Authorised reseller and service providerIndustrial, desktop, mobile and print engine models. We size the printer to your job, match the label to your surface, and service it across Canada.
Find your printer
Two questions. Tell us where the label gets printed and how wide your widest label is, and we narrow 18 SATO printers to the ones that fit.
Browse all 18 models in the lineup below.
Where does it print?
How wide is your widest label?
Drag the label edge to your widest label, or use the arrow keys. The blue band is the width you have to spare.
Printer classes are nominal widths. We confirm the exact print width for your label with your quote.
The lineup
Each quote includes the label stock, the ribbon and the service plan that fit the printer, so you see what it costs to run, not just to buy.
