    While most current in support label printers will work with Bartender, we recommend Zebra printers for use in the Bartender Automation Service.  Zebra printers are reliable, have a wide array of media support, and work with media for extreme cold storage needs. Cancer IT can help in identifying a printer model that will fit your need.
