I gave a bad review a few weeks ago when I thought the labels weren't printing. It took me a while, but I suddenly realized that this newfangled thermal label printer (something I'd never used before) actually took a piece of a previous label that was stuck to the hotplate. It was blocking the pressure on the left side, and I ruthlessly blamed the labels. My sincere apologies! They work great once I've cleaned up the mess. They always print clean. They stick very well. I will reorder.
