- Does it need ink or toner?
- No. It uses direct thermal printing, so the printhead darkens heat-sensitive label stock. You only buy labels, not ink.
- What label size does it take?
- It is built around the standard 4×6 shipping label, the size carriers and marketplaces expect. Smaller labels such as address or barcode stickers also work.
- Can I print from a phone?
- No. It connects to a Mac or PC over USB, so you print from a computer rather than a phone or tablet.
- Is 203 dpi enough for barcodes?
- Yes. 203 dpi is the common resolution for shipping labels and produces scannable barcodes and legible addresses.
- How fast does it print?
- Up to 6 inches per second, so a 4×6 label takes roughly a second of print time.
- Does it work with shipping platforms?
- It prints standard 4×6 label files, so labels exported from major carrier and marketplace platforms print as expected.
