Label printers print single black and white labels of various sizes. They are great when you need 1 label or just a few labels rather than a whole sheet of labels. The labels can be a hanging folder tab label, addresses label, shipping label, internet postage stamp, name tag, video tape label, and more. They can have text, graphics and bar codes. They only print in black and white because they use thermal printing which means they never run out of ink, toner or ribbon.
