## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Star
*by A***D on 3 September 2025*

Great, thank you

### ⭐ Bar code is really blurred
*by F***A on 27 January 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent label printer
*by R***5 on 8 November 2023*

This has been very good for our labels, I’ve gone from printing A4 sheets of paper and cutting and sticking to this all in 1 which has been a game changer. The speed is very surprising and the thermal print is clear and accurate every time. It’s very odd not having print cartridges and as far as I can work out it will be cheaper with the cost of cartridges and paper compared to the cost of just thermal labels. The size of the printer is tiny and very easy to position, it prints in either direct thermal or thermal transfer which differ in price so depending what you want it for the choice is yours. I use the Bluetooth option which is brilliant, it’s easy to control and the settings are straight forward and it will save the choices. I’ve used a few of the main couriers, yodel, post office and more and they all print out perfectly. You have settings as well for printing darker or lighter as well which is useful, it doesn’t make any difference to the sharpness of the label, the couriers have been able to scan the barcodes every time without problem which is more than happens for my old deskjet. If you are printing a lot of labels then honestly this will be a great addition to your setup, it still boggles my mind how they can use heat to be so accurate, no clue, but this is a brilliant little printer.
