From the creators of the very first Windows® label design software comes LabelDirect - a PC labelling program written for specific printer ranges which offers unrivalled performance and control of your printers’ features.

By driving your printer in its native command language, LabelDirect avoids the complexities of printer drivers whilst offering full control of your printer’s features and distinct performance advantages over other labelling programs. What’s more, the program also includes accurate screen representations of each printer’s fonts making LabelDirect completely and uniquely WYSIWYG.

LabelDirect offers all the features you would expect from a professional labelling package including database integration, copy fitting, variable graphics, serial numbers and industry standard linear and 2D barcode symbologies; plus many other unique features developed in response to Image’s 25+ years of experience in the labelling industry.
