These two sit at opposite ends of the range. The K3 takes die-cut rolls from 20mm up to 82mm wide, plus fanfold stacks — and it also runs continuous receipt paper. The H1S is pocket-sized and takes the same 12–15mm die-cut rolls as the D series, plus continuous 15mm stock you cut to any length with its built-in blade. Neither prints 4×6" shipping labels. What they share is that both handle continuous media, which the rest of the range does not.
K3 label sizes
The K3 label range covers most desktop jobs:
- Small and multi-lane: 14×22mm 4-lane, 25×15mm 3-lane, 30×15mm and 30×20mm 2-lane — for printing several small labels per pass
- Everyday sizes: 40×20, 40×30, 40×60, 50×20, 50×30, 50×50, 50×80mm
- Wide: 60×50, 60×80, 60×100, 70×20, 70×40, 70×80, 70×100, 80×50, 80×100, 80×120 and 80×160mm
- Other materials: transparent in 14×30mm 4-lane, 40×30, 40×60mm 2-lane and 60×60mm, plus yellow and blue at 70×50 and 75×40mm
That top end — 80×160mm — is where the K3 earns its place for warehouse and logistics labels that the pocket models cannot touch.
The K3 also takes continuous receipt paper
This is the K3's least-known capability and the reason it suits a counter rather than a stockroom. Alongside die-cut labels and fanfold stacks, it runs plain continuous receipt paper — so one machine covers shelf-edge tickets and cafe price tags during the day and customer receipts at the till. Most desktop label printers do labels only, and most receipt printers do receipts only.
H1S die-cut sizes
The H1S shares its die-cut stock with the D11, D110 and D101, so anything in the D-series roll range fits: 6×22, 8×25, 12×22, 12×30, 12×40, 14×40, 14×60, 14×70, 15×26, 15×30 and 15×50mm, plus round 14×28mm, cable flags, index tabs, luminous stock and cartoon designs. If you already own a D11, your existing rolls work.
H1S continuous stock — the reason to buy it
Everything above is what the H1S has in common with the D series. What separates it is continuous label rolls: 15mm wide, 7.5m long, in white, grey, light yellow, cyan and transparent. There are no gaps and no fixed size — you print a label as long as your text needs and the built-in blade trims it.
That solves the problem every die-cut user eventually hits: a long ingredient list or file name that will not fit a 12×40mm label. On the H1S you just print a longer one. For pantry jars and folder spines where names vary wildly in length, it is the difference between shrinking the font and getting it right. Browse the full H1S label range.
What does not fit
Neither machine prints 100×150mm (4×6") courier labels — for that you need the B4, and our B31 and B4 guide covers those sizes. Neither takes thermal transfer PET stock either; that belongs to the N1 and M2.
Which one do you need?
Choose the K3 for volume at a fixed desk: mains powered, 180mm/s, up to 150 labels a minute, wide stock, and receipts when you need them. Choose the H1S for small labels where length varies and portability matters. If you are weighing die-cut against continuous in general, our piece on label tape vs label rolls explains the trade-off.
