Review on MUNBYN Barcodes Labels Labeling Mailing Shipping by Brian Krump

This is the only thermal printer I had and I bought it for a new small business. I sell trading cards (Pokemon, YuGiOh!, Magic, etc.) to save money by buying online tracked shipping for much less than mail order and to optimize label creation efficiency. The packaging was really good quality (only mentioned because I literally stopped and thought "wow that's a good quality sturdy box and some premium rigid foam") so it reached without damage, it arrived quickly and so did the printer itself is fantastic. Installation was easy; it came with a usb drive which read my macbook pro with no problem, it installed in about a second and then all i had to do was select it as my printer the first time i tried to print and everything went very smoothly. sailing from there. Also on the disk was a FAQ document on troubleshooting and setup and configuration for use with different delivery platforms, which I found very useful. The kit also included a small packet of thermal labels folded in a fan. A word for the ways that aren't mentioned in the setup guide, as far as I could tell (some of you probably already know this, but as a newbie to thermal printers, it took me a while to figure it out): the first time you For example, when inserting a 4x6 label into the open printer, you need to squeeze the two label guides to tighten them so the label has no room to move to one side or the other. Otherwise it randomly prints slightly off center and I changed the print size to 90% for a while until I realized I needed to shrink/tighten the guides. Now I can print at the normal scale of 100% and the entire label content still comes out on a 4x6 label. It's a fast printer and everything looks big enough to deliver labels - for very small prints it's not quite as sharp as I might expect, but probably 90-95% of the way too sharp (for super small prints it seems being a bit pixelated, but still 100% readable) and I'm just picky enough to notice. When I check the tracking numbers for the orders I've shipped, they contain information so it appears the post office was able to scan all the printed codes. So making important graphics clear enough seems to work well. It's also very efficient to print mailing labels from 4x6 sheets if you take the time to create a template in Word (you just have to go to page layout and resize the page to 4x6; it took me forever to do that figure out) and carefully cut them into smaller strips with multiple addresses per sheet. My only gripe is that it's very light, which is probably fine for some people, but it means that since you have to rip the labels, the printer itself actually comes off the table before the label rips. Because of this I wish it was a lot heavier but I solved the problem by planting a rock on the end of the book/paperweight I have on top and now it won't move lol. You just have to find a way to secure/weight it down if you don't want to put your other hand on it every time you rip the label off.
