Color-coding you can rely on.

It's well known that efficiency in a facility is improved through proper color-coding. Colors are used to identify equipment, tools, hazards and procedures. Select colors are even standardized by OSHA and ANSI to add greater value and improve worker recognition rates.

The goal is to increase label and sign recognition times. When color standards are applied to all labels and signs, a facility becomes increasingly efficient. That's why colors must remain as sharp and brilliant as the day they were printed and do so for extended periods- even in the outdoors.

Unfortunately, most label and sign manufacturers print colors with inferior devices. The result is a label or sign with only a very limited life. Although these labels may be less expensive, they actually wind-up costing more in replacement costs.

DuraLabel believes colored labels should provide lasting service indoors as well as outdoors. That's because they understand the value lasting colors have in the industrial workplace.

To prove just how durable their colors are, DuraLabel performed a comparison test on four commonly used primary colors. The test focused on colors printed with a DuraLabel Printer and those printed by a leading competitor.

Using state-of-the-art testing equipment, researchers at DuraLabel documented some fairly dramatic differences. As the image above reveals, the red coloring printed by the competitor is absent after just two years of simulated exposure. All of the colors printed by DuraLabel still offer functional performance with little degradation.

These differences show how important it is to use an industrial label printer that's capable of providing this level of performance. The cost of using inferior labels and signs in the industrial workplace is often greater in less efficiency and replacement cost.
