Abstract: The invention relates to a printer with improved label dispensing, and more particularly a printer in which the label is prevented from adhering to the backing paper during the dispensing. The printer comprises a print head (1) for printing labels (4) attached by an adhesive layer to a backing paper (5), a path (2) along which the backing paper together with the labels is brought in front of the print head and on to a dispensing edge (3) at which the backing paper is to be deflected while the labels are released from the backing paper and dispensed in a substantially straight direction. According to the invention, the printer comprises means for moving or removing electric charges. In one embodiment of the invention, the dispensing edge (3) is coated with a material removing charges from the backing paper (5), while another embodiment of the invention is provided with a device that generates an electric field moving electric charges of the labels and the backing paper.
