I am looking for an afforadable way to print black and white labels for my products I sell at farmers markets. Would this be a good choice? Thanks!

I'm sure this printer would work fine. I am not sure it would be the best choice. Only back and white. Also, not sure how creative you can be with the software. You may want to consider a color printer and Avery labels. Would be more flexable and give you the ability to be more creative.

yes, a very good choice. we have bought generic labels and have printed out a couple of thousands labels.

It would be for sure, no consumables i.e. neither cartridges nor toner for printing. And the labels are quite affordable too here at amazon

If you need to print lots of labels (20+ at a time), you should consider cheaper labels on 8 1/2 by 11" sheets you can buy in boxes of 100 sheets for less then this printer's labels cost. This printer is best for the convenience of printing one or a few at a time. You could easily take this label maker to the market with you and attach to your laptop to print a few at a time.

It should do an excellent job, but unless you have to print a large number of labels it would be an expensive option. If you have additional needs such as mailing labels it would be worthwhile.

The trick is to create labels that are just slightly larger than the 2" sticker (I make mine 2.05") so that any printer-feed issues will not cause white space. Just remember to make your design well within the 2" border. Also, the paper and print options will greatly effect the result, so you might have to experiment. My HP printer did a great job with these, (plain paper, high quality print setting) while my brand new Epson stinks! Everything prints faintly, no matter what the setting. I now go to Office Max and print for $.50 a sheet. Perfect!

You can print any color you want. You can print all the labels in ONE COLOR or a DIFFERENT COLOR for each folder. The choice is yours.

Personally, I use a program called Print Shop. I know those type of programs are very simple to use & generally have all the "Avery" sized labels as options on the program. If I had to guess about Microsoft Word, I'd say they likely only do labels for mailing.

My cartridges have not run out yet, but I'd bet that if you specify Auto/Color, then it would not work because there is no color available. If you specify (from whatever machine you're printing from) that you want Black, then it should work fine. That's how other printers have worked for me.

That is all we have. We used it 3 times successfully advertising our church's VBS at the local farmer's market in my small town. The bottles sat in ice water for hours and looked great at the end of each Thursday afternoon. No complaints here. I don't know how it faired for others, but we did have a bit of trouble with the on-line template and our different printers. Some worked, some didn't. So don't get frustrated. Follow the directions carefully and remember that, as you see on the screen there is a lot of over print on the label. Oh, and the printing can be much smaller than you think, so choose your words, font, and color wisely. Short and sweet is best. Clear type is best. Hope that helps. That is all we have.

Compared to other printers I have used, it is economical on ink. You can switch to a "black only" option to save on color use during black-and-white printing. The cartridges are inexpensive on eBay.

Your question lacks specificity. Computer labels are usually cheaper and less time consuming. This Epson printer is portable, it's more for labeling things/products. I am happy with it. I've used it to label ingredients in my Tupperware and for labeling samples for my MomLovesLongLashes.com business.

Ironically, I just downloaded the template today. I experimented with laser printing one label at a time. It worked well for the three labels I printed.

I haven't printed just one label, but I have printed a column or a row. But you can set it up for what you want. That decision is made by your computer program, not the label.

You can just about print anything you want o the label. You can take pictures that you have downloaded onto your computer and upload them onto the label. Look under backgrounds and you will see that you can use your own backgrounds.

I tried with no luck. Ended up with another printer for amazon labels. Haven't tried in a year so they may have changed it.

I use my Dymo LetraTag for creating bacle or cord labels. They are fantastic for this purpose. Clear printing, no smearing, easy to read, sticks well.

Maye - you have to check label stock available iable - I thnk there must be an easier printer to use then this one - softwre could be a little smoother

Good idea. You can print from Excel, works like a printer. Set up print area and narrow margins to match the label size. They sell a continuous paper roll without adhesive that may work for a receipt. DKN5224 $15.99 on amazon. Good luck.

Yes, just select black & white when the print selection pops up. Always buy the XXL Ink in B&W; and the color pack. Much cheaper and prints a lot more pages. If U need more on the ink just ask another ?Merry Christmas!Rich

Yes you can print "Gray scale", which is black & white. This a great feature since black ink is cheaper than colored. FYI...I had mine for 5 years now & have no problem finding affordable ink. I just bought a 20 pack of black & colored for $11.00 on Amazon. I have always bought "compatible" in cartridges & have not had one problem.
