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)

Once I figured out how to work this guy, I was so excited! It actually PRINTS the QR code for the app, which is pretty cute. Its a little guy, you can put it in your purse or backpack. I checked on the tape, its a pretty standard size and you can get all different varieties of labels for it. The app is pretty simple and has some nice features. Id say its a good buy!

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 have a galaxy and the app works great. I like it I got this to use on the bullet planner I do. They are very small sticker labels. I can screenshot a picture and add it to the app and it prints out. The sticker size is smaller than I expected but that is not much of an issue for me. I can see people who ship packages or letter use this as a personalized sealing stamp thing. My sister liked it too and shes not much of an arts and crafts person.

I love the look of this label maker and wanted to love it. It prints everything, but poorly. I had no issue pairing the unit, but printing is clunky. It doesnt seem to do a good job of centering and fitting the space properly even when centered. I was so excited for the photos and maybe I was expecting too much from this printer, but theyre pretty awful and again difficult to center and fill the space. When I say awful no one was able to tell what I even printed. This comes with extra paper, but I swear its because youll use all of the rolls just trying to get one label right. Maybe this is user error, but I tried everything I could and Im usually fairly tech savvy.

This is a 3 Star Review: How I determine a rating for my reviews ***** (5) Stars = I LOVE this item. This item arrived just as described in the listing. All items were in the package, and it worked as the listing is stated with all working parts and fit the description perfectly. The instructions were on par and I would rate the item A+++ **** (4) Stars = The items arrived almost as described but maybe didnt include an item that doesnt affect the way the items works or its appearance. Its a little off from the website description. Maybe the color is off or not exact or directions arent perfect. *** (3) Stars - The item is not quite what was described and may vary in the color, style, or description of the item which may cause the item to function different than what was described in the listing. It may or may not work as I had intended; parts are missing or directions arent complete. I would likely keep the item but may not re-order in the future. ** (2) Stars - The item is somewhat similar to the item described in the listing however it does not function or act like the items listing and/or major parts are missing or not functioning properly. Instructions may be missing or confusing to the point that makes the item unusable. I would most likely not keep the item or re-order this item in the future. * (1) Star - The item is nothing like the description or is not the item ordered. The item does not function or act like the item that was listed, and I would never re-order the item. This item is a complete waste of my time.

I have another label maker but wanted to try this one to make address labels. This label maker has individual square labels that come with it. You can also use a “roll” with round labels. What I realize is that if a word is long the size of the font has to be reduced to fit across the label. My other label maker can print labels horizontally for as long a label as you’d like and not have to make the font smaller. This is good to use on an envelope but to make labels for containers I’d want something more visible.

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.

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.

I like the design and portability of this printer. The labels are small (40mm x 30mm), but that is what I wanted for labeling small items. The Bluetooth pairing is for using a cellphone with their app after installing it. I find it hard enough to text on a cell phone, let alone creating a label on one. I would hope they design a label app to be installed on a Windows desktop PC. A cellphone app is harder to use since the texting feature isnt as capable as a PC keyboard. One issue is that the labels can become misaligned in the printer, and it is supposed to be corrected by using the universal button on the printer. But I wound up recreating the label after turning the mini printer off then back on. Given the portability and Bluetooth connectivity, this printer is a good idea but falls short in usability. The setup is easy, but it takes some practice learning to use the app to create labels. I would rate this ⭐⭐⭐ stars due to difficulties using the application and alignment challenges.

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
