This Thermal Sticker Printer Is My Tech ‘Upgrade of the Year’
However, I’ve only had this tiny gadget for about a month, but it’s gotten daily use in my house. With Christmas coming up, I use it to print gift tags and labels. I use custom stickers to make charts in my workout journal, and it’s even become the centerpiece of the Elf on the Shelf’s interaction with my daughter.
What Exactly Is a Thermal Sticker Printer?
Meanwhile, these are “thermally” printed because there is no ink. Instead the receipts or labels are made of a coated paper that turns dark when exposed to heat. The printer just heats up the appropriate areas of the paper as it exits the machine.
How It’s Useful
Consequently, I’m finally putting proper labels on the candy that I give as gifts every Christmas, with ingredients and everything. In past years I wanted to, but then I’d have to figure out how to design a label, and what to print it on, and then I’d have to assign a kid to cut them out and tape or tie them on—none of this is hard, but it’s just one more thing.
How It’s Fun
Moreover, this is where the kids come in. Specifically my youngest, who immediately printed out stickers for herself and her friends. (Because the paper is so cheap, I don’t mind giving her Bluetooth access from her own device—she can go to town.)
