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 Larkeese Casiano

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 post 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 dark low heat setting is not adjustable at the moment (not sure if it's a hardware limitation or if the software needs more programming) and a software/firmware issue for a single pixel running in displayed as a square grid (because otherwise it appears as if all 300 dpi pixels are present and no whole break lines are missing). The barcodes and QR codes I've printed with it are recognized by everything with no issues, and the text I've printed might be a little 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. Overall quality is fantastic and good enough for most things, price is good (much better than the Dymo), the stickers are not 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 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 pass -Through wanted printer. If you have a label printer where label sheets move around reels and you need to remove labels regularly, this printer should solve the problem.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
