Specialised label printers are available which can print labels directly from computers. Labels can be printed directly on to envelopes or onto sticky labels. As with mail inserting machines, label printers come in a wide range of sizes and complexities, from small desktop printers to large high-volume industrial models. EMBs are unlikely to have the need or the budget for the larger models, and are more likely to provide large complex mailing jobs to professional mailing companies. However, for printing small runs or one-off labels, EMBs may find the smaller desktop machines are useful.
Sticky labels are also available in standard paper sizes for use in standard office printers.
Standard office automation products such as word processors and databases can be set up to produce mailing labels using these label sheets. Overhead projectors Overhead projectors advanced considerably in the 1990s from the old-fashioned early transparency projectors. While transparency projectors are still available and useful, more advanced projectors can project images directly from a computer onto overhead wide screens. Electronic computer projectors, coupled with presentation software, can deliver very sophisticated presentations. Overhead projectors can project words, data, drawings, photographs, animations and video.
