Does his job! Great alternative to Rollo

I've had 2 dymos (both jam a lot and are too dumb to stop printing if they get stuck). I also have a roller blind (love it but sometimes skip pages). There are several differences between Phomemo and Rollo. I print 200 to 300 labels a day. Phomemo works 100% the way a label printer should. Phomemo is very similar to Rollo at a comparable price. The printer settings are in millimeters, not US inches, but this is a small tick that only needs to be adjusted once. Phomemo is a little bigger, mainly the color difference. Both Rollo and Phomemo stop when there is a problem (fault, cable disconnection, etc.). The noise level when printing is about the same for both. Phomemo emits an extremely loud beep when he has problems (Rollo is silent). It's great because I can go somewhere else to do something and when it beeps I know something went wrong, but it's VERY LOUD and VERY annoying. it stops printing after 12-15 labels. It will just stop. If you continue printing it gives out blank labels then Phomemo knows something is wrong and it beeps very loudly when you stop printing. It fixes itself if you turn it off and on again. Then the imprints are normal all day. I'm not entirely sure why this is happening, but it's not fatally annoying. Rollo also has its own quirks: it skips certain shortcuts, but doesn't notify you until you pick up the package and frantically start troubleshooting. So choose your poison.

Pros
