Inkvanta vs Traditional Label Printers: Which One Saves You More Time & Money?

When it comes to labeling, most businesses default to the same old tools—bulky thermal printers, stacks of label rolls, and cables cluttering the workspace.

But there’s a new player on the scene: the Inkvanta Printer Gun. It’s compact, cordless, and prints directly onto nearly any surface.

So how does it compare to traditional label printers? Let’s break it down.


The Labeling Showdown: Handheld vs Traditional

Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the Inkvanta Printer Gun vs. a typical desktop label printer:

Cost Savings Over Time

Let’s talk real numbers.

💸 Traditional Label Printer Costs (per month):

  • Label Rolls: ~$40–$100

  • Ink/Cartridge Refills: ~$30–$60

  • Maintenance/Replacements: ~$10–$20

  • Total: $80–$180/month

✅ Inkvanta Printer Gun Costs (per month):

  • Refillable Ink: ~$15–$30 (only when needed)

  • No label rolls or extra hardware required

Over a year, that's $600–$1,800 in savings.


Productivity Gains That Matter

Beyond cost, Inkvanta gives your team mobility and speed:

  • Print directly at the point of labeling (no walking back to the printer)

  • Instantly switch between projects or surfaces

  • Customize on the fly—no template restrictions

Every second saved adds up. For fast-paced teams, it’s a game-changer.


Who Should Still Use a Traditional Label Printer?

To be fair, traditional label printers might still make sense if:

  • You print hundreds of identical small labels daily

  • You operate in a static, desktop-only workspace

  • You’re heavily reliant on thermal label rolls

But for anyone who needs flexibility, portability, or custom surface printing, the Inkvanta Printer Gun is the smarter, more scalable choice.
