Review on Thermal Label Printer 300DPI - 4x6 Shipping Label Printer for Amazon, eBay, PayPal, Shopify, Etsy, Shipstation, Windows & Mac - Ideal for Home Office & Business Organization by Larry Blanco

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost Dymo quality and cheaper, definitely better quality than most other thermal mailers

Almost as good quality as Dymo. cheaper. definitely better quality than most other thermal mail printers. This printer doesn't print as darkly on thermal foils as the Dymo when tested on the same sheets of labels, and it's missing a few pixels that appear on the square grid. So my guess is that the low heat setting for darkness isn't adjustable at the moment (not sure if it's a hardware limitation or the software needs more programming) and the software/firmware issue for a single pixel that's in as displayed square grid (because otherwise it looks like all 300 dpi pixels are there and no whole break lines are missing). The barcodes and QR codes I've printed with it are recognized by everything with no problems, and the text I printed might be a bit better than on my Dymo printers, so I'll definitely keep it to myself . The double HE hockey sticks are much better than the roller blind I tried. I didn't bother to test the speed against Dymo, but it doesn't look like it's incredibly fast; seems to be about as fast as any other label printer. The overall quality is fantastic and good enough for most things, the price is good (much better than the Dymo), the stickers aren't as likely to peel off the paper backing and wrap around the rollers as the Dymo is is, and it is easy to thread the reel. Labels from the roll holder via this printer to the rewinder. I've had my Dymos for about 5 or 6 years and the problem with stickers regularly winding up on rolls requiring you to disassemble the front of the printers and carefully cut and remove the irritating stickers is why I Passport through printer. If you have a label printer that runs label sheets around rolls and you need to remove labels regularly, this printer should solve the problem.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
