LABELWORKS Epson LW-C410PX Portable Bluetooth Label Machine Printer for Home and Office – Efficient, Create Sticker Labels for Crafts and Organization, Designer Tape Supported, App Compatible

Love this label maker. The flexibility offer through the app gives you a great deal of control. It works way more like a printer than a label maker. Having to do a Bluetooth connection before each use might be problematic for some. Others might find the print interface having too many menus and features. But for this IT guy it’s the label maker I always wished for.

Using this to print QR codes and names for devices while I am on the go at different sites. The software on your phone is the perk here because it utilizes Bluetooth printing and is very easy to use. I like that it runs off of battery power so I can replace batteries real quick if I need to and won't have to wait on it to charge. It also has a lifetime warranty if you go online and fill out the form.

I bought the Brother P-220 with the full QWERTY keyboard thinking it'd be easier than an app based system like the Epson LW- C410 that I'm reviewing here. Wrong. There's a lot of little things to know about the Brother machine that would force me to memorize a lot of its functions if I wanted ease of use, and it's non-backlit display doesn't show 2 lines, another complication I don't want to deal with. > Not a problem with the Epson, it's like any well-written app for print design, easy to use, very graphical, and in minutes I was up to speed. The Bluetooth connection was super easy as well. I felt compelled to write this review because I'm ASTONISHED that Epson would make a label whose backing is a chore to remove. I figure that the OEM of a product like their tape cartridges are going to give you the best experience and best possible quality. WRONG. 1. There is no split backing for the labels, pelling off the backing of each one is painstaking and time-consuming. 2. The adhesive was about 1/2 to 1/3 as much as I would expect from a quality label. Having worked in construction I know how sticky tape can get, and this one is pathetic. I'm putting clear scotch tape over each one. In the short time I've used the Epson, I'd give it a 5/5. The low print quality is notifceably pixelated with some fonts, all the more so when you're dealing with 1/2 tape using 2 lines. But that's a price/product thing, they've provided a quality printer and app for a reasonable price and this is what you get. I'm actually willing to spend a little more than 1/2 again as much to upgrade to their LW-C610, which has twice the print resolution. You get what you pay for, I'm glad they give the choice of being economical with this unit. It looks like they haven't solved the problem with excess tape wastage- my understanding is that that extra 1/2" that's wasted is a function of the tape needing to clear the label housing after it hits the print head. They do you the courtesy of cutting it off so you're left with a label that is cut evenly on both sides of the label. So: Label maker: 4/5 Labels: 2/5 I deduct a point for the quality of the labels, and the fact that with this unit or the LW-C610, there are very few labels available from 3d parties that are larger than 1/2". Even 3/4" is scarce, so you'd be forced to buy Epson tapes, at 4 times the cost if you wanted to use it in larger widths.

Excelente. Solo que es de baterías y no se nota eso tan fácil en la publicidad (no es un problema)

I use the Brady handled one on a daily basis. Bought this one for home. Works just as fast. Margins are much tighter so much less waste. Like the auto cut feature and the ability to turn it off. Having the app makes it super easy to print multiple. Did not realize it came with one roll of black on white 1/2 PX tape. This was a nice surprise!

I hate it. Can't return by 7 days. Randomly decides to connect or not. Not worth the hassle. Works well when connected. Also, bizarrely, doesn't plug in? - awful choice. Awful garbage. Just checking back in a year later to note how much I hate this absolute garbage of a device. I don't use a label maker enough to be worth going to buy a new one yet but holy cow if I had to use this every day it'd be thrown in the woods by now. It just disconnects mid project. I look through my files for a second, get ready to print a label and find that it's no longer connected (an error that appears when you go to print a label mind you) I need to ( in order, using Android ) QUIT the app, go to Bluetooth settings and forget the device, turn OFF the machine (careful not to just put it to sleep), turn back on the machine and ensure that it is in pairing mode (light pulsing), turn back on the app, connect to printer, wait for popup from android that asks if I give permission to connect (because I had to forget it every time), then select the printer once available in dropdown, wait, then continue printing labels. Writing this all out I'm astounded that I'm too anal to just hand write my labels. There IS something wrong with me to be sure but there is definitely also a LOT wrong with this device's software or hardware or both.

This is the best. Easy to use, easy app, for Bluetooth, for use on laptop, phone, tablet. Tapes have "FEET" of length print out and text are fabulous.

I got this thinking it'd be an upgrade over my old P-touch. In some ways it is. The Good: I simply enter the text on the computer screen using my computer qwerty keyboard and hit the print button. Easy. The Bad: My old P-touch is something like 20 years old but he software on this new thing here is actually dumber than my P-touch. If my font selections and tape I'm using would lead to text going over the edge or looking funny the old P-touch would give me a warning, and prevent the print from going through so I can make the needed adjustments and THEN print. No such luck with this thing. It just goes ahead and prints your overly large font and you get a thing you cannot use. OK, user error right? Fine. But geez you'd think that's easy for the software to warn you and stop you from wasting the label. It's a minor annoyance but come on man, everything is "smart" today. For this thing to be dumber than a 20-year old P-touch... well I'm surprised, not in a good way. And the way the software works, CENTERING the text vertically on the tape is the user's problem to solve. You'd think it'd look at the font size, look at the tape width, and simply center it. Simple arithmetic. The sort of thing the computers and software are made for. Nope. Centering the text each time I change the label width or fiat size is my problem to solve. That's just dumb. The thing I was REALLY looking forward to is the idea that in the last 20 years the great pain of peeling the label off the backing tape must have improved to the point of being night and day better by now. The Epson label tape for this thing is actually HARDER to peel back than the label from my old P-touch. The small size and wireless connection are very nice features, but honestly I cannot recommend this thing. I'm only keeping it because of how infrequently I need to label things. It was cheap enough that when I finally do wrong out of the tape it came with I'll probably indulge myself in a sledgehammer catharsis session and try again with another unit.
