How can the Brady Specimen Labeling Solution meet my needs better than a direct marking system or cassette printer?
The Brady solution is the most flexible, economical printing system on the market, and it requires minimal training to use. Direct marking systems (e.g. laser, laser ablading, inkjet or thermal cassette printers) are typically used for higher volume applications because they print in batch mode. These cassette labelers print directly on the cassette and typically cost more than five times the price of the Brady solution. (The cost of a direct marking system averages $15,000-$35,000).

Direct marking systems require much more operator training; in some cases, they may even require safety precautions, particularly when the system uses lasers. The repair and maintenance of these cassette labelers is also much more intensive. Additionally, cassettes identified by direct marking systems or cassette printers may not be resistant to all chemicals used in the process. Not all cassette labelers can print
