This is just what I needed. Helped to print the shipping label directly instead print on the plain paper and tape it on to the package. The print quality is OK, it depends on the label you used. Overall happy with it.

I recently purchased the Vretti Thermal Label Printer for my small business and Im very impressed with its performance. The printer is fast and produces high-quality labels for shipping packages. What I love most about this printer is how easy it is to use. I can quickly and easily print the labels I need for my packages, without having to worry about messy ink cartridges or toners. The thermal printing technology means that the labels are resistant to smudging and fading. The compact design of the printer is also a big plus. It fits easily on my desk and doesnt take up much space, which is important in my small office. And, because its a desktop printer, I can take it with me when Im on the go. Overall, I would highly recommend the Vretti Thermal Label Printer to anyone who needs a fast and reliable label printer for their small business. Its easy to use, compact, and produces high-quality labels that are resistant to smudging and fading.

Good

Horrible printer, prints fades, super complicated to install.

I ordered this Thermal label printer to replace my existing label printer that was very slow and on its last leg. Although setup was easy, the software that was supposed to come with the printer was missing. However, the manufacturer did included additional literature with the manual on what website to visit to download the drivers and the e-manual if I wanted to use that instead of the included paper version. After everything was setup, I was able to print thermal labels Much faster than my old printer. I had to fiddle with the settings a bit to get the correct sizing of the 4X6 labels. FYI, this thermal printer will not come with any Free labels. However, since Thermal labels could be expensive, you can go through the UPS website and order free thermal labels for this printer that work well. Youll receive them within a week after placing then order.

UPDATE: I loved this printer and used it several times during the first 6-8 weeks that I had it. I went to use it last weekend, and its dead. It powers up and the LED shows purple which according to the manual means is formatting data and there it sits. Ive reset it, tried multiple cables and ports, deleted the driver, rebooted countless times, etc. I cant reinstall it because Windows no longer recognizes it as USB device when connected. I contacted Vrettis support on March 19, and, five days later, there has been no response. Extremely disappointing. I was looking for a dedicated printer to use for shipping labels via eBay, PirateShip, etc., and found this one. Its not quite fully plug-and-play as it does require a manual driver installation, but thats quick and easy and the driver is on the included thumb drive. It assembles quickly and easily, and feels solid, not necessarily lightweight and cheap. Loading the labels was a little fussy the first time, until I watched the tutorial video on the thumb drive. It wasnt clear how much of the roll to feed through to line it up, so I was convinced that I was going to have to spend a ton of time fussing with it, maybe calibrate it, etc., but it worked absolutely perfectly the first time. (All of my testing used 4x6 labels on a roll.) I like that the roll is entirely enclosed in the body of the printer. The print quality wont match a standard laser or inkjet, but it doesnt have to - text and especially barcodes are crisp and readable. While quality is perfectly adequate, the speed is unbelievable. This is hands down the fastest printer Ive ever had. It shoots out a fully printed label in less than a second. My only minor concern involved the warranty registration - a QR code is included that takes you to the manufacturers site, and prompts you to enter your name, email address, and order number to activate the warranty. My form was rejected and Im unable to register because their system rejected my order number. Not a big deal, but something they should address when they can. This printer adds a really nice level of convenience for anyone who does any amount of shipping from home.

A big improvement over handwriting or single feeding a huge label thru a regular printer. The printer works well, prints clearly and works for all the shippers I use. I like that it is a thermal printer, so there will never be ink to worry about!

We have an in-home Etsy shop that we run on-the-side, so wed always thought about getting a printer to print labels exclusively, so this was an ideal situation, and it works really well. It does jam from time to time, but that could also be the types of labels weve been using. Were not using brand name labels at all - all off-brand, full disclosure - but this has been mostly very good to us. Im not one to complain, especially when Im just giving honest feedback. I also try not to move it around much from where it sits, because I dont want to aggravate it - I feel like once I have it working well, why mess with a good thing? :)

This took me some time to get up and running so I had to phone a friend for help. I didn’t minus a star because I am not good at all with computers, that being said once he hooked it up for me it worked great. I needed this for making labels for some old vases and dishes I’m selling. And this worked perfectly. Once hooked up it is easy to use.

I sometimes have a need to print shipping labels from my home office as opposed to waiting until later in the day when I get to the warehouse. Not wanting to spring for the expense of another Zebra printer for relatively light home office use, this was an appealing alternative...until I started to use it. First, they include a test print page in the box that I cannot get anywhere close to replicating, even after altering and tweaking the appropriate settings. I can’t see any way that test print came from this printer. The labels Im printing are not nearly as full, crisp, dark, etc.; theyre worse in every regard compared to that included test print page. Ive tried printing on two different brands of otherwise good quality thermal labels, so they cant say thats the reason... Second, set-up was slightly cumbersome, although I did finally get it working on my Dell (Windows) laptop after somehow ending up with duplicated installed drivers. Third, the printer itself is noticeably bulkier than the Zebra that Im accustomed to using. Roll insertion is more time consuming, and the overall build quality leaves something to be desired. After only 1 days use, I really have to decide if this is worth it, or if I should just get a refurb Zebra (even of slightly more expensive, even as a refurb...) and have the ease and quality that I can already tell Im not likely to get from this printer. I cant attest to the print speed, since we print labels as orders are packed, 1 at a time...others have said that its super fast for multiple-label printing, so if youre bulk printing, that alone *might* outweigh the cons for you...but for my situation, I wouldnt recommend this printer, personally. 3 stars seems fair here. I feel very neutral about this printer -- I dont necessarily hate it, but Im not even close to loving it either.
