## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Star
*by A***D on 3 September 2025*

Great, thank you

### ⭐ Bar code is really blurred
*by F***A on 27 January 2025*

Tried two but unfortunately these are expensive and not useful Looks like very good quality build, but I tried so many times including switch between mac and windows, and simply could not get it work.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not the simplest to set up, once ya get it its good
*by K***A on 12 February 2024*

Being a product from Zebra, meaning that it is primarily designed for business use, means that it can be a little confusing to set up, especially the first time doing it. Although once you figure out what you're doing with it, the print quality is great for a thermal printer. The resolution is great and offers clear improvements over cheapo thermal printers that you can get for home use. The main downside I found, especially considering the price of the unit, is that the build quality really is not fantastic, it is main mostly out of plastic and feels a little hollow and cheap, although this does seem consistent with every label printer I have seen in warehouse/shop settings.
