YVF Bluetooth Thermal Shipping Label Printer, 4x6 Label Printer for Shipping Packages & Small Business, Wireless Label Printer Support with iPad iPhone and Android, Work for Amazon Etsy USPS UPS

Comes with everything to start printing labels and a variety of options to connect to a computer or phone. The labels come out very nice. It is very easy to setup and it takes no time at all. The app has bad reviews, but it has worked perfectly for me. So far everything is beyond what I expected. The only issue I’ve noticed thus far is if there isn’t more paper to feed into the printer, it won’t print properly.

This bluetooth thermal shipping label printer works okay but I am not a fan of how the labels feed into the printer. Regardless this does help me process a lot of order. I can have them ready for shipping quickly. You save a ton of time so you are not having to waste it on printing out the label, cutting it and taping it on. It is something you move easily with you to make packing easier. For the most part, it is easy to use once you have it setup. The labels prints quickly but it does jam or misaligned from time to time and I have to reset it. The shipping company is able to scan them no problem so the barcode is easy to scan which is great. If you are doing a bunch of sale and shipping, this is a good thing to have. It relies on thermal printing so you do not have to worry about ink but you need to have the right label to get this to work. It also can print out a receipts as well which is nice for when I need to also provide a shipping receipt inside the box. It pairs with your phone and you can send labels directly from you phone. You do have to download the application to get this printer to work so you are stuck with that. The application for the most part is okay but sometimes does not send the label to the printer and I have to reset it. It works with most labels but I have had a few issues with jams or alignment. It is not battery powered so be aware of that. It boots up and pairs pretty quickly and is ready to go in a short amount of time. You can also connect this with your laptop but I found it is very convenient with you phone. I definitely save on time and material going this route. It prints labels very quickly. I can print out a label and stick it on a package in just a few seconds. Its very easy to use. I can just connect it to my computer or phone and start printing labels. I did not really like the holder though. It is not one of those roll holders so it actually stick out the other end. It is just at an awkward angle so it gets jammed a bit easier. Overall, this has been an okay printer but definitely not the best. It does the job for what I need so I would say this one is good if you have some labels to print but not high volume as it does get jammed and you have to reset it. It does do that resizing for you to make sure it fits on the label which is great. It prints out the labels a decent speed so I can get more packages labeled and ready to go. I do wish it just had a better way of storing and feeding the label though.

Product Packaging: comes in a retail box, all accessories individually wrapped, usb cable and dongles, usb stick with drivers and video instructions. Product Experience: I was hesitant to install drivers from a usb, but after scanning the drive, the files were safe. The android app was easy to use and quick to connect to the printer via bluetooth. Setting this up with windows using bluetooth was a bit tricky as the instructions were designed for windows 7/10. After installation, the printing was straight forward similar to my older zebra printer that failed. The quality was very clear and thermal ink resists most rubbing alcohol tests. I had hoped that the label tray was somehow connected to the printer to take less space, but it worked with a bit of extra desk space. Pro: Product, once properly configured Con: Bluetooth windows setup, external label tray Overall: Recommended, especially for wireless printing.

The included installation instructions make it much more difficult than it should be to install this on a Windows computer. It states you must hardwire it first and install the USB drivers. I found this not to be the case. All I had to do was search for Bluetooth devices and it was found and installed. It does show an error that states there is not a driver available for this device but it still works. I got this error regardless of installing the USB driver first or not and its only visible in the printer settings area. Once Bluetooth is paired it prints perfectly. Now the app for Android is another story. I simply cannot get it to find the printer and apparently Im not the only one. Hopefully there is an update to the app that allows it to find the printer. I can pair it directly to my phone, but it still is not recognized in the app. This makes printing from your phone useless. Update: I was able to get the app working with help from customer service. Appreciative of the support.

This is my 2nd Thermal Label printer. But... it is by far my favorite. This is a 100% standalone unit. Its sad that I have to point that out. But my other Thermal Label printer only works with the MFG app, and you have to sign up for an account on their cloud server in order to use their printer. As far as I can tell, this unit does not require anything thats not included in the box... with the exception of additional labels. I didnt even have to go to the MFG web site to download the drivers. There is a little USB drive in the box with all the drivers I needed for Windows. Installation was easy. There were parts of the instructions that werent completely clear. Its not obvious that you need the drivers from the USB drive. In the package contents, its referred to as a U-Drive. The instructions then later say to copy the drivers from the U-disk. But thats being a bit picky. That was the only part of the installation that caused me any issue -- knowing where to find the drivers. Integration with Windows is almost 100% perfect. The first labels I wanted to print on are 2.25x1.25. When I installed these and printed a Test page, the word Test straddle the gap between two consecutive labels. I assumed that meant that the print driver didnt understand the label size, or had advanced the roll of labels beyond the perforation. After a few failed attempts, I tried just printing a label that was filled top to bottom and left to right with text. The label printed perfectly. So, Im guessing theres an issue with Windows Test Page software. My other label printer required the roll of labels to be inside the printer. My roll is too big to fit inside, so I was having to cut the amount of labels I wanted to print. This printer has external label holder. I wasnt actually expecting to get an external label holder. The external label holder is awesome and certainly keeps the roll of labels organized. The software thats available from the MFGs website (ShipPrinter) is a bit weak. You can add a barcode to a label, but you cant actually modify the contents of the barcode. Fortunately, I dont need to use the application. The Android app is just as lame. Again, you can enter a barcode, but you have to type the contents. Theres no way to import the contents of a spreadsheet into a label. That makes the application almost useless.

Initial setup was not the easiest (not the best instructions), but once set up its a decently little printer. You can use an app to print any PDFs like pdf shipping labels. The print quality is more than acceptable and since its thermal, you dont have to worry about ink or toner. Over all Im pretty happy with it!

I view this as a must have for a business owner. For a regular consumer, its a nice to have for returning orders, or sending out occasional packages. Some quick points: - Solid construction, well built - Compact, small footprint - Usable with multiple sources (computer/phone) - Bluetooth enabled I was surprised that wired connectivity is via old-school usb a, not micro usb or usb c (or even mini usb). This seems to be a bit dated. There are a few limitations (pdf only format, optimized for 4x6 labels), but its useful and nice to have for most users.

This label printer is fast and generates a solid quality print with even darkness throughout. Everything you can need is included, including the drivers on a USB stick, the USB cable, and even a USB-C to USB-A adapter, which is nice. Installation of the drivers is quick and easy, though the docs leave something to be desired. The screenshots from the drivers are completely different, which makes finding some of the noted configuration settings difficult. Also, there is a page in the manual that shows how to load the labels -- the first picture shows them loaded with the feed button on the left, and the next two pictures show the feed button on the right. Confusing, but majority rules! I am not intending to leave this unit out all the time, but rather pull it out when I need it. The problem I have seen, though, is that it wants to feed out TWO labels (to find the end of the sheet) every time I load the label roll. I am hopeful that this wont be a constant problem, but perhaps something I am just doing wrong, otherwise Ill burn through a lot of labels that way.

This little printer is so awesome. It connects via Bluetooth so I was able to print whatever I wanted on a label via my phone. The set up was super easy and the printing quality is perfection. If I had the need I would buy 5 more. I love this little thing. Everything gets a label now!

Ive been thinking about getting a thermal label printer for a while now. I have an online USPS shipping account, and Ive been printing my mailing labels using regular printer paper, then have to cut and tape them to the package. Now that I have my new YVF Thermal Label Printer, I no longer have to do all of that. I simply print the label out, then peel off the backing and slap in on the priority mailing boxes and Im done. The YVF Thermal Label Printer can be used with a regular computer through a USB printer cable or use it with your cell phone through a Bluetooth connection. Im running a newer model PC tower with Windows 11 Professional installed, and the printer works just fine with it. Setup wasnt difficult at all. With this printer, you have the option to use labels that come on flat sheets, like the ones that came with the thermal printer, of you can use the labels that come in rolls. The stand to hold either type comes with the printer. Right out of the box, theres nothing more you need to buy until you run out of shipping labels as the thermal printer comes with 100 flat sheet labels. Best of all, since its a thermal printer, theres no ink or laser cartridges that will have to be replaced.
