Thermal Label Printer (stamps.com compatible)

[mercurial333]

What model should I look into? I'm looking for a label printer.

Also where would I get the adhesive labels, and how much would they go for usually?

How about Express Mail international ( usually has two customs forms on the A4 sheet ).

Lastly, I need it to work with stamps.com software.

Brother series work well - others use Zebra line too

The Brother QL-500 works perfect. Just make sure you are getting original rolls of thermal paper, as the generic ones tend to be problematic.

I love my Zebra 2844. Works like a champ.

Have some smaller inventory that goes into envelopes

I use regular printer + tape for my big boxes.

Open a fedex account, ship with fedex and they give you a free printer, scale, labels, etc...
Sames goes for UPS.

Surely opening an account with them is not free, or ?

They give me huge discounts as much as 37.5% but if you don't ship with them, I am sure they are not going to give you anything lol

^ Yeah let's skip that.

How many shipments are needed before FedEx gives free equipment? I called them last month and they said no go on the Zebra. I've had an account with them for several years but had not shipped much with them until recently (3 shipments in the past 10 days). Their pricing is MUCH better than USPS and UPS on some shipments (bigger/heavier boxes) so I always check their pricing before purchasing postage.

Maybe 60 or more shipments a month, but not sure.
