which label printer to buy

[soundsugly]

Time to bite the bullet and buy a label printer. SInce ebay are charging me on postage i guess i should be using their labels and getting the bulk discount. Royal PITA.

Anyone know of a thermal printer that can print the required 100mm x 150mm labels?

Was looking at a Brother QL 700 but they seem to only do 62mm wide, so far as i can tell.

The Zebra printers are far too expensive for my budget. Don't fancy throwing down $500+ for the privilege of using this 'service'.

As usual, any help woudl be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It will be short lived. Advertising and promoting your own listings is against forum policy. Hopefully the mods will remove them and bury to threads back to where they should be.

Funny YOU happen to be the seller of said printers....

A 200dpi thermal printer will not print a MyPost VERTICAL barcode clear enough to scan. The resolution is too low due to the narrow gaps in the Australia Post VERTICAL format.

I don't sell anything print related. They are just great and I wanted to share 🙂

I know you were not addressing me.

hi I will let ya know soon has got the ql700 here the 62mm thing is the height NOT width on it.   the width can be up to a 1m.    Is going to check something with their software if hunch is right you should be able to bring the Auspost label into the ql700 software where it will either resize it auto or you should be able to manually do it.

Hi.

Soundsugly asked the question FIVE years ago. If they haven't resolved the issue by now, there is a fair chance they never will.

just to let op know the ql700 will auto resize. And from a quick test with a bar code reader it will read the barcode.   Also tried a qr code resize and that also works fine.

As advised, this question is FIVE years old.

seriously don't do that, buy a proper label printer. .  I have the Brother QL 810W it's flawless.

Another option is to use a simple computer printer. As cheap as $30.

If you print landscape you can get 2 to an A4 sheet.
