Why use a thermal postage printer?
There are a number of reasons you might consider using a separate dedicated thermal postage printer:

• Having a dedicated printer for printing postage means that you don't have to feed labels into your laser or inkjet printer when you need to prepare a mail piece. You also don't have to worry about someone accidentally printing on your labels, or accidentally printing postage on normal paper.
• Having a dedicated printer for printing postage makes printing quicker, saving you valuable time for other activities.
• The printer path on a label printer is straight which eliminates jamming and resulting label waste.
• Finally, thermal printers are less expensive to operate than laser or inkjet printers and you never run out or need to purchase ink or toner.

Which labels can I use with thermal printers?
Thermal printers can print NetStamps label rolls and shipping label rolls.

• NetStamps label rolls combine the convenience of regular stamps with the flexibility of printing postage from your computer. Once you purchase your NetStamps labels from Stamps.com you print the exact postage you need onto the labels and use them to send your mail to any location, domestic or international
• Shipping labels give your package a professional look and save you time by no longer hassling with plain paper and tape. Once you purchase your shipping labels from Stamps.com you just print the exact postage you need onto the labels and peel and place them on your package.
