Abstract

A device (1) for printing labels (2) by means of thermal printing using a thermal head (3), which has a thermal strip (4), having a counter-pressure element carrier (5), which has a counter-pressure element (6), wherein an insertion gap (7) is formed between the thermal strip (4) and the counter-pressure element (6), through which the label (2) to be printed in each case can be guided, wherein the thermal head (3) is fastened in a movable manner on a thermal head carrier (8) and wherein the thermal strip (4) is pressed with a predetermined contact pressure against the counter-pressure element (6). To reduce the operating costs, the counter-pressure element (6) is movable relative to the insertion gap (7). A method for printing labels (2) using the device (1) is also disclosed.
