I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF PRINTERS!!
Hello all,
For years I was using a cheap £40 HP printer to print my amazon FNSKU barcode labels. It largely worked but did have issues and so I thought I'd upgrade.
I print on A4 paper which has 21 barcode labels per sheet.
I then bought a Brother printer which was useless, and since then I have bought an Epson EcoTank which is even more useless! I'm so tired of these printers. The Epson was recommended as a good printer of labels but yet it jams so frequently.
Thermal printers are not an option for me for a number of reasons I won't get into.
I was just wondering and praying really that someone could recommend me a decent regular printer for this?
Thank you :)

Go for a cheap laser printer in my experience they are much more reliable than a cheap ink printers.
When I did FBA I used the Brother HL-1112 printer and printed 1000's of FNSKU labels. I still use it now for packing notes, I have printed tens of thousand pages on it with no problems.
Don't buy the manufacturer replacement toners for laser printers as they are far too expensive. Buy a reliable unofficial replacement, they are much cheaper and the quality/length of service is around the same.

agree, i bought a xerox phaser 6510 laser printer with toner instead of ink, think ive replaced the toner once in 4 years, prints about 10,000 pages for £30, set of toners non-branded is about that price, its cold war manufacturing HEAVY by the way but i use it every day for manifests and labels, cost about £200-250 and use vs cost its the best thing in the office

Hi @Seller_9idPMYuN5lTTl
For printing FNSKU barcode labels, I can make some specific recommendations based on what many of our successful UK sellers are using:
The Canon PIXMA TS8350 has proven to be quite reliable for label printing, with good paper handling capabilities and precise alignment - crucial for barcode printing. Many of our sellers report minimal jamming issues with this model.
Another solid option is the HP OfficeJet Pro 9015. While pricier than your previous £40 printer, it's specifically designed for small business use and handles multiple paper types well. The paper feed is particularly robust, which helps prevent the jamming issues you've experienced.
Pro tip: Regardless of which printer you choose, using high-quality paper (90-100gsm) can significantly reduce jamming issues when printing labels.
Hope this helps! Let us know if you need any further assistance.
Christine,
