Horrible printer, prints fades, super complicated to install.

Im surprised reading other reviews on this label printer. I found set up of the machine very easy, to the point I didnt need instructions. I purchased a roll of 4x6 shipping labels separately and was able to load them with ease. I feel the printer does a nice job of holding the roll in place as well as feeding the labels through smoothly. I agree with another reviewer that the quality of print could be greater but overall Im happy with the device and find its quite user friendly.

UPDATE: I loved this printer and used it several times during the first 6-8 weeks that I had it. I went to use it last weekend, and its dead. It powers up and the LED shows purple which according to the manual means is formatting data and there it sits. Ive reset it, tried multiple cables and ports, deleted the driver, rebooted countless times, etc. I cant reinstall it because Windows no longer recognizes it as USB device when connected. I contacted Vrettis support on March 19, and, five days later, there has been no response. Extremely disappointing. I was looking for a dedicated printer to use for shipping labels via eBay, PirateShip, etc., and found this one. Its not quite fully plug-and-play as it does require a manual driver installation, but thats quick and easy and the driver is on the included thumb drive. It assembles quickly and easily, and feels solid, not necessarily lightweight and cheap. Loading the labels was a little fussy the first time, until I watched the tutorial video on the thumb drive. It wasnt clear how much of the roll to feed through to line it up, so I was convinced that I was going to have to spend a ton of time fussing with it, maybe calibrate it, etc., but it worked absolutely perfectly the first time. (All of my testing used 4x6 labels on a roll.) I like that the roll is entirely enclosed in the body of the printer. The print quality wont match a standard laser or inkjet, but it doesnt have to - text and especially barcodes are crisp and readable. While quality is perfectly adequate, the speed is unbelievable. This is hands down the fastest printer Ive ever had. It shoots out a fully printed label in less than a second. My only minor concern involved the warranty registration - a QR code is included that takes you to the manufacturers site, and prompts you to enter your name, email address, and order number to activate the warranty. My form was rejected and Im unable to register because their system rejected my order number. Not a big deal, but something they should address when they can. This printer adds a really nice level of convenience for anyone who does any amount of shipping from home.

The first thing to know about this label printer is that it doesnt come with any trial labels - be sure to buy some in addition to this! There are many available on Amazon and Im using 4x6 labels. INITIAL SETUP This was relatively easy to setup. It comes with a nice flash drive with the drivers and manual on it, so you dont have to search online for it. Install on our Windows 11 machine went smoothly and there were no problems with our machine locating the printer. The 4x6 label roll that we purchased was easily placed into the hopper and the machine automatically aligned itself (it wasted 2 labels doing so, but labels arent expensive). INITIAL USE Theres a bit of trial and error to get the print size right. My first label had the label off center and the print was way too big for the label (or the label was too small, depending on how you look at it). I double-checked the label dimensions and made sure the printer options matched the label, and they did. Without taking you through everything I tried, my tip is to simply select 4x6 as your label size and then print at 90%. When I did that, it was perfect. IMPRESSIONS The label is LIGHTNING fast. Ive never seen such a fast printer. ZZTT, done. The quality seems higher than our home printer that I have been using for shipping labels (using default quality settings). I dont see dithering, smudging, etc. The darkness is spot on. The stickiness of the labels seems pretty good. TBH, Id give this 4.5 stars for the small alignment issues that caused some initial headaches, but Im rounding up because Im very pleased with the print quality and performance. I hope it stands the test of time.

I recently purchased the Vretti Thermal Label Printer for my small business and Im very impressed with its performance. The printer is fast and produces high-quality labels for shipping packages. What I love most about this printer is how easy it is to use. I can quickly and easily print the labels I need for my packages, without having to worry about messy ink cartridges or toners. The thermal printing technology means that the labels are resistant to smudging and fading. The compact design of the printer is also a big plus. It fits easily on my desk and doesnt take up much space, which is important in my small office. And, because its a desktop printer, I can take it with me when Im on the go. Overall, I would highly recommend the Vretti Thermal Label Printer to anyone who needs a fast and reliable label printer for their small business. Its easy to use, compact, and produces high-quality labels that are resistant to smudging and fading.

This is just what I needed. Helped to print the shipping label directly instead print on the plain paper and tape it on to the package. The print quality is OK, it depends on the label you used. Overall happy with it.

Well unfortunately my laptop is a Chromebook so it was not compatible to use this shipping label printer

This took me some time to get up and running so I had to phone a friend for help. I didn’t minus a star because I am not good at all with computers, that being said once he hooked it up for me it worked great. I needed this for making labels for some old vases and dishes I’m selling. And this worked perfectly. Once hooked up it is easy to use.

I have a tech guy at home so I can say it was easy for me to set up. Works as expected and makes shipping items easier.

I got this thermal label printer to test and review. I purchased a roll of thermal print label to use to test it. However, I have yet been able to figure the printer out. I hooked it up via the included USB cable to my computer which runs Windows 11. But not much is happening cause NO driver or software is included with the printer. So unless you have some experience and knowledge of this type of thing you are not able to plug-n-play with this setup. I will update this review if I figure out how to get this working properly. As is I can only give this a 3 Star under the assumption the product actually works - but unknown at this time.
