Stamps.com supports inkjet, laser, and thermal printers for printing NetStamps, envelopes, and shipping labels.
The best printer for your account depends on how often you print, the supplies you use, and whether you need features such as color printing or high-volume label printing.

|
Printer Type |

Inkjet and laser printers are good options if you already own a printer and print labels occasionally.
Choose an inkjet or laser printer if you:
-
Print a low volume of labels.
-
Print on plain paper, envelopes, NetStamps sheets, or shipping label sheets.
-
Need to print color documents, such as packing slips with logos.
-
Prefer to use an existing printer rather than purchase a dedicated label printer.
Thermal printers are designed specifically for label printing and use heat instead of ink or toner.
Choose a thermal printer if you:
-
Print a large number of shipping labels or NetStamps.
-
Want faster print speeds.
-
Want to avoid ink and toner costs.
-
Prefer a compact printer designed for label printing.
Thermal printers are generally more durable than standard printers and are less likely to experience label jams.
