Do I need a thermal label printer?

If you ship more than 10 items per week, absolutely. Thermal label printers eliminate ink costs and print a label in 2 seconds. They pay for themselves in ink savings within months.

Essential for avoiding USPS overweight surcharges. A scale accurate to 0.1 oz pays for itself the first time it prevents a $15 surcharge on a $5 profit item.
