LetSketch Label Maker, Portable Bluetooth Thermal Label Printer Compatible with Android & iOS for Clothing, Retail, Mailing Address, Barcode, with 4 Roll 40 x 30mm Label (Red)

I love the look of this label maker and wanted to love it. It prints everything, but poorly. I had no issue pairing the unit, but printing is clunky. It doesnt seem to do a good job of centering and fitting the space properly even when centered. I was so excited for the photos and maybe I was expecting too much from this printer, but theyre pretty awful and again difficult to center and fill the space. When I say awful no one was able to tell what I even printed. This comes with extra paper, but I swear its because youll use all of the rolls just trying to get one label right. Maybe this is user error, but I tried everything I could and Im usually fairly tech savvy.

The label printer looks very cool and it was easy to pair to my phone from the Android app. Just make sure you you give it the appropriate permissions. Theres a roll of labels inside the printer but it was extremely loose and I had to wind it tight. Inserting the labels and alignment is simple. The arrows on the sides of the holders should point up, insert the roll and squeeze together. The label calibration is also very simple just long press to turn on and tap 5 times. The app isnt too difficult to use for creating labels but does have a learning curve. There are different, design icons, fonts, barcodes, etc. Thats the good. The bad is the print quality is poor in my opinion which is why youd want a label printer, for good label printouts. I tried changing the density but it had little to no affect. It was gradient and had streaks. You can see the quality from the 3 pictures numbered (1) medium (2, 3) high density. Its also not the fastest at printing labels. If the print quality were better, this would be a 5 star label printer despite the print speed.

My husband worked with this unit for a full day and we still couldnt get it to work properly. When it did work, the print was so small as to be nearly illegible. I wanted to love this but, for us, the instructions were unclear.

I have another label maker but wanted to try this one to make address labels. This label maker has individual square labels that come with it. You can also use a “roll” with round labels. What I realize is that if a word is long the size of the font has to be reduced to fit across the label. My other label maker can print labels horizontally for as long a label as you’d like and not have to make the font smaller. This is good to use on an envelope but to make labels for containers I’d want something more visible.

The first thing to know is the labels are not huge. The ones that come with the label maker are about one inch by an inch and a half. You can see the relative size in the pictures I attached. I used the largest possible font size. It does print black and white graphics pretty well, but not anything in grayscale. Setup was confusing as the instructions do not tell you how to actually pair the device with your phone. It turns out, it pairs automatically when the device is on and you hold down the button until it flashes and you are in the iLabel app with the correct device selected. But it doesn’t pair from iPhone settings. Also it’s a bit fussy about the paper roll and keeps saying it’s out of paper when you tear off the label you’ve printed. So you have to open the label compartment and adjust the roll of labels. Even with these drawbacks I like the label maker, with its sleek retro design, very much.

i love the retro look of this. easy to set up and put the labels in easy to use, great adhesion and no issues with the printing.

I had some trouble getting this to print. Downloaded the software (iLabel) from the Play Store. Opened the app and answered some basic questions. The cell phone or tablets Bluetooth needs to be ON but the pairing and connection is done in the iLabel app. Created a simple test label and tried to print it. It asked me several questions which did not make sense and after a few clicks I ended right back where I started from. Spent 15 minutes trying every combination of answers to the same questions and always ended back at the start. When I initially opened the app I was given the option of setting the location to approximate or precise. I selected approximate. That was the problem. I could not get it to print unless I set the location to precise. Why give me an option when only one of the options will work? The ON/OFF LED light can not be seen unless viewed directly from above. That is a bit frustrating because the LED also indicates if there is a problem with the printer or if the battery is low and needs recharging. There is a retaining clip which keeps the labels against the left side of the printer. Probably due to being tossed around during shipping, the retaining clip was pushed all the way to the right. I pushed it toward the left to keep the labels in the correct place.

PROS: Unlike label printers that print a straight strip, this can do larger graphics. The included artwork was extensive and cute. I could see these being nice to put on a wall calendar. I made a couple of stickers and a dental appointment reminder using the included fonts and graphics as examples. Also, it gives you the option to print black and white images from your phones gallery. CONS: there are only 11 available fonts in the app. Having lost the manual, I had to do some tinkering to figure out how to center the labels. It makes a big difference when trying to print labels with a frame. If you already have the device and cant get the labels to center... the labels have to be as far to the left as they can go. Pull out the roll and push the bulkier side of the roll holder in, so that its snug on the size of roll that you have, this will keep it to the left. Since the roll was preinstalled, I thought it would come set up accordingly, but maybe it shifted before it got to me. Either way, once I squeezed the roll holder so that it was snug against the roll, it was then lined up properly.

I wanted to use this label printer to help myself get organized. The app was fairly easy to setup and the printer was easy to connector to on android. It didnt take much work to get it to print out text. It can also do images but Im not sure if Ill be that adventurous. The printer is very small and light. The paper was easy to install and the charger is USB C so Im happy there. My main complaint is that the app keeps trying to give setup tips when I first open it and I havent found a way to stop that yet. Also, the default printing darkness is slightly too faint for my liking. The image I included is at the darkest setting. Overall: Meets my needs well and is extremely portable.

I absolutely love this thing!!!! Not only is the design of it absolutely adorable, but it has unlimited possibilities and I love it. Its very easy to use too. After unpacking everything, I followed the instructions and downloaded the app for it from the Playstore. Then all I had to do was connect it to my phone, which I admit took me a minute, but I figured it out pretty quickly. Once I did that, all I had to do was learn how to design what label I wanted to create and then print it out. The printing is actually very quick I think. And considering all of the options you can use, I am really very impressed with this and the quality of the labels too. As you can see in the picture, I even made one for (Rayann) my daughters 3ds, which she loves. This is perfect for anyone who needs to use or print out a lot of address labels or whatever else they need to label. I really didnt think that I would use it that much, but now that I know all of its capabilities, Ive used it more than I thought I would!! And if you need to buy more rolls of labels, they arent really that expensive, and you can also find them on Vine if you are a member. However, it does come with 3 rolls of labels and I believe that will last you for a minute. All in all, this has got to be the best label maker that Ive ever owned... Of course the last one I owned was the old style that you held in your hand and squeezed the lever to impress the letters onto the tape. Man, do I feel old now!!! Yikes. Anyway, I highly recommend this for anyone because there are so many different things that it can be used for and its really user-friendly.
