[QUOTE="KuyaRomeo, post: 1372749, member: 239095"] Cshcag I kinda figured that the printer UPS sent was proprietary . . although when I (in advance) told them my plans to use it for product/ingredient labels, they did not object. Simply told me that it COULD be done, but they could not support THAT nor give me instructions for how to do it. The reason that we wanted to use a Thermal printer rather than a Laser printer was for cost over time. Thermal printers use heat, not ink and therefore you do not need to keep replacing the ink (as we will be printing ingredient labels by the thousands each month). Certainly we could order pre-printed stickers but you need to order huge amounts to get a decent price, and when we consider that we have 30 some flavors . . the cost of pre-printed labels gets a bit insane. The other reason for wanting to use a Thermal printer is because they use "roll labels" and not form labels such as the Avery ones. Roll labels can be much cheaper to purchase than the form ones. Other than that, I agree that Laser printers could do the job just as well. Perhaps I need to refocus my time in finding cheaper solutions in bulk form labels, and a laser jet printer. Any recommendations on the model? [/QUOTE]
