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. The invention enables the use of the effect of electrostatical charges in the label and backing paper in a controlled and positive way. Thus, a repellent electric force is created assisting the ejection and separation of the label from the backing paper.
