Actually I would recommend a LJ-II or LJ-III type machine (or maybe even a
LJ-4?) for use in a heavy industrial situation. These older units can take
abuse. I've seen them in pretty bad condition but still printing... I've
also seen the newer 4000s in a very dirty steel fabrication facility working
well.
The point about label size and wastage is a good one though. The Zerba type
machines usually use narrow stock and print just what is needed for the
label(s) from if I remember right, a roll of label material. If an
application's label design uses around a full sheet then this issue goes away.
