Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For those who regularly ship through the USPS or even UPS, this little machine will save you time and money. It holds large rolls of labels and requires NO ink. There are no ink refill costs. With very few moving parts, there are less opportunities for malfunction or breakage. Used and refurbished units are generally a safe buy. I've been using a refurbished machine for 2 years and have printed thousands and thousands of labels with NO issues. I would suggest that one conduct thorough research as prices for these machines can vary greatly - especially for not-new machines. I would also suggest that users consider investing in better quality labels for shipping use. Cheaper labels seem to print less darkly than those that are higher quality. Lastly, extended exposure to intense sunlight or heat and the gum of most tape will darken thermal labels. To keep from losing your printed information (and addresses) refrain from taping over the labels and avoid extended exposure to intense sunlight and heat.
As far as specifics go, I use the Zebra LP 2844 thermal printer with a desktop PC and Endicia postage software.

Closeout deal on Zebra LP 2844s. The Zebra LP2844 is the ideal label printer for shipping labels.Since thermal printers "burn" images no more money spent on ink cartridges. The LP2844 prints 4 inches per second, USB, parallel or serial port.These overstock Zebra 2844 printers all come from a cancelled contract and have minimal use. They needed to closeout these thermal printers so we are offering them at clearance savings. Great deal if you don't mind very minor scuffs, these are all repackaged and fully tested functioning as new.

UPS and other shippers will provide free labels for this printer. If you ship via UPS, FedEx or USPS this is a great investment.Regular retail price is $575.
