While the width of each label is limited to one inch, this is more than enough for use around the kitchen, labeling toy bins, or office file folders. It’s fun and easy to use, so you might find yourself constantly on the lookout for more things to label! You’ve got a huge array of options to put on your labels, with 14 fonts, 600 symbols, and 99 frames to play with. You can also save up to 99 of your creations on the printer’s internal memory, allowing for quick and easy reprints. An internal label roll keeps printing chugging along quickly, and we like that the printer’s compact square size means it will easily fit into just about any workspace or office. It’s also built tough, a dense machine that feels worth its weight. Although it’s undeniably an expensive printer, you’ll save on toner and ink, thanks to its thermal printing capabilities. If your budget allows, consider the Zebra ZP505 for fast and reliable printing, especially if you do a lot of business via FedEx. Connect to the printer via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Bluetooth, giving plenty of options to pair your laptop to the device. Although the printer isn’t battery-powered and needs to be connected to a power source, the multiple connectivity options mean having to keep your printer plugged in shouldn’t be a problem. Although a little more expensive than some of its competitors, the reliability, high-quality results, and multiple connectivity options make the QL-1110NWB one of the best options. If your business is shipping in mass amounts, the ROLLO software is compatible with UPS, USPS, and FedEx shipping, meaning your labels will be good to go with any of the major courier and postage companies. The ROLLO is a thermal printer, so you’ll save by not needing to purchase ink or toner. It can be used with any thermal labels, so you’re not locked into a specific brand. It’s one of the best label printers available for high-volume shipping, but consider the additional purchase of a label tray to feed into the machine, as unfortunately this isn’t included. Paired with the DYMO Stamps software, you can create USPS-approved postage, or design and save custom templates to save time for future print jobs. The labels, at a DPI of 600x300, are bold, crisp, and print consistently to a high standard. Although the addition of battery power would be useful, the printer comes with both a power cable and a USB cable. This easy to use, handheld label printer has a strong exterior casing, complete with rubber bumper guards and a bright yellow color that makes it easy to find in a crowded space. Create labels straight from the device, which has an A-Z keyboard (which takes some getting used to, compared to the traditional QWERTY style), and over 100 built-in symbols, perfect for labeling things like wires, hardware, or electronic cabling. While labels are limited to a maximum of four lines per label, this should still be enough for most print jobs. At only ½” in width, you are limited in the size of your label creations, but this is well suited for smaller jobs, like labeling A4 folders or the kitchen spice racks. Its simplicity means it is also easy for kids to use and enjoy. Overall, this is by far the best label printer within its price range, and it’s a reliable and easy to use printer from the well-known Brother brand.
