A fantastic little machine.
This machine is so handy, you can print via wifi from your phone, photo stickers, craft labels, scrap book embellishments. The only limit is your imagination. You can design labels whilst travelling and save them until you get home and then print. Makes this a very versatile machine, especially for a crafter. But also good for the office for labelling and printing I.D badges for example.

Disappointing
In theory I love this printer, but there are so many frustrating elements.
(1) The instructions are sadly lacking in detail
(2) Getting support is very difficult
(3) There seem to be many elements that cannot be resolved...ie. Why does it not print in the colour shown on the screen ( I am using it with my new HP Envy x360 2 in 1 laptop) I put neon yellow on the screen, it prints DARK mustard yellow.
(4) There is not an alternative out there to compete with this printer...sadly.

Amazing Label printer
I bought this two weeks ago, due to working in telecoms for the NHS and also running my own small business I needed a printer that would enable me to print standard labels for work, and something more artistic for my business. And with three school aged daughters they needed labels for folders.
This has been exactly what I needed and is amazing for all my needs. I can not recommend this printer enough. Great price amazing quality and an all round excellent label printer.

Very good!!!
I bought this for my small business and I am really happy! Fast and low cost maintenance. Only problem is that in really small and busy prints stickers turn up a bit more red than the original. Apart from that I really adore this printer. Also very friendly and helpful customer service. Well done!

Easy to use printer
I purchased this a wee while ago and I must say after a bit of gigging around managed to instal it . I have found it a tad slow from the black and white one but excellent in the quality of labels. I had to buy the wider tape labels as I found the narrow ones just a bit to small for my projects ,Defiantly a boost for my work .

A Bit Temperamental
Being able to print colour labels is great. The editing package is relatively easy to use there are three widths to choose for labels. The link is via WiFi and can be rather temperamental at times. When it is working it is great but when it 'throw a wobbly' it is frustrating.

Just what I wanted
Very good printer produces very colourful labels. Software for PC and phone very easy to use. Took a while to get it set up as I found the instructions hard to follow, but managed in the end. Very happy with this printer.
