An apparatus for applying images to a strip of print media is disclosed. The apparatus includes a printing mechanism having a platen and a thermal print head mounted on a mounting bar, for biased engagement with the platen, the strip passing intermediate the thermal print head and the platen, a thermal printing film passing intermediate the strip and the thermal print head and a print head lifting mechanism which is movable between a first position, in which the print head lifting mechanism is disengaged from the mounting bar, thereby allowing the print head to be biased into engagement with the platen, and a second position, in which the head lifting mechanism engages the mounting bar, thereby lifting the print head out of engagement with the platen.
