Product Description
Brady Industrial Label Printing Solutions
The Brady BMP21 Portable Label Printer prints via thermal transfer at 203 dots per inch (dpi) on a variety of materials, and uses easy-to-load cartridges and automatic label formatting. With a simple ABC keyboard, the Brady BMP21 prints in character sizes up to 3/4" wide and up to 1.5" long. For use in identifying a variety of items, from cables to equipment, this label printer prints single- or multi-line, in six character sizes: 6, 9, 14, 20, 28 and 40 point, including bold, auto sizing, and bold auto sizing styles. Use the BMP21 to create self-laminating labels, wire marker sleeves, nylon cloth, and continuous tape labels with 203 dpi for clear, crisp printing. The thermal transfer printing method stays bright and lasts longer than direct thermal printing.
The BMP21 has 80 unique symbols (13 for voice/data communications technology), and code 39 or code 128 barcodes. The backlit LCD is easy-to-read and measures 2" by 1" (50.8 mm x 25.4 mm). Press print once for multi-print or serial, and labeler has a cutter button on each side for right- or left-hand use. Quick-loading cartridge makes switching jobs faster than other label printers; the label printer automatically senses the cartridge label type and size. Label retention keeps the label secure in the printer until label is needed. Labeler can hold a continuous roll up to 21" long. The memory feature stores the last-used setup. The label printer is 1.66 pounds and runs on (6) AA-batteries (not included) or optional AC power (power cord not included), and automatically shuts off after 10 minutes of nonuse. On battery power, it will print approximately 1,512 labels that are 2"(50.8 mm ) long. Built-in bumpers help protect corners from harsh field conditions. The printer and its printing materials are Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant for reducing the amount of hazardous materials used in producing electronic and electrical equipment.
Label printers, also called label makers or labelers, are a type of computer printer that print on rolled stock or fanfold stock. Label printers are used for many purposes, including asset management, price marking, packaging labels, laboratory specimen marking, and naming file folders. Label printers use a variety of printing technologies, such as laser, thermal transfer and direct thermal mechanisms. Some label printers may interface with a computer to create special types of labels, such as barcodes, while other label printers can create special content using the printer’s own operating system.

Brady BMP21 Label Printer Reviews
| 30 of 30 people found the following review helpful  Best option for wire wrap labels, By kolyur (Northeast Ohio) - See all my reviews This review is from: Brady BMP21 Label Printer (Misc.) My primary use for a label printer is to mark wires in industrial electrical cabinets. I need the type of label where the text is printed repeatedly perpendicular to the label direction, then wrapped around the wire. (NOT the "flag" type where the label is just folded in half over the wire.) This type of application requires the nylon cloth tape, which is available for most brands of label makers.I had previously used a Brady IDpal, which had some advantages but was not very reliable. After comparing and reading reviews for the Rhino 5200 and Brother P-touch units, I decided to purchase the Rhino 5200. In short, I was disappointed in the wire wrap capability of the Rhino and ended up returning it. The literature claimed that it would print labels for wires as small as 22awg (which I often use), but I came to find out that the shortest wire wrap label it will print is 1-1/4" long. Why on earth would you need 1-1/4" of label to wrap around a wire only 1/16" in diameter? For...

Have had the BMP21 for a year and a half now, and used it on several projects. I use the nylon cloth labels for wire labeling, DIN terminal blocks, and larger labels on equipment front panels. The label backing is limp, and the mastic aggressive, so that the wire labels stay wrapped on, so far without problems. The printer will do heat shrink sleeves, but I haven't felt the need for such permanence. I find that it works just fine on alkaline AA batteries, and doesn't drain them when not in use, as one reviewer stated. Maybe his is defective or is using rechargeable cells, which discharge eventually whether used or not.One problem has irritated me though. When printing numbers for 5mm wide DIN terminal blocks, it will print serialized numbers, for instance, 10 labels 1-10 starting with 1, with one press of the start button without stopping, and the numbers get spaced on 5mm pitch. If asked to print 10 of the same number (serialize OFF) for terminals joined by a shorting...

Nice labeler, many different label types to use for different enviroments. I use this to label Infant bottles and then subject them to the microwave for sanitation and the labels stay on for a long time. I also use this in industry as an OEM to label wires and cables and they hold up very well. As I said there are several different types of label material, be certain to choose the correct material for your application. |
