Disadvantages of Sato CL408e vs. Brady MVP Series

•The MVP offers BradyConnect remote connectivity and control solution (standard).. A feature currently not available on Sato printers.

•No auto-calibration on CL408e - instead dip switches are factory set at 1/8” between labels.

•LCD standard on CL408e but only enables you to receive error messages, on- line/off-line ready signal and darkness settings

– all other configurations are dip switch controlled.

•Made in Japan (i.e. sourcing of parts and technical expertise may take longer and be more difficult to obtain).
