Hi Argus,
yes, it's generally true, but: over the years we sold several hundreds of barcode printers and we sold and still are selling thermotransfer ribbons and labels as consumables. Of course, most ribbons are in black, but there have been orders for dark brown, green, blue, orange and red ribbons in the past. Obviously, certain scanners are able to read barcodes of those colors. Starting from a couple of years ago an increasing number of stores are asking for delivery notes with barcode for each item. It's much easier to keep a correct stock this way.These notes are looking a bit funny if the note's body is printed in let's say dark green and only the barcodes are printed in black.
Kind regards,
