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 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.

epson xp-342 had it for 10 years now, had to extend the prining life due to reaching its max printing amount but still going strong, prints in black only now but great printer.

Old Dymo LabelWriter 450 have been used for years. Ensure it's the correct model, not the latest version, as third-party labels are not compatible with the latest models.

we use Brother printer QL-1100C just for barcode labels which will be your bets option.
the labels come in roll form and they the labels size according to your barcode.,
