Itari Thermal Label Printer, 4x6 Shipping Label Printer for Shipping Packages & Small Business, Desktop Label Printer

I picked this up to replace my older shipping label printer and I couldnt be happier with this new one. It prints perfect and was set up in under 5 minutes and I was back to work again. I highly recommend this printer.

For the price that they want for this thing it should run like a well oiled machine. Instead its the most problematic piece of crap that Ive ever dealt with. It doesnt detect its OWN labels let alone outside labels. When it finishes printing it doesnt end it with the perforation where you can easily tear the lable off, no, it leaves it in inside the printer which makes you pull it, which then makes the printer think that it is jammed and it errors out. You can temp clear the error by turning it off and on. But as soon as you print again it will error again as you try to get the label out. Going through their process of calibration helps nothing...since it cant seem to detect any label beginning or end. I went through their whole roll of labels trying to make the stupid thing work right. I finally got it to work though I dont know how, it just decided to behave all of a sudden after I pulled it OUT of the garbage can to give it one more try to be really really sure. Oh and on the roll holder I changed the smooth part of the side pieces from facing outward to facing inward...though I dont know why that would help, it was fitting fine the other way and the roll was rolling...shrugs.

I love everything about this label printer because it does exactly what it’s needing to do. Perfect for small businesses that’s just starting out.

Keeping in mind that different products will have their own unique software and process, I will say while the installation is relatively straightforward, we ran into a few bumps in the road when used on a mac (those problems did not exist with a PC). The material quality and “compactness” of this is great because everything is together, and it can hold a decently sized roll inside. The overall size is a bit bulkier than I expected, but it’s still smaller than one I have that requires a separate stand to hold the labels. The printed manual has quite a bit of information to help you get started, but doesn’t address a lot of common troubleshooting issues. Also, I don’t know if this is specific to my model, but the manual indicated holding the feed button for a few blinks would detect the gaps - this is not accurate, it will just keep spitting paper out and requires in-app fine-tuning. Also, when you insert your first sticker, it will completely spit out and has to be removed (whereas another I have detects the label and then retracts it for use. As for printing quality, this is where things get rocky. On a Mac, when you use the app to create a custom label you can determine the print quality, however when integrating directly from online stores I found there to be wide gaps of white space and grainy text. The only way I was able to adjust this was by saving it as a PDF, then importing it to the app and adjusting the print settings there. The manual shows how to adjust the quality on a Mac, however even though I have the proper update, the print display did not offer the features pictured. You’ll want to make sure the printing space is “fit to area” and the proper label size is selected or it will print off center. With a PC, it was much easier, but I will say the included paper came in a very limited quantity and wasn’t nearly as good as a third party brand that seemed more compatible with the thermal component of this one.

GREAT FOR PRINTING LABELS ESPECIALLY POSTAL. LOADING THE PAPER ROLL WAS SIMPLE AS WELL.

The label printer is very easy to set up. Includes a USB flash drive with drivers for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It also includes free label software if you need it. Some nice features: - USB compatible - Top button form feed - Easy to install paper roll - Uses standard 4 x 6 thermal roll shipping labels I purchased the printer because it said it was compatible with Shipstation which I use as my main shipping software. I have used the Dymo 4XL previously and this unit is more sturdy and if a label jams, seems like it will be much easier to clear as it is straight through versus the Dymo that goes between rollers and I have had issues with. Would recommend.

Easy to use, seems good print quality good for small business.

This label printer was easy to set up. It comes with a partial roll of labels, the power adapter, USB cord, an adapter from USB for a MAC computer, and a USB thumb drive with the drivers and other stuff. I installed the driver for Windows and the D520 Printer was ready to go. Make sure you see this printer in Windows in Printers & Scanners, or when you go to print a label, look for that printer to print your label to. There’s a sample shipping label you can open in a PDF reading program, and then you can print the label to the D520 printer. The sample label is a typical Postal or UPS type label, and it printed perfectly.

***Update #2 - After a year of owning this printer and using it a few times a week, the print is coming out super light - almost unreadable. I have cleaned the printer head, adjusted settings etc. But no joy. For that reason I am changing my rating to 3 stars. ***Update - I figured out how to make a label without making a PDF. It works great. Though, I know this printer accepts a variety of labels, I do wish I knew what brand labels they included with the unit as they work perfectly. Now that I have worked with it awhile, I realize that every time I turn it on it pushes out a blank label. I am not sure why it does that. But I use the blanks to cover addresses etc. old boxes I reuse for shipping.*** Every time I buy replacement ink for my regular printer it seems to get more expensive. So I decided to pick up this thermal printer to use for labels I make for packages I ship. I picked this one from many because I really like how compact it is yet it holds a roll of labels inside - no fussing with a separate label holder. To my surprise, the directions are very good. I was able to set it up with my MAC quickly. My first round I had some trouble printing so I shut everything down and restarted and that fixed it. For USPS labels, I had to download a PDF of the label, then crop it and then run it. Once I got the hang of it - it was pretty easy. I am super pleased with this and feel it will save me a lot of money. It comes with a roll of blank labels so tha was nice too!

Needed this label printer to ship products for my buisness and it has been amazing. Super easy to set up and use. Came with everything you need to do the job and even included a roll of labels. I love that it holds the roll of labels to save space. So far Ive printed a couple of labels and the print came out clear and dark. There is a variety of templates you can choose as well. I was able to figure out how everything works pretty quickly. Ive had no issues with it and enjoy using it. Im so happy I can print all my labels at home now, makes it so much easier and saves me time. Overall very satisfied with it.
