Nelko 4+

I use this little printer for everything: putting dates on filters when I replace them, marking food that I put in the refrigerator/freezer, labeling charge cords, putting my name/phone number on items in case they are lost, labeling essential oil blends I create, and labeling all my craft boxes. I even used them to label pots in which I put seeds and the date planted. I love that I can buy different types of labels, some with borders and colors, and the printer automatically recognizes the label type. Many years ago I dreamed about having a Bluetooth label maker that was so simple and quick to use via my phone that didn’t require me to individually type into a tiny keyboard and only displayed the output on a tiny little screen. This device answers that need in a very great way. The interface is relatively easy to use and I have plenty of options for fonts and styles as well as alignment. I can even add tiny graphics to the labels. I highly recommend this product. The only criticism I have is that the labels don’t seem durable. When exposed to heat, the writing fades. When that happens I just print another one since they are all saved in my library.

First I want to start by saying it was so inexpensive compared to more known brands and it does the job I needed seamlessly. I truly cannot understand where all the negative reviews come from and I hope it doesn’t impact the sales of this very useful, fairly priced label maker. I feel like a lot of people are computer illiterate and blame it on the product or manufacturer. That’s not fair. If I change my mind for any reason down the road I will update this review. For now there are my current thoughts and feelings.

maybe its because im a bit obsessive but i really like this label maker.

chiefly, i use this because i like to make a lot of dishes and the family would like to know “what is this exactly?” i.e. whipped cream or whipped honey butter? and, when was it made?

the app itself does everything i need and its simple to use but not basic. for example, there are more than a few fonts to select, i can change the font size, select clip art or borders, and save labels.

printing is a breeze, as long as your printer is detected via bluetooth. the printer is charged vis usb-c and holds the charge nicely.

the prints are great and can get down to 6pt font, but i stick to 10 & 12pt.

labels come out crisp and easily legible. they can get down to 6pt font, but i stick to 10 & 12pt.

the downsides are, supplies are ordered via the manufacturer, and you have to use the app to print. in my opinion, not a bad trade off because you do NOT need an internet connection as its not cloud-based.

after a year, I've no issues.
