Rollo Label Printer – Commercial Grade Direct Thermal High Speed Printer – Compatible

I was a little skeptical at first while shopping for a printer since this seems to be a new brand and the dymo has so many more reviews. But we decided to go with this one and we’re very happy. The fact that you can use almost any size label with it is what sold us. Also, if we start using ups, we can get free labels. We’ve had it for 3 weeks and have had one, minor, correctable issue. The only downside i see is that you should probably get the label roll holder with it (or it should be offered on amazon). We did see a minor issue with the labels not coming out clear every now and then, but it was only a short, horizontal section of the label (about as wide as the person’s name), but the rest of the label was perfect. At first, i thought it was the printer performing poorly, or it being dirty, but it didn’t make sense that just one strip was bad and then the rest was good. I believe the issue is with not having the label holder and having the roll just sit behind the printer and roll as it’s pulled through the machine.

Bought to print postage labels for e-bay sales. After less than twenty minutes out of the box, everything was set up and working. – huge savings on effort and time compared to printing on normal paper, cutting out the label, and taping to a box. – comes with a usb cable, and a small ‘starter’ packet of 4′ x 6′ self adhesive labels. – website is nice with plenty of info and various how-to’s (e-bay, amazon, etc. ) – doesn’t use proprietary labels. Cons: – there’s a surprising oversight on the website, although it lists possible fixes for problems, it doesn’t go into detail on how exactly to implement the fixes. To make the print-out darker, they suggest slowing down the print speed and increasing the print density in printer preferences ->settings, but they don’t tell you if the numbers should be higher or lower. Through trial and error i figured out the lower the number the slower the print speed (the ‘correct speed’ for me appears to be 3 ). I’m still playing around with the density settings, but so far 6-8, prints out nice dark labels with no white spots. Bottom line:there’s really only four options for dedicated 4’x6′ label printers. The brother and dymo both appear to have reliability issues, and the zebra is too expensive (at least for what we’re doing).

I am not compensated by any means for this review. Honestly, this is how i feel and strangely enough i invested this much time into writing a review that doesn’t benefit me. So i researched thermal printers online for a long time and i am happy i bought this printer. I was originally going to get the dymo label printer, but after reading the countless horror stories i opted for a safer option than the ‘mainstream printer. ‘ (dodged that bullet) **this is probably one of the best purchases i have made this entire year. The printer is super easy to use and isn’t any hassle at all. It prints beautifully with all the barcodes and words coming out crisp and clear. (adjust printing density and speed until perfect in printing preferences) with small lettering and fonts, you will see some pixelation. However, i have only had this awesome printer for only a week or so, so there is probably some way to fix it (haven’t discovered it yet). As a small business owner, i only have seconds to adjust printer settings or make changes, and this printer makes it sooooooo easy.

It sets up relatively easily, but does require a bit of configuring. Once done it’s good to go and it prints quickly and easily. For me this means no more frustration with full sheet labels in my laser printer where i have to cross my fingers in hopes that it will feed correctly and not jam (a real pita). It doesn’t work for paypal international labels with customs form on them. Not rollo’s fault but paypal international doesn’t play well with thermal printers and 4×6 labels. Rollo has a fix where you save the label as pdf and then open in acrobat and fiddle with it to print, but the whole reason i bought the rollo was for speed and simplicity. Rollo told me about peninsula thermal printer drivers. I tested the demo and bought it immediately. Yeah, the driver was almost a hundred bucks but it works.

First off when choosing a printer i narrowed it down to the rollo or the competitor dymo. Then i read the reviews and decided on rollo for three reasons. Ease of setup, customer care and print speed. Rollo delivers on all three. First ease of set up was important to me as i’m not a computer person by any means. The printer arrived as scheduled. I simply plugged it in, went to their website, watched their short video and had it up and working in a matter of minutes. My only issue was i had an adjustment modification i needed for ebay and being unfamiliar with a mac that i inherited (lifetime windows user) decided to contact customer support to save some time. Soon after i sent the email i received a call from kevin at rollo, and within minutes the issue was resolved. But this is where the story gets good.
