> 3 dayI already have a dozen or so DYMO and Brother brand label makers, but this little unit fills in a lot of holes in capabilities. Small (about 2 cigarette packs thick & you can hold it in your hand), Bluetooth wireless, inkless, thermal, printer, powered by a rechargeable internal Lithium battery. IOS or Android. Download the Print Master app (for Apple IOS), and use your cell phone or wireless pad as a controller / display. I wanted this one because of the Lithium battery, and a larger, different variety of text fonts, tape colors, tape types (even iron-on), & and unit colors. The widest usable tape is 1/2”, but it can put up to 3 lines of text & icons on it … & a single line of BOLD text almost fills the 1/2” wide tape. It’s small enough to be a great compliment for your cell phone and pad, giving you the capability to take it with you, and create labels on the spot … wherever you are. It’s not the DYMO thick plastic embossed tape label maker, but it uses the thinner tapes, made of plastic, paper, and fabric I’m still playing with it, but so far, all the labels look great, and the adhesive seems to last! The lid is not hinged, and getting the lid off and back on takes a little practice. For the features, the money and the flexibility, it’s a GREAT buy.

> 3 dayThis is perfect for my needs. I can change the font or the color of paper. I needed labels on my coffee tins, as well as keys I put in my sage. This did the job, and the best part is, no ink needed. Easy win, controlled thru an app on your phone.

> 3 dayIm obsessed with these modern mini label makers. Ive got a few of them, but this one is my favorite so far! I got it because satin ribbon can be used in it, but I havent purchased the satin ribbon yet. Im hoping theyll make more colors like silver, gray, or black so I can gift wrap to match my business branding! That said, it came with three rolls of continuous label tape in transparent, white, and black. I popped in a roll and started printing labels immediately! I had already downloaded and used the Print Master app before so I was familiar with its easy-to-use interface. Its the app I prefer over others! The printer is intuitive to use. I started using it without even reading the instructions! The clear round window on the side lets you see how much tape is left on the roll. The print quality is clear and easy to read. The backs are split so you can easily pull off the backing. This is my second Phomemo label printer and probably wont be my last! Theyre fun and easy to use and satisfy my OCD need to organize and label everything!

> 3 dayThis little label printer is completely intuitive to set up. You just snap in the cartridge and download the app. The Print Master app connected with my iPhone without any trouble at all (and reconnects automatically after many hours of the printer being turned off). My only delay in the setup was that I was trying to create an account with the app using my email, and I could never get it to send me a verification code. When I signed up instead via my Apple account, it was seamless. The app is intuitive too. There are a lot of font choices, and you can easily change the font weight and other attributes. There are also emojis. The print quality is as I expected from other label machines Ive used, which is to say, pretty good (but not the quality youd expect, say, in a printed book). The labels are good quality and seem to adhere really well. Its nice not having to create labels using a physical keyboard on the device, which is always a bit clunky. But of course, that also has the downside of ones being wed to the app, so I guess its a mixed bag. The app can be updated in the future, but it can also be retired. (I had a beloved label maker that attached to my computer and was operated via a Mac program. Ultimately, the software couldnt be updated. I still grieve the loss.) Anyway, Im happy with this label maker and dont see anything to complain about!

> 3 dayThis label maker is really high tech. The developers thought long and hard about the handy design. Most of the label makers Ive used in the past have been clunky, hard to reload, used clunky/cryptic keyboards. But not this one. I had it setup in 2 minutes. Was able to download the app, login, and make a label in less than 5 minutes. I added emojis, animals, and more to them. My labels can look professional, personal or just funny. Lots of different fonts too. The best thing is it works with my Bluetooth phone, keyboard. I can save the stickers for later editing or re-use. Im wondering how hard it might be to order more blank tapes? Ill find out. Im in love with this little guy. Makes my life easier and more organized.

> 3 dayI want to love this, a label maker that connects to your phone?!?! Too cool! The one thing holding me back is the cutting feature is very picky, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t want to cut.

Greater than one weekPurchased this for my mother to replace an old one that has the keyboard on it. Those older ones are not user friendly at all. It seems like the keyboard on it would make things easy but nope. She couldnt figure out how to get icons to print since you had to memorize like 50 letters number codes to get the pic you wanted. This fixes all problems for her. She was printing labels for everything with pictures and different fonts and sizes in about five minutes. Ive used it myself a few times now and it is so much better. It prints fast, clean, quiet and has some very cool options for different types of labels, and the labels themselves are quick and easy to change. Last but not least, the built in rechargeable battery is a great improvement over the last 2 we had, or actually, still have but regardless of how new the batteries they always display LOW BATTERIES before printing a single label. So, I can happily say, I recommend this.

> 3 dayLabels don’t stick to metal, plastic or leather. They just peel off. I have to use clear cellophane tape on top of label to secure it to the back of my iPhone, metal cabinets, etc. Sticks to paper, that’s about it.

> 3 dayMini Label Maker - Label Maker Machine Phomemo P12-Pro USB Rechargeable Label Makers, Portable Label Maker with Tape Easy Use for Smart Phone, with 1 Plastic Label Ideal for Home Office Organization (Off-White)Mini Label Maker - Label Maker Machine Phomemo P12-Pro USB Rechargeable Label Makers, Portable Label Maker with Tape Easy Use for Smart Phone, with 1 Plastic Label Ideal for Home Office Organization (Off-White) The labeler comes packaged simply in a white cardboard box with clear shrink wrap. The cover slides off easily, revealing the label maker itself on the top, along with a USB c charge cable. At the bottom of the box is a fold-out booklet with instructions. The labeler does not come with its own charger, so youll have to supply your own phone charger to plug the USB cable into. I plugged the short charging cable into my phone charger, and plug the other end into the label maker. A small green LED blinks quickly when you put it on to charge. Reading through the instructions, it tells you to put the p12 label cassette in first, but in this case, the cassette is already installed in the machine. Upon careful inspection of the label-making tape, I saw that you need to remove the cartridge, pull a tape seal off the tape cartridge, and reinstall it. I noticed when I pulled the sealing tape from the cartridge that the back printing material wanted to separate from the label tape, so you might be careful about that. When I put the cover for the tape cartridge back on, I noticed that the little clear window does line up with the end of the tape so that you can see how much tape is left in the machine. I had pulled a couple of inches out to get past that backing material that was pulling off earlier and it cut cleanly with the built-in cutter on the printer. Next, the instructions send you to Google Play or the app store to download the Printmaster app. If you go directly to the Play store, it shows multiple versions of this app. The instructions give you a QR code to use, so I used that to pinpoint the correct app for this device. Youll want the one that says Printmaster by Quinn LLC and has a little red mushroom logo. Installing. It takes moments, but Im sure that will vary depending on your download speeds. Once you have the app installed on your phone, youll have to register it and create an account, [complete with a password] and they will email a verification code to you that was required before you can use it. The app instructions are pretty straightforward and take you step by step to tell you how to create a label. Youll have to unplug your charging cord before using the printer, as it has to be turned on and have a solid green light before starting. I was a little confused with my first test label because it appeared that nothing had been printed on the label. Then I noticed that the black strip on the back which had been loose before had now adhered to the tape’s backing. The black strip of plastic heat fuses to the label to create your printing. When you peel off the label to use it, you have to peel off the black strip to reveal your label, and then it has the standard horizontal crack and peel backing. The adhesive that comes on the label seems to work well enough. The carbon tape that does the actual printing is a new wrinkle for me. I had not seen this before in a label maker. I hope that the refills for these are not expensive. I read through all of the instructions, and there wasnt a lot of reference to the charging of the device, as to how long it will take for a full charge. Charge. There was a reference in the FAQ, that did mention that you need to charge this for more than 2 and 1/2 hours, so I am presuming thats how long it takes for a full charge. Im going to plug it back in the charge and well check on the unit later. A short time later (about 30 minutes) I checked the printer and the light glowed solid, so I presume thats a full charge. With this device, you dont know how much battery charge you have left until you get a warning for low battery. Having printed several stickers on this now, Im happy with the interface of the program on your phone and the unit, it does print clearly. The part that I dont care for and is a little bit of a pain in the neck is the black carbon that fuses to the label to print it. The black plastic tape just unrolls with your finished label and gives you another piece of mess on your desktop to deal with when youre trying to label things. The crack line on the back of the label tape works fine for removing the backing before sticking your label.
