This label printer is highly efficient in terms of printing prowess; it uses 8 barcode standards with 14 fonts to choose from. On top of that, users will be delighted with 780 symbols which they can integrate with standard labels. I personally like the puppy icons which I use very often for my pet's stuff.

This 400-gram printer comes with a built-in keyboard that's very comfortable in typing inputs. The weight is quite manageable for a handheld printer, though it's heavier once you snap in the batteries and tape cartridge inside their respective compartments.
The keys have tactile feedback which is quite ideal on the hands. As for the major buttons and mechanisms, the power button and print button are situated on each side of the display. You'll also find the cut mechanism/button on the right side - it comes with apple green hue which is quite refreshing on the eyes. At the bottom, we have the power pin socket.
The printed label comes out on the top of the device which is a no-nonsense placement. The printer is quite flexible; it can support 4-mm, 6-mm, 9-mm, 12-mm, and 18-mm tape width with 180 dpi printing resolution.
Furthermore, the print outputs are quite good, I used a glossy tape but the thermal prints still manage to make the fonts sharp and crisp. The device has a 9-mm print height with 4 printable lines which is a good take for a label printer.
