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 had high hopes for this, I was able to get it connected via Bluetooth on my Samsung S10. But the app never was able to connect to it. Hard to know exactly where the problem is, either the app or the Bluetooth connection. The instructions leave a lot to be desired. I will keep trying and edit.

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.

So I just got this yesterday, and I love it! It is super stylish! Way easy to learn to use it and way easy to use! Pairs so easily to your phone or your laptop! Oh and I didnt know this when I ordered it, but it comes with 1 roll of labels in the printer already, and 3 more large rolls in the package for you! It also comes with a new Type C Charger and a basic user manual to tell you how to connect it to your devices, has FAQs in there for you in case you get stuck, a qr code in the pamphlet for easy app installation and bluetooth pairing. I mean its perfect!!! Oh I did want to mention for anyone who might want to know this! It does only print in black & white! Thats the only thing I would change about it if I could!

This LetSketch thermal label printer looks like an old red cash register. It’s something that people would comment positively on when they see it sitting on your desk. Once you explain what it is and what it can do, they’ll be even more impressed. This printer can use a wide variety of thermal printing labels, of differing widths (12 mm to 52 mm), lengths (I saw labels of 70 mm long, but you can print continuous labels as well which means no effective limit), and styles (pre-printed ones, transparent ones, even ones that allow you to print in color <though only one color per label>). The printer comes with four rolls of 40 x 30 mm tapes to use (with a lot of labels on each tape). The labels themselves are long-lasting, waterproof, oil resistant, wipeable, tear-resistant, self-adhesive, abrasion resistant and BPA free. It connects using Bluetooth and charges using a USB C cable. Whew! All good things to have! The printed directions have tiny print (I’m sure it wouldn’t have been as “tiny” forty years ago, but my eyes are a bit picky now-a-days!). Though tiny, they are clear as I was able to understand them, download the free app (iLabel from either Google Play or the Apple Store), load the paper and print out some labels in short order. Amazingly enough, I didn’t have to worry about getting the blank labels in the correct position—the printer does that automatically! This printer doesn’t just print text. It can print your photos, emojis, bar codes, just about anything you’d want to print. I’m mostly interested in labeling foods (is that corn starch or confectionery sugar in that jar?) and on shelving down in the basement, but you can use this printer in retail settings as well. About the only negative thing I could say about this was that when I first printed some labels, I used a very small font and some of the vertical strokes of the letters weren’t printed too clearly (though they could still be made out). Later when I was printing larger text, I didn’t notice this. I’m not sure if it was just because the printer wasn’t warmed up (thermal printers use heat to chemically change the labels to make the printing) or for some other reason. Since it didn’t seem to matter much, I haven’t checked back on it. That’s not much of a negative in my mind, certainly not enough to deduct a star from this review. I received this label printer for free in exchange for an honest review: good, bad, or indifferent. You’ve just read the honest review and here’s my recommendation. If you need a label printer that can print narrow to wide labels, of whatever length, then this is an excellent printer for you!

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.

This label maker is very handy to have. It thermal prints - so no ink to replace ever. The directions provided are minimal but with some exploring while making labels, its easy to find where to change fonts, font size, make font bold (or underline or italic)... The app is necessary to use this because the app is where the labels are created and the print command is given.

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.

This little printer is the cutest thing. I wanted to use it for planner projects. I purchased it because it said for used with iOS. It did not or could not pair with my iPhone. I finally dug out my Samsung tablet and it was able to pair and connect. This will make it inconvenient to me since my intention was to create stickers on the fly and put them in my planner. The app is simple. It allows you to make text and there are graphics in there that you can use. It is black and white as thermal printers are only black and white. You need to select photos carefully because not all photos will print accurately.

I’m excited the label maker is easy to get started and comes with 3 roles of label tape. It’s so useful turning my files from hand written to nice and neat. So many uses : spice and canning jars, craft boxes and in garage to label boxes of nails and screws with name and sizes
