Revainrating 4 out of 5

Powerful little printer that delivers professional results

In my spare time I sell handmade suits and accessories. The ones using printer waste paper have run out and just taped to the packaging box and while it works it also looks very amateurish. Not to mention that the packaging can be lost if the label gets wet and the ink spills. So I decided to up my wrapping game with this and I'm so glad I did! While it was easy to set up and use, the guide was obviously written by someone whose English skills aren't the best, but I was able to figure it out. I think it's good that the driver software comes on a USB stick. Also, this is my stupid American display, but all measurements in the printer software are in metric units and I can't find a place to convert them to imperial units. It can be a bit confusing at first until you get to the paper size you want to use with it. Setting up online label delivery services for the correct printing is not an easy task. The Revain website, to their credit, recognized my printer and paper size and worked great on my first try, while other websites insist on continuing to give me 8.5 x 11 labels that I had to cut and rotate to get them correct to be printed. Hope I can find out soon. Startup is quick, prints are lightning fast with clean, legible text and good contrast. The resolution is a bit lower than what I'm used to from my standard printer, but this is slightly offset by the time saving and inconvenience with my regular printer. considered a separate optional purchase. I mean sure, I think you could just hand feed the labels or get flat fold ones, but if a home printer bought the paper tray separately there would be a lot of dissatisfied customers.

Pros
  • Office electronics
Cons
  • So far so good
