Your options
If you print black address or small shipping labels

$124.99, up to 93 address labels a minute.
If you print 4 in shipping labels
Brother QL-1100 Wide Format Professional Label Printer

How to spend less and get more out of it
- Standard mode prints twice as fast as Vivid (0.3 vs 0.15 in a second).
- The box includes a ~1 in CZ-1004 roll (16.4 ft) and a ~2 in cleaning cassette.
- Design on a phone with Color Label Editor 2, or on Windows and Mac with P-touch Editor; both are free.
Verdict: Skip unless…
Skip unless you need color. For black shipping and address labels, a QL printer fits better.
