It lacks the sensors required to print die-cut media, and the lack of an adjustable media hanger limits your print-width options, and features available in the mC-Label3, but the printer more than makes up for this with a comp...

This is in contrast to thermal label printers which utilize either heat to imprint on thermally-sensitive paper or rely on a roll of black ribbon that adheres to ...
