Review on High-Speed HPRT Label Printer: 4x6 Thermal Label Maker for Major Transportation Platforms - SL42 Barcode Printer with 150mm/s Speed by Warren Hess

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good choice for office electronics

I do e-commerce using an old brand 2 x 7 thermal label printer for shipping and am really tired of awkwardly packing my labels on the sides of my bags. Although I'm just starting out every penny counts so I decided to take advantage of the promotional price I found for this printer and I'm very glad I did. The SL42 was very easy to set up (my iMac saw the printer right away and all I had to do was download and install a driver file from the HPRT website for it to start sending output). The print quality is just as good. like the branded printer I used, but luckily it's better now to use the 4 x 6 inch format. I was also impressed with how easily and smoothly the SL42 loads new labels. I was expecting to have to open the printer and try to get it right to get started, but the reality is you just press the labels against the back when it's closed and it knows what to do with it. Combined with the relatively small footprint, which makes it easy to place this printer almost anywhere (blank labels take up more space than the printer itself), I'm confident I've made a very good choice.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Crumpled
