Full-Colour Support
BarTender software Professional Edition comes with full-colour support allowing users to design commercial quality labels with PANTONE and data-sources colours. This advanced feature helps organisations stand out from the competition and adds a professional look and feel to their barcode labels.

Data entry forms provide users with 15 highly configurable form controls, such as text boxes, drop-down menus, and checkboxes, allowing them to design dynamic forms. Data entry forms come with built-in data validation and error-checking capabilities that help reduce user input errors.
In addition, data entry forms support keyboards & mouse, barcode scanners, and weighing scales as input devices for data entry at the time of printing. This feature is especially useful for businesses that require automated and accurate data entry to meet industry regulations and standards.
