Overview
A professional labeling small items on site gets a handheld thermal printer that pairs with a phone over Bluetooth. The Express Labels mobile app, available for Android and iOS, builds the label, and the printer has a small LCD.
Portability and app control are the reason to consider it, since labels are made from a phone with nothing else to carry. It prints monochrome on supply sizes up to a limited width. The listing is short on supplies details, so check which label cartridges it uses.
Who it's for
Maintenance and field staff who prefer to type labels on a phone and print them wherever they are standing. Workers who want to create labels without a phone, or print on large media, need a different printer.
Pros and cons
- Small enough to carry in one hand
- Phone app for Android and iOS
- Bluetooth Low Energy connection
- Thermal printing needs no ink
- Monochrome output only
- Print only, no copy or scan
- Narrow maximum label width
- Supplies included not listed
Performance notes
A thermal print head heats the label material directly, so there is no ink to refill, and the resolution is fixed by the head. Label content is composed in the Express Labels app and sent over Bluetooth, which means a phone is needed for every job. Stated output speed is slow, so large batches take time.
