Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Seiko Smart Label Printer 420: High-performance Printing for Win/Mac OS - 2 1/8 Wide Prints by David Elam

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Consistently Inconsistent

This label printer is sometimes inconsistent and annoying. Loading labels isn't too difficult, but even if you're very careful with alignment, the printer will gradually offset them with each label printed until the labels are all the way to one side of the printer. The only situation where this won't matter is when you're using it to print labels that span the full width of the printer. At my company, we use labels that are about half the size of addresses, so I often run into this frustration. However, it has never been so bad that I could not bear it. However, in the past few months, the printer has shut down while printing. I haven't changed any settings, made any updates, or changed the type of shortcuts used. However, the problem got worse and now it stops printing about half of the label almost 90% of the time. I can't even tell you how many shortcuts I wasted trying to fix this problem, but I don't think I'll try again. I consider this a lost cause and will ask my company to buy a new one. I guess I should be glad it lasted this long (I've been using this one since 2012 and I think someone else used it years before me, although not as often as I did) even when it was at its peak , it was still wasn't great.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
