All printers are priced with Thermal transfer option, and the standard duty cutter. Please note: posted pricing is based on manufacturer suggested minimum advertised pricing. While some of those bar code websites may have lower posted prices than us, they do not know how to use these printers for heat shrink labeling. Therefore, we encourage you to call us so we can put together a proper package for you. (Printer can be used with 2:1 or 3:1 heat shrink tubing). Printer can print on up to 3" ID tubing).
