5 of 5 The perfect portable label solution Thursday, December 24, 2009
Lon from Rochester, NY  

Way more versatile than the stand-alone units! I use this with my netbook to print detailed multi-lined labels (with graphics) in the field. Easy to switch out cartridges when a different color is required and the battery-life has been awesome. The available full-featured software (free download - requires install) adds barcodes and host of other nice touches but the on-board no-install-required software is sufficient for most tasks. Excellent product and the price can not be beat. BUY.com delivery was fast (as usual).

5 of 5 Even prints Chinese characters! Sunday, September 20, 2009
A Customer from MA  
Just received it and it works like a charm with the starter tape. I was even able to copy Chinese text into their labeling software and it could print them out just fine!

5 of 5 Truly simple label maker! Thursday, September 17, 2009
Jayme from Pawtucket, RI  
Just like it states on the side of the device: FAST EASY SECURE! Nothing to install, so it even works on my office PC, which restricts me from adding any software or hardware.
