HotLabel Thermal Printer, Shipping Label Printer with 100 Labels

I did a lot of research about label printers, especially which ones used generic labels to save money instead of branded only ones, as ongoing costs was my main concern. I'm pleased to say this printer is superb, takes rolls and I can print a label for between 1-2p each. I use mine for shipping labels for Etsy and Royal Mail, and this is perfect 4x6 prints. It's insanely fast printing, and the set up was easy (on Mac) , clear instructions and was working within 10 mins. So pleased I bought this, it'll save so much time packing up orders for my business.

I have a Dymo 450 and this is my first 4x6in printer. Installation is super easy and fast. Drivers and software come on two high quality memory sticks. The editing software looks pretty good to me, although I created specific Actions in Photoshop for my label printing needs. Friendly price and very fast printing. I'm using accordion type labels, because it was something I had in stock, but I'll start buying roll labels and it will be even more compact. Although this printer is not intended for printing images, I tried to print something, logically using the halftone technique, otherwise you will never have this result. The print is very interesting and it is only noticeable that the print head increase temperature along the first centimetre of the print. But this is not noticeable when printing labels, the true purpose of this printer. Very happy.

The printer is amazing and really good value for money. I buy and sell a lot on EBay and it has made the whole label printing process so easy. I also bought a stand for the labels as it makes it so much easier to load the machine and especially if you are printing a large quantity of labels. I have not had any problem with this printer whatsoever and would highly recommend it. The labels are clear and the print is exceptional quality. I bought the printer a while back as I don’t like to leave reviews until I am very happy with the product and completely satisfied it lives up to the reviews and this printer certainly does. So a definite 5 stars from me

Bought this to replace an old Toshiba Tec label printer. I must say it has some good features such as automatic label size recognition. The spool reel also takes narrow and wide tubes so can take the 250 and 500 label rolls, it also has the ability to feed labels into it from outside if required. Had this for 4 months now with no issues so very pleased. Only one negative is that if you turn it off at the mains when you turn it on it feeds two labels out and only pulls one back in so you lose a label everytime.

Love this printer… Not keen on the lack of software to create your own labels, would get 5 or more stars if it did not need 3rd party software to print. I had to create a label in PowerPoint, it’s ok if you are computer literate if not may be a struggle.

This is a brilliant printer. Very easy to set up and use. The drivers come on a usb stick which is handy if you don't have a cd drive. So far I have been very impressed. The print quality is excellent and the holder looks big enough to contain a full roll of 500 labels. The printer comes with a roll of 100 free labels so you can start using it straight away. I bought this to use as a postage printer for my ebay sales. It prints the labels nice and clearly and the barcodes were easy to scan. It took me about 15 minutes to set this up. the instruction booklet is clear and concise written in good English plus there is a helpline and videos if you get stuck. The instructions are easy to follow though so you probably won't need much help. Would definitely recommend this.

Great printer working but i need to get help with setting the paper size if anyone can help thanks

I originally had issues and lots of errors, formatted PC then it worked first time no issues. It seems bad windows updates can cause issues with the drivers. If you get errors after installing printer+drivers then you can do as i did or systematically uninstall windows updates until yuo find the culprit. Will be keeping a close eye on what updates get installed and when/if it breaks the printer. Otherwise very good! Sending 5-15 packages a day this is not only alot faster but very fun! More fun than writing them by hand. Worked out each label is costing around 2-3pence each (if bought in rolls of 500) or 1-2pence each (if bought in rolls of 1000). Also great for printing out black and white pictures for kids to cut out and color in.

Bought this as a refurbished unit,but I swear it was a new one. Works great but a little noisy. Not a big deal. Would buy again.

Hands down this is exactly what I was looking for. It was inexpensive and quality. It takes both rolls and folds and protects the rolls from “spoiling” inside, unlike some of those others that hold the labels in a cheap plastic carrier behind it. Came with a flash drive with the drivers for Mac, PC, and Linux, (which was a nice surprise because I can plug it into my linux server and use it remotely). The flash drive also had support docs and installation videos, plus it also includes a nice little USB-C adaptor as well. On top of all that the roll of 100 test labels was the icing on the cake. You can really tell they wanted to make an inexpensive version of the $350+ printers from Brother/Dymo/Zebra. If you had a small business or are just looking to print postage at home this is a huge win.

Ive had this label printer since 2021 and it works like a charm. I suggest using the labels that come on a roll not the flat stacked ones - they always get jammed and I end up wasting 2 or 3 labels when that happens; could be Im doing something wrong. The machine is easy to use. It is corded, not wireless. I use this mainly to print from ebay and that integrates seamlessly. Poshmark is a different story since their labels come out as a pdf so it requires a few more steps which is a PITA. I've also used this machine to print from Pirate Ship and it works great. Nice to have little laser printer - definitely saves lots of time being able to print shipping labels from home instead of standing in line at the post office.

Printer arrived on time and I had it set up and printing a label in under 20 min ! For me that’s a record . Simple to use and I have just finished tagging hundreds of items with no complaints . I purchased the 1.25 x 2.25 Avery style mailing labels I use as merchandise tagging . Worked perfect . It prints fast!

It was time to get away from using full sheet 1/2 labels in my printers as the backing sheets in labels you get these days are too slippery when printing a sheet when one label had been used earlier. Lots of frustrating paper jams regardless of the brand printer I was using. This printer comes with a complementary roll of labels which was a good sales inducement. Setup on my Mac system was easy although the print drivers have to be user installed unlike many standard printers. You have to do a few test prints before you get the alignment and image darkness right. Factory default image settings are too light in my opinion but once you get it, save it as a preset and you are good to go. The printer works great with eBay, PayPal and Amazon although with Amazon on a Mac you might to use the system print dialog option as the Amazon print default is too light in my opinion. Unfortunately Endicia doesn’t support any independent thermal label printer at this time. Drawbacks? Aside from a couple of mysterious half prints that occurred a few months ago, the biggest issue is the complementary label roll that came with the printer. While the labels themselves are fine, the backing paper is thin and not properly serrated between the labels. So I have to be very careful removing a printed label otherwise the backing tears up towards the blank label exposing adhesive which inevitably sticks on the inside while printing ruining the next label. Then I have to reload the labels as it’s pushed out of the track by the jam. If I had a larger shipping load per month, maybe I would look into a more expensive thermal printing machine but so far it’s been doing it’s job well.
