| 30 of 32 people found the following review helpful  A shipping workhorse., This review is from: Zebra LP2844 Thermal Label Printer (Office Product) For those who regularly ship through the USPS or even UPS, this little machine will save you time and money. It holds large rolls of labels and requires NO ink. There are no ink refill costs. With very few moving parts, there are less opportunities for malfunction or breakage. Used and refurbished units are generally a safe buy. I've been using a refurbished machine for 2 years and have printed thousands and thousands of labels with NO issues. I would suggest that one conduct thorough research as prices for these machines can vary greatly - especially for not-new machines. I would also suggest that users consider investing in better quality labels for shipping use. Cheaper labels seem to print less darkly than those that are higher quality. Lastly, extended exposure to intense sunlight or heat and the gum of most tape will darken thermal labels. To keep from losing your printed information (and addresses) refrain from taping over the labels and avoid extended exposu re to intense sunlight and heat.As far as specifics go, I use the Zebra LP 2844 thermal printer with a desktop PC and Endicia postage software. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful Great product, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Zebra LP2844 Thermal Label Printer (Office Product) Years ago when I worked for a law firm we had one of these for the UPS computer. I remember it never having a problem. In an office that seemed full of the technologically handicapped, it was the one thing that never failed.Fast forward a decade. I'm the owner of a small farm business. We were looking for some way of printing our own labels for our many products (mostly whole fresh poultry or frozen meat for pet food). We were expecting LaserJet or something labels, but then I stumbled across my old friend here and we thought we could probably pull it off with a thermal label printer like this if we were okay with printing just one color (which we are). I found a used one for , bought some Zebra labels (buy labels from barcodediscount.com - excellent customer service checked in with me before processing the order to make sure I had a compatible printer) and now we have print-on-demand labels. If you're putting them on plastic food packages to be frozen, get the Z-Select 4000D series labels, which are made for low temperature applications. For a small company like us, spending a fortune on a minimum 500 pre-printed labels for each product wasn't an option, and handwriting labels is kind of tacky. Yes, they're in black and white, but we can customize each label to suit our needs. And, no need for ribbons or ink. At about for 700 4"x4" labels it ended up being a good deal. We would've paid the same () for about 1000 of a single label. At least with this we're not tied down to one thing! Setup wasn't a breeze, but it's because I got cocky. For Windows 7 users: Download the newest version of Zebra Printer Setup and install it. Follow its instructions for adding a new printer and rather than select one manually, let Windows Update locate and install the driver. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful Works like a charm, By Severance Foods, Inc. (Hartford, CT) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Zebra LP2844 Thermal Label Printer (Office Product) Took a little while tinkering with the settings (dimensions), but once up and running, works like a charm! I use it solely for UPS shipping labels, which I buy direct from UPS. I've owned it for 2 months now and have had no issues. |
