Title.
I’m shopping on Amazon, I have been looking at their promoted ”Rollo Wireless thermal printer” I can’t afford a PC/Laptop right now just for printing and would like to stick with my phone.
So wireless is preferred, ideally I just want it to show up as a printer and not have to use an APP to connect to it.
Who here has what and how much do you love/hate your label/shipping printer?
UPDATE
I went with a Brother QL1110NWB, its wireless and works with air drop or Bluetooth, can print 4x6 and use smaller custom sized labels and it can also be used with batteries.
I have a Brother laser printer and it’s done solid work and hasn’t broke on me yet so I’m gonna try another one of their products.
If anyone is interested I can post an update in a couple weeks once I let my inventory go live again and start using it.
Another reason I went with the brother over many of the other brands is that I have seen people complaining that their printers DPI needs to be at least 3 or USPS and UPS were having trouble scanning their labels.
The rollo was like 200 DPI while the Brother was 300 and I can’t really afford to not use it if the labels don’t scan so I bit the bullet for a more expensive one.
I've been using regulr paper and just taping the label onto the box, but I'm sick of how messy its making the box look. I'm wanting to look into actual sticky paper for labels.
I'm just not sure whether to invest in a label printer, or to just get label paper, such as these: https://a.co/d/eGoQg94
While the paper may be more budget friendly, I'm wondering if the whole dedicated label printer would be better in the long run, and waste wise. I just go through so much tape, it just feels like such a waste.
Anyways, if you do have a label printer, do you recommend it versus a regular printer? Can you just put any old label paper in there or does it have to be a specific brand/type? Can you send labels to it via bluetooth or the cloud or the like? Do the labels stick okay or would I need to tape it down as well? What label printer would you recommend, or does any old amazon one work? How much is too much for a label printer? What should I look for in one?
Thank you all in advance! I'm just growing beyond what I've ever imagined, and I'm excited to see where this goes! I just want my packages to look professional.
Alright, my online small business opens in about 29 days. Is a label printer a good investment or should I just have the post office do it? Is it at all possible to just write the address on the poly mailer/box? I'm new to this so any advice is useful
What would you say is the best thermal printer for printing out address labels ?!
