Mini Label Maker - Label Maker Machine Phomemo P12-Pro USB Rechargeable Label Makers, Portable Label Maker with Tape Easy Use for Smart Phone, with 1 Plastic Label Ideal for Home Office Organization (Off-White)Mini Label Maker - Label Maker Machine Phomemo P12-Pro USB Rechargeable Label Makers, Portable Label Maker with Tape Easy Use for Smart Phone, with 1 Plastic Label Ideal for Home Office Organization (Off-White) The labeler comes packaged simply in a white cardboard box with clear shrink wrap. The cover slides off easily, revealing the label maker itself on the top, along with a USB c charge cable. At the bottom of the box is a fold-out booklet with instructions. The labeler does not come with its own charger, so youll have to supply your own phone charger to plug the USB cable into. I plugged the short charging cable into my phone charger, and plug the other end into the label maker. A small green LED blinks quickly when you put it on to charge. Reading through the instructions, it tells you to put the p12 label cassette in first, but in this case, the cassette is already installed in the machine. Upon careful inspection of the label-making tape, I saw that you need to remove the cartridge, pull a tape seal off the tape cartridge, and reinstall it. I noticed when I pulled the sealing tape from the cartridge that the back printing material wanted to separate from the label tape, so you might be careful about that. When I put the cover for the tape cartridge back on, I noticed that the little clear window does line up with the end of the tape so that you can see how much tape is left in the machine. I had pulled a couple of inches out to get past that backing material that was pulling off earlier and it cut cleanly with the built-in cutter on the printer. Next, the instructions send you to Google Play or the app store to download the Printmaster app. If you go directly to the Play store, it shows multiple versions of this app. The instructions give you a QR code to use, so I used that to pinpoint the correct app for this device. Youll want the one that says Printmaster by Quinn LLC and has a little red mushroom logo. Installing. It takes moments, but Im sure that will vary depending on your download speeds. Once you have the app installed on your phone, youll have to register it and create an account, [complete with a password] and they will email a verification code to you that was required before you can use it. The app instructions are pretty straightforward and take you step by step to tell you how to create a label. Youll have to unplug your charging cord before using the printer, as it has to be turned on and have a solid green light before starting. I was a little confused with my first test label because it appeared that nothing had been printed on the label. Then I noticed that the black strip on the back which had been loose before had now adhered to the tape’s backing. The black strip of plastic heat fuses to the label to create your printing. When you peel off the label to use it, you have to peel off the black strip to reveal your label, and then it has the standard horizontal crack and peel backing. The adhesive that comes on the label seems to work well enough. The carbon tape that does the actual printing is a new wrinkle for me. I had not seen this before in a label maker. I hope that the refills for these are not expensive. I read through all of the instructions, and there wasnt a lot of reference to the charging of the device, as to how long it will take for a full charge. Charge. There was a reference in the FAQ, that did mention that you need to charge this for more than 2 and 1/2 hours, so I am presuming thats how long it takes for a full charge. Im going to plug it back in the charge and well check on the unit later. A short time later (about 30 minutes) I checked the printer and the light glowed solid, so I presume thats a full charge. With this device, you dont know how much battery charge you have left until you get a warning for low battery. Having printed several stickers on this now, Im happy with the interface of the program on your phone and the unit, it does print clearly. The part that I dont care for and is a little bit of a pain in the neck is the black carbon that fuses to the label to print it. The black plastic tape just unrolls with your finished label and gives you another piece of mess on your desktop to deal with when youre trying to label things. The crack line on the back of the label tape works fine for removing the backing before sticking your label.

I already have a sticker printer from this brand and was happy to see that I can use the same app for the label maker, because it’s super easy to use. It took me a couple of minutes to read through the instructions, put the label cartridge in and design a quick label through the app, and bam there it was, a sticky label ready to use! Perfect! I so want to try with ribbon too, as this would save me on sewable label costs, so that’s my next step. In the meantime this works great for labeling all my school stuff! Really easy to use, and I love that it comes with three different bark cartridges (black, white, and transparent).

Great printer, totally exceed my expectations, major improvement over old models it’s to be able to print any label size, also the app allows to use a lot of design for frames

Love this little gem. Prints perfectly; small compact size that will fit in your backpack or purse

I bought this label maker a few months ago to label my tools, so far Im happy with it. It works well and Ive had no problems with it.

I already have a dozen or so DYMO and Brother brand label makers, but this little unit fills in a lot of holes in capabilities. Small (about 2 cigarette packs thick & you can hold it in your hand), Bluetooth wireless, inkless, thermal, printer, powered by a rechargeable internal Lithium battery. IOS or Android. Download the Print Master app (for Apple IOS), and use your cell phone or wireless pad as a controller / display. I wanted this one because of the Lithium battery, and a larger, different variety of text fonts, tape colors, tape types (even iron-on), & and unit colors. The widest usable tape is 1/2”, but it can put up to 3 lines of text & icons on it … & a single line of BOLD text almost fills the 1/2” wide tape. It’s small enough to be a great compliment for your cell phone and pad, giving you the capability to take it with you, and create labels on the spot … wherever you are. It’s not the DYMO thick plastic embossed tape label maker, but it uses the thinner tapes, made of plastic, paper, and fabric I’m still playing with it, but so far, all the labels look great, and the adhesive seems to last! The lid is not hinged, and getting the lid off and back on takes a little practice. For the features, the money and the flexibility, it’s a GREAT buy.

I cannot use it. It shuts off even when plugged in.

Very easy to use and the labels turn out nicely. I wish they printed out more than one size, though. I probably could have found one that does that, though at a higher price. For what this cost, it does a great job.

Labels don’t stick to metal, plastic or leather. They just peel off. I have to use clear cellophane tape on top of label to secure it to the back of my iPhone, metal cabinets, etc. Sticks to paper, that’s about it.

Pretty good little label printer. Works perfectly for what I need it for. Several label color options, several fonts and borders within the app, over all very easy to connect and use.
