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’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

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 absolutely love this thing!!!! Not only is the design of it absolutely adorable, but it has unlimited possibilities and I love it. Its very easy to use too. After unpacking everything, I followed the instructions and downloaded the app for it from the Playstore. Then all I had to do was connect it to my phone, which I admit took me a minute, but I figured it out pretty quickly. Once I did that, all I had to do was learn how to design what label I wanted to create and then print it out. The printing is actually very quick I think. And considering all of the options you can use, I am really very impressed with this and the quality of the labels too. As you can see in the picture, I even made one for (Rayann) my daughters 3ds, which she loves. This is perfect for anyone who needs to use or print out a lot of address labels or whatever else they need to label. I really didnt think that I would use it that much, but now that I know all of its capabilities, Ive used it more than I thought I would!! And if you need to buy more rolls of labels, they arent really that expensive, and you can also find them on Vine if you are a member. However, it does come with 3 rolls of labels and I believe that will last you for a minute. All in all, this has got to be the best label maker that Ive ever owned... Of course the last one I owned was the old style that you held in your hand and squeezed the lever to impress the letters onto the tape. Man, do I feel old now!!! Yikes. Anyway, I highly recommend this for anyone because there are so many different things that it can be used for and its really user-friendly.

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 bit of a think for little label printers. I liked that this one could print wider labels, and it’s just plain cute. It works pretty well, print quality is a bit disappointing compared to other thermal label printers I have. My biggest issue is the app. It’s clunky, offers very few fonts with no ability to add your own fonts, and while it has a nice little icon library, there’s no search function or no way to mark favorites. Overall I feel like for the $55 price tag (At time of review) it should be better quality with amore control in the app.

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 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 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.

The first thing to know is the labels are not huge. The ones that come with the label maker are about one inch by an inch and a half. You can see the relative size in the pictures I attached. I used the largest possible font size. It does print black and white graphics pretty well, but not anything in grayscale. Setup was confusing as the instructions do not tell you how to actually pair the device with your phone. It turns out, it pairs automatically when the device is on and you hold down the button until it flashes and you are in the iLabel app with the correct device selected. But it doesn’t pair from iPhone settings. Also it’s a bit fussy about the paper roll and keeps saying it’s out of paper when you tear off the label you’ve printed. So you have to open the label compartment and adjust the roll of labels. Even with these drawbacks I like the label maker, with its sleek retro design, very much.
