RFID printers can be a huge boon if you need to print multiple RFID tags for your inventory. While there are larger RFID printers available, though, you can also get smaller, desktop RFID printers for smaller operations. These desktop RFID printers are designed to be small, lightweight, but still full of the features you need in order to integrate and manage your RFID tags.

How Desktop RFID Printers Work

Desktop RFID printers work similar to other RFID printers. They’re designed for areas where space is at a premium, and offer simple printing and encoding for RFID tags. Like larger RFID printers, they communicate with the RFID tag and encode its information to it. Think of it a bit like a normal printer. The printer transfer ink to a page to create a unique image. Similarly, the RFID printer transfers unique information to the tag, and then checks the tag in order to make sure it was printed correctly.

Desktop RFID printers can support both direct thermal and thermal transferring printing. It can also be compatible with inlays from leading suppliers.
