Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the €0.05 per label estimate come from?
The €0.05 is a conservative estimate that includes the cost of the label sheet (e.g., HERMA 4459: ~€0.0056 per label), ink/toner (~€0.01–€0.03), and a small buffer to account for electricity usage and minimal user time. The software automates label creation, so once set up, the time per label is negligible. Still, this buffer helps ensure the estimate remains realistic for enterprise use cases.
What kind of printers are supported?
Tape Label Studio supports all printers that use the Windows printer subsystem. If your printer can be installed in Windows, it can be used with Tape Label Studio. The software supports any page size — not limited to A4 or Letter — as long as it matches your label sheets.
Do I need special supplies or hardware?
No special hardware is needed. Just a regular printer and common label sheets from brands like HERMA or AVERY.
Is the software a subscription?
No. Tape Label Studio is a one-time purchase. You own the license permanently, with one year of updates included.
