Check out the official press release on Reflective Pipe Markers.

To learn more about Reflective Pipe Markers and to place an order, call Graphic Products at 1-888-326-9244.

"Now that is way easier!"

That's what I said the first time I designed a two-inch label using a DuraLabel 2000 immediately after I designed the same exact two-inch label using a Brady HandiMark. But what's the difference?

With the DuraLabel 2000, a new handheld label printer, there is one feature (among many) that makes it stand out from other handheld label printers: the auto-size feature for text and images.

The auto-size feature on the DuraLabel 2000 exists to simplify and quicken the label designing process. Auto-size automatically adjusts the size of the text and images to fill the entire label area (whether the label consists of one line or many lines). With auto-size enabled on the DuraLabel 2000, the need to manually input the size for each line on a label is eliminated, allowing the user to by-pass an exhaustive and unnecessary ‘guess-and-check’ sizing process often required when designing labels with other printers such as the HandiMark. No matter what size of supply is used, the DuraLabel 2000 recognizes the supply size once it's loaded and automatically auto-sizes inputted text and images so you don't have to.

With the DuraLabel 2000, simply type in the label's message and then hit "PRINT." It's simple, and the label design process is much faster. The result is a nice, bold, readable label!

Introducing the DL2000 handheld label printer. This small, take anywhere label printer allows you to go to places your other printers never could. Whether your facility is large or small you will find many uses for this little dynamo. Use it to label your files, warehouse racks, chemical pipes, water pipes, electrical cables, electrical conduit, vents, doors, workstations and possibly your workers.

The DuraLabel 2000 uses many different colors of vinyl tape up to 2 inches wide. That’s huge! You can create signage that can be seen over 20 feet away. This provides a safe environment for your employees. This powerful handheld labeler can also use tape as small as ½” which can be used on things like transmitters, instruments and tools. This improves efficiency because it is easier to see where things go or what you need to do.

The practical features of this labeler should grab your attention as well:

• The full keyboard makes it easy to create labels on the spot. There is no need to waste time running back to the shop. Just carry a DuraLabel 2000 and get the job done.
• The battery lasts for around 2 hours of printing (depending on the width of the vinyl). That’s a lot of printing.
• A built-in cutter makes precise, clean cuts.
• The interface is easy to use and includes over 100 built in symbols to help clearly deliver the message.
• The handy hand strap makes the DuraLabel 2000 easy to carry.
• The outer case is impact resistant allowing the DuraLabel 2000 to go anywhere it is needed.
• The ribbon cartridge and vinyl tape are easy to install and come in many different colors, making meeting code requirements and color coding easy.

The ease of use and low cost make this labeler a must in industrial facilities, warehouses, manufacturing plants and anywhere employee safety standards need to be communicated. The first shipment just arrived and will sell out fast so call 1-800-788-5572 today.
