Review on πŸ–¨οΈ LOSRECAL 4x6 Thermal Shipping Label Printer: Fast Desktop Barcode Label Printer for Home and Small Business Shipping Packages on Etsy, Ebay, Amazon, UPS, USPS by Michael Hudson

Mixed Package - Printer

The good news is that once the LOSRECAL 4x6 Thermal Shipping Label Printer is up and running, it does what it's supposed to do. One problem is that my labels have a useless header and footer that need to be cropped before being applied to the packaging and require regular repositioning of the blank label. But that's the fault of the program I use to buy shipping. I don't have a paper holder, but it works fine without it, just pull the next label out of the stack and slide it into place. Setup for my Mac (Big Sur operating system) would have been relatively easy if I had ignored the small instruction booklet where the step-by-step instructions didn't work for almost every step. Who writes these things? I was able to bypass any problem and hook it up like any other new printer, although I had no idea what I was doing afterward. The keys were getting my computer to recognize it so I could switch printers if I needed to print labels and change the label size to 4" x 6" on the site where I buy postage . Underneath is what's called a USB card reader, which I've never used and which looks like the female end of a USB connection. Due to the silly connection process, I'm hesitant to recommend this thing to a Mac user, although I can confirm that the connection is possible. The printer comes with a small supply of blank labels, so I bought 500 at a time. Sometimes a few extra labels are advanced before printing, but that doesn't happen often and at some point I can even understand why it happens. When it prints, it's almost instantaneous and the print quality is good. I connected to Firefox.

Pros
  • Highest support and durability ratings from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
