Seiko SLP850 2" Direct Thermal Label Printer
Seiko SLP850 Label Printer Description
Meet the Seiko SLP850 — a compact 2" direct thermal desktop label printer built for the way you actually work. As the next-generation successor to the popular Seiko SLP650, the SLP850 keeps everything users loved about the SLP600 series and adds a slimmer footprint, faster output, and modern connectivity. It’s an easy desktop upgrade for offices, pharmacies, retail counters, warehouses, schools, and any workspace that needs sharp, reliable labels on demand.
Because the SLP850 uses direct thermal printing, there’s no ink, no toner, and no ribbons to buy or replace — ever. Just load a roll and start printing. At 300 DPI, every barcode, line of address text, and product detail comes out crisp and scannable the first time, so you spend less time reprinting and more time getting things out the door.
Why You’ll Love the Seiko SLP850
The SLP850 is designed to drop into your workflow without a learning curve. Seiko’s free, intuitive Smart Label Creator software lets you design and print labels in minutes, while plug-ins for Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and Access pull your address and data fields in automatically. Shrink-to-fit and word-wrap make sure your text always fits the label, and saved label formats are just a click away for fast reprints.
It plays well with everything, too. Print from virtually any Windows® or Mac application, and now from iOS and Android devices as well — perfect for mobile-first teams and shared workstations. Best of all, your existing Seiko labels still work without modification, so upgrading is painless.

Linerless Labeling: Less Waste, More Done
The SLP850 is the first printer in its class to offer linerless label support — and it’s a genuine workflow upgrade. Linerless labels have no backing paper to peel and toss, which means:
- Flexible length — print labels of any length, sized to your content
- Less waste — no liner means a smaller environmental footprint and less to throw away
- Faster output — skip the peel step and keep your line moving
And if you prefer traditional labels, the SLP850 handles those beautifully too — giving you the freedom to choose the right media for every job.
