Hello, I appreciate all the information in this thread and am wondering if there are any updates to the list of recommended printers. Those previously recommended are discontinued. I am specifically wanting to ensure that I choose a color laser printer that works with your LP labels. Aside from that, it must have a glass for copying (not just feed-through.) I appreciate any suggestions yo may be able to give. Thank you!

gbagels - I understand your concern. Although our current models remain unchanged for testing, our Product Testing Team has found that the models from HP's LaserJet Pro series perform well with our laser-compatible materials. When considering a printer, we encourage you to check the model's specifications to ensure it can accommodate specialty label materials, like our film-based Weatherproof Polyester Laser (LP). Additionally, it's helpful to be aware of the printer's printable area; many printers feature at least one non-printable margin. Understanding this can help you determine if the printer can print to the edge of the sheet or the label, especially if the margins are narrow. For further insights, feel free to click here to learn more about non-printable margins.

I've had good luck with the HP Color LaserJet Pro M452 series for both Weatherproof Polyester and Clear Gloss stock. Just make sure to set the paper type to “Labels” or “Gloss” to avoid any fuser issues.
If you're printing higher volumes, it might be worth looking into a thermal transfer printer like the TSC TTP-247. It's great for synthetic labels, super durable, and you can set it and forget it.
For big laser jobs, something like the HP M553 with an offset stacker helps keep things running smoothly without constant attention.
Hope that helps someone out!
