Overview

Not a desktop label maker, this Brady printer is a large-format industrial printer that turns out safety signs and labels in several colors from a touch screen. Built-in design apps handle pipe markers, GHS, arc flash and right-to-know labels.

Brady lets anyone on a team walk up and print safety visuals with little training, which suits lean and kaizen labeling events. It is heavy and built for facility use, and the box contents are not clearly listed.

Who it's for

Safety managers and facility teams producing wide signs, pipe markers and hazard labels on demand get an industrial tool. Offices printing address labels need a far smaller machine.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Wide signs and labels
  • Multiple print colors
  • Standalone touch screen design

Cons
  • Box contents not itemized

Performance notes

Output comes from thermal printing at the listed resolution with several colors on wide stock, which suits high-visibility signs. The touch screen design apps guide layout, so labels follow common safety formats without a PC.
