Printer for labels?

[413x]

Looking for a printer for labels.
I'm selling stuff on ebay often and doing returns etc.

Used to just go into the office.

What's out there? Ideally this will be cheap and need jam up like an ink jet.

Any ideas? Cheap and as reliable as possible!

Virtually any of the thermal ones are great, just watch the cost and size of the labels. We use Zebra at work, but they are not cheap! but then the labels are (16x1000 for like £45 last time we bought some)
Just make sure they print on a variety of label sizes, and not just the tape!

Alternatively, use the Avery labels on A4 sheets - they used to supply software where you said which row/column to start printing from so you print what you want and then re-use the sheet

I only need a 3 or 4 prints a week.
Looks like the the thermal. Ones would be ideal, but when you get to postage label size they get very expensive.

Considering a cheap Ink jet.

In the end I've gone for a second hand
Brother HL-L5100DN

Has 58 percent drum and 30 percent toner left
Might last me a lifetime.

Was much cheaper than those dynos too.
25 quid

Apparently 40ppm. I could probably print my years worth of printing in under a minute!

Quality isn't great on prints. Might bit old or something. Think it's an old office printer or something

They look a bit faded and 'liney'

Fine for labels

If it was installed with a "compatible" drum it might have been a re-chipped recycled unit which was already beyond end of life but put back into service. Work kept buying compatibles from their stationery supplier and the print quality was terrible (printer where toner and drum were the same unit), problem disappeared when new OEM units were installed.

I guess it's something along those lines.

Yeah it wouldn't be up to the job if printing formal documents let's say

Ill use what it's got until the the barcodes are illegible.
It's main job is labels. Already saved me 10 pounds.
