Exceptional Design Flexibility
BarTender gives you total control over your label's appearance, including the type and size of text, bar codes and graphics. Place objects exactly where you want them and control rotation as precisely as 1 degree. You're limited only by your imagination.
Latest Windows Technology
Strict adherence to Microsoft's official user-interface guidelines, means if you've used just one other Windows program you're ready to start designing labels.
High Precision On-Screen Display
BarTender's design mode gives you an extraordinarily accurate ""real-time"" view of your label. There is also a Print Preview mode that even reads your external data sources, so it can display exactly how your labels are going to look before you print them. That means you can design more quickly without wasting labels.
Designer Typefaces, Even on Thermal Printers
BarTender and Seagull's printer drivers offer an extraordinary variety of font capabilities. Use printer fonts for maximum speed and Windows fonts for the most flexible styling. Many printer drivers now even support font downloading for an optimum combination of font variety and printing performance.
""Instant"" Bar Codes
BarTender's toolbox gives you instant access to an extensive set of predefined bar code components. ""Drag and drop"" bar codes into your label designs using a single, quick mouse motion. Use our predefined components ""as is"" or customize as desired.
Rich Text with Data Sourcing
""Rich Text"" allows individual text objects to contain multiple typefaces (Times, Arial, etc.) and styles (bold, italic, etc.). BarTender raises the power of rich text to a whole new level by allowing you to source the different parts of a rich text object with external data fields.
