Brady has announced the launch of the ID Pal Ñ the first professional entry-level handheld label printer dedicated for electrical and voice/data communications installers.

"With this new labeller and thanks to its material expertise and chemistry, Brady offers high-performance labels," the company said in a text. It added that the labels stuck longer and stronger on almost all surfaces and that the ID Pal identification tool provided professionals with an easy-to-use solution for electrical and voice/data communications installation labelling.

Describing the new printer, it said it replaced desktop printers and manual identification solutions. "The new ID Pal labeller is designed for installation engineers, network supervisors, together with maintenance and repair professionals for identifying wires and cables, terminal blocks, control panels, patch panels, voice/data cabling, outlets, racks and so much more."

The new label printer is based on thermal transfer printing technology and offers a clear, smudge-free printout. "Brady labels, printed with the ID Pal, stick durably to most kinds of surfaces: smooth, textured, curved, in aluminium, in plastic, powder coated, etc. Labels even stick durably around wires and cables. Designed for professional use in the electrical and datacom markets, the label printer integrates 'symbology' specific to these sectors," the text said. The ID Pal boasts a "wire marker mode" (1), which the company described as a unique functionality giving the ability to read the data onto the label from all angles once applied.

"The new label printer is portable, compact and shock-resistant and ideal for onsite applications. It takes labelling to new heights, leaving office printers far behind," said Brady, a worldwide expert in industrial identification.

Established in 1914, Brady has a network of factories and warehouse facilities in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Canada and the US. The structure is supported by an extensive international network of distributors and sales outlets as well as by R&D centres.
