In 3AMK libraries, we are using special printers for printing spine labels. Our printer models are Datamax E-4203, Datamax E-4204, Attune Delta A2 and TSC TA310.
The label sizes are 38mm x 25mm (Haaga-Helia, Laurea) and 36mm x 23mm (Metropolia)
We are printing labels using browsers Firefox ESR and/or Google Chrome. Notice! Documentation has slightly old screenshots from an older Firefox version. I'll update this soon! (1124.81.2022 2024 Johanna). #Opac

Here's our documentation (pdf) about printing in Koha using Label Maker plugin (document is in Finnish "Selkätarratulostus Kohassa Datamax- ja Attune-kirjoittimille") >
