Recommended HP Model

We recommend the following model, available from Amazon, Best Buy, or any authorized HP dealer:

Brand: HP

Model Name: HP Work Solutions Shipping 4x6 Thermal Label Printer

Model Number: HPKE203

Resolution: 300 DPI (required—do not purchase the 203 DPI model)

Price: Approximately $269.00

Included: Printer, power cord, AC adapter, USB cable, quick start guide

UPC: 843812171977

⚠️ Important: Only the 300 DPI model is compatible with our label setup.

This printer connects via USB and supports both Mac and PC. Chrome or Firefox browsers only, as Safari does not retain settings. If you require Ethernet/network printing, HP also offers an industrial-grade model with Ethernet + USB support for about $349.00.

For ongoing use, you can order replacement labels from suppliers such as labelsdirect.com in the same 1.75” x 0.75” size. If necessary, you may also use 2.0” x 1.0” labels in a pinch—but be sure they are removable, not permanent. Permanent labels can damage your slabs by pulling off the hologram foil when removed.
