vretti Thermal Printer USB Label Printer Thermal Label 4x6 for Shipping Compatible with Windows, Mac OS and Linux systems

Superb item, I had to return the initial Printer as it wouldn't turn on.The 2nd One that arrived is just Excellent. I only use my Mobile Phone to Connect Via Bluetooth.Very Easy to Set Up Bluetooth and Load Paper.Excellent Sturdy item.

Great printer, arrived swiftly. Everything was there, including some free labels. Set up was super quick and easy and I printed my first label, via Bluetooth, in under 5 minutes

The media could not be loaded. The Vretti 5G WiFi Shipping Label Printer is a versatile thermal label printer with great potential, offering fast printing speeds and high-quality output. However, setting it up can be a challenging process due to compatibility issues with various software. While the WiFi functionality is convenient in theory, the setup requires significant effort, and users may find themselves troubleshooting across different platforms to get it running smoothly. Once configured, it performs well, but the initial setup might not be ideal for those looking for a straightforward experience. I suggest Vretti gets own software made with real wifi print drivers, that is built in one package, the software was ok and works, but not happy about wifi setup and different options to load on it. Right pain. See my video

The previous printer was far too complicated, so it got sold & replaced with this one. It was easy to set up, prints 4 x 6 parcel labels as required & was good value.

Took me a little while to set up but after that all good, prints well, quick and I like the green colour too as works well in my studio.

NB I think this listing has changed since I made my purchase at the end of November 2022 - I bought the Bluetooth version.Also…I initially wrote a 1 star review as the printer simply wouldn’t work, but I later updated the score to 4 stars and amended my written review as described below.However today - 17th September 2023 - I am updating the score to 1 star and adding further comments at the bottom of my review.I did a lot of research before buying this printer and I chose this one because it had all the features I wanted (Bluetooth printing, can take different sizes of labels, labels stored inside the printer, compact, easy to use) at a good price. However, it ended up being a huge let down at first.Although it was easy enough to download the app and connect to the printer from my iPhone, I just couldn't get to grips with printing a label successfully. The instruction manual is in poorly translated English so it's not particularly helpful, and the app is not intuitive and parts of it are in Chinese so it's pretty useless. I was able to import a returns label but for some reason whenever I tried to print it the printer would think about it for 30-60 seconds and then spew out a tiny QR code as shown in the photo. The code isn't even related to the label I was trying to print; when I scan it it comes up as '123457789', so it must be a test code or something. I tried asking for help but got no reply, so customer support is completely lacking. It was so frustrating to continuously waste labels so I decided to give up and I intended to return the printer for a refund. What a waste of time and trouble.However, I decided to give the printer a final try (if only to print its own return label!!) and it suddenly started working properly. I didn’t do anything differently; it was as if the printer all of a sudden wanted to play ball for some unknown reason and I can’t say I was unhappy about that! Now it prints labels in a matter of seconds and I’m absolutely thrilled. I may need to play around with the thickness of the printing as some of the barcodes can look a little thick…but that said they still scanned without issue by both Evri and Royal Mail so perhaps I’m better off leaving well alone!The fact this printer is black is a big plus to me as it looks slick and it won’t change colour over time (I hate how white plastic so often yellows as it ages).I would have liked it to come with a few sample labels for practice runs, but I’ve not marked down for the fact it doesn’t as this is mentioned in the listing so it came as no surprise.So if you have a similar experience to me at first, don’t despair as hopefully your printer will suddenly buck up its ideas like mine did!UPDATE 17/09/2023Please do not waste your time and trouble on this printer. I have spent the past 3 hours trying to print a label but the printer does nothing.I started experiencing issues a few weeks ago when the printer spat out blank labels. I cleaned the print head with isopropyl alcohol as directed but this did nothing. Eventually after many tries it did print something but it was partially off the page and I had no idea why. I had set everything up as normal but for whatever reason the printer decided to play up. I reprinted it several times, each time adjusting the position so that finally it did print fully on the label, even though on my phone's screen it was showing as hanging off the page. So bizarre.Today I have gone to print a label and it spat out blanks again. I cleaned the print head; no change. I reinstalled the app; no change. The app keeps telling me 'printing completed' but I'm still sat here waiting for my label to print. It is so frustrating and it has wasted so much of my time.When it works properly this printer is great. But when it doesn't work the app compounds your frustration and exasperation by acting as if nothing's wrong. No error messages or anything to help explain the problem.Please save yourself the same hassle and inconvenience - don't buy this printer!!

I've been considering one of these thermal printers for some time as I hate having to print, cut and sellotape labels. I've been unable to justify it since I only sell a few things on eBay and print returns labels. Furthermore, I wasn't sure if I could use this to print Amazon return labels.I finally took the plunge on this printer after my printer ink ran out. "Why did I wait so long?" is the first thought that came into my head after printing the first label off. It's fast, efficient, and above all, CONVENIENT! I've been able to print labels from Evri (Hermes), Royal Mail, DPD, UPS, and even Amazon returns (including the returns barcode part). Some labels require minor scale and margin adjustments - all done using the built-in print dialogue (Windows PC version). I'm unsure how Mac works with it, but I doubt it would be much different.Why did I choose this particular thermal printer? For one simple reason - It supports internal rolls. Many other options need a stack of papers sitting behind the printer, which looks untidy.The print quality doesn't rival an ink-based printer, but it's perfectly fine for labels.Highly recommended!Update: A few things I need to mention after a few days of use. I discovered that my DPD labels were not clear enough until I adjusted the "darkness" settings in the printing preferences. Also, as I was playing around with the preferences, I somehow messed up the positioning of my labels until about 30 labels later I corrected it by setting the vertical offset to -5.0. My labels are now printing perfectly aligned, darker, and much clearer! I would highly recommend watching the video instructions on the USB stick included with the printer if you run into any issues.

Just got this today. It was so easy to set up and it prints the labels at amazing speed. I'm thrilled. This is going to save me soooo much time.
