Printing labels for Amazon on thermal printers
Hi
Can any one advise me on what printer to buy for printing FBA barcode labels and FBA shipping box labels.
I am looking for something not too expensive but also something that is very easy and simple to use,
till now I have been using a regular inkjet printer and been feeding sheets of labels.
I would like something that connects to my P.C and all I have to do is print directly from the download that I get when I press on the “print” button on seller central.
Many thanks and waiting for some good advice

If you have a RM account, you get a discount on the Zebra GK420D. Which is worth every penny.
But if you just want a thermal printer, then pretty much anyone will do. They all connect to the PC, though obviously the cheaper you go, the less reliable etc they are.

I use a standard ink jet and it prints directly from the print button on SC ?!

For shipping labels, I highly recommend Zebra thermal printers. I bought a ZD420 3 years ago…she works like a dream. Super fast and not once had a problem. There’s lots of smaller and more expensive models. Make sure you get a 4 inch. Get the ink rolls from Feedmyzebra. And free shipping labels 4x6 inch from Royal Mail.
For barcodes, you can use a normal ink jet. Brother black ink only is a good investment.
Both are connected through wifi.

It really depends on how much printing you intend to do. I use 2 types of printers, one is a zebra GK420D thermal printer and these are for box labels, FBA labels and shipping labels. Got it for free when I signed up with a courier and they also supply the consumables for it for free.
For the barcodes that you are sticking the fnsku labels on, I use a xerox high yield black and white mono printer and 24 to a sheet labels. The xerox printer can be picked up on a well known auction site and although up front costs can be high, in the long run you will saves hundreds or thousands of pounds. Always check for common high yield toners and then try to seek out the printer to suit the cartridges. The cost of my printing and consumables is peanuts.
Both printers are easy to use and you basically download labels in PDF format and print them to your chosen printer.
