To turn on the L1, I pressed and held the small button on the side for three seconds. A little green LED lit up, letting me know that it was ready to be paired with the app. To turn it off, I held it for another three seconds. The use is permitted only for legal purposes and according to the valid national or international regulations.

This application as well as the generated output are intended solely for non-commercial and/or private use.

The first step in creating a label is to select continuous or gap. I chose continuous, as this is what is included with the L1. That takes me to the editor where I can add one or more of the following: When we tested the previous version, we gave it high marks for going above and beyond the basic functionality of some of its peers, and we're glad to see that Brother has offered even more in its next iteration. While this is one of the pricier label makers on the market, we think the abundance of features makes it a reasonable value. However, if you want to protect your investment with the brand's hard-shell case, note that it's sold separately. No matter how many templates are selected and how many design tasks are created, No matter how many images and design elements are used or uploaded in the design, No matter how many powerful and easy-to-use design features you use, The whole process is free. Portability: While using it, we also took note of its portability: how heavy the label maker is and how much space it actually takes up.

Our company offers standard software like TFORMer, TBarCode and Barcode Studio. Universal data acquisition tools like TWedge or Scan-IT to Office, an Android/iOS app for mobile data collection, complete our portfolio. Custom solutions are available on request. The Epson LabelWorks LW-PX800 delivers solid performance as a heavy-duty standalone label printer. It's a desktop model meant for the office, with the ability to share the printer over a network and connect to mobile devices. Plus, it's covered by a lifetime warranty, and it comes with both Mac and PC label-printing apps.If you are specifically hoping to organize your living space, the Epson LabelWorks PX 300 Label Maker is a superb choice. As we tested, we noticed there are several preloaded fonts, and it also allows you to add customizable text styles, icons, and banners. (Plus, it comes with a lifetime warranty!) Keep in mind that there’s no way to replace the rechargeable battery. Gadgets like the L1 are (unhappily) disposable. Installation and setup remotely collected data and barcodes in real-time to Excel, Word, Google Sheets, databases or any other Overall value: Overall value was evaluated while thinking about the experience with it and the price tag. The VC-500W can print from Windows PCs and both Android and iOS phones and tablets. Image quality for graphics and text was excellent in our tests, offering vibrant color, minimal graininess, and respectable detail, the last thanks to the 313dpi resolution. Photos were also acceptable, though not a match for the best Zink photo printers. The label tapes come in four widths from 9mm to 50mm (0.37 to 1.97 inches) wide, at continuous lengths of 16.4 feet. Who It's For

People associate colors with ideas. For example, the color red is often associated with heat and intensity. Choose hues that emphasize the benefits of your product or service. Also, pair colors that complement, not clash. Pictures are photos taken from my Photos app that are converted to low-res images and added to the label. Drawtify is online graphic design software that can replace most of the design functions of CorelDRAW and InDesign. It not only has a professional vector editor, layout function, photo editor, and typography tools. At the same time, it has built-in rich design plug-ins, huge online resources, and a large number of high-quality editable design templates including tags, making it easier to create tags. Even if you are not a designer, Drawtify can help you easily complete the online creation of all business graphics. Because Drawtify is easy to use and free. QWERTY keyboard: Most modern label maker options have a full, QWERTY-style keyboard. This format, which you'll know as the standard typewriter keyboard layout, is generally ideal for adults. Help your products to stand out from your competitors by creating a custom product label design that wows your customers. It’s easy to do with Visme’s label designer.

Setup: First, assembly of each label maker was completed. We timed how long it took to take the product out of the box and prepare it for use, and recorded how useful and detailed the included instructions were. The painting feature was a bit hard to use with my finger, but it worked really well when I tested the app on my iPad Pro and drew the pictures with my Apple Pencil. Those with an artistic flair will undoubtedly be much better able to take advantage of this feature. Of course you can! You can upload your images, videos, and other files to the editor and use them in your designs. Plus, you can build your brand kits with your palettes, fonts, and logo and apply them anytime you want to brand your visuals.

Rotary-style keyboard: This type of keyboard is not as time-efficient, but typically costs less and condenses the label maker's keyboard into a rotating wheel. For example, our best budget recommendation, the Dymo Organizer Xpress Pro Embossing Label Maker, has a rotary-style design. There’s a visible slit all the way around the top, which is where it opens to install the tape. The beige colored label maker that I received is a rather bland color, but it also comes in white and green. Overall, it’s a simple and practical design.

What I’d change

To help you find the right option, we tested 13 label makers in a home setting. To get started, we inspected the design, printed tags, and explored the various functions. Then, we evaluated each maker on instructions, assembly, functionality, portability, and overall value. The Brother P-touch Cube Plus is misnamed—it's more of a cube minus, shaped like half a cube at 5 by 2.6 by 5 inches (HWD). But that doesn't stop it from being a solid choice. A head-to-head competitor to Epson's LW-PX400, it offers many of the same key features, including an automatic cutter; a similar range of tape widths, from 3.5mm to 24mm (0.14 to 0.94 inch); and the ability to connect to Windows and macOS systems for printing on your desktop, or to Android and iOS devices for printing on the go. Extras for the Cube Plus include a rechargeable battery and faster speed than the LW-PX400. It's rated at 130% faster, and indeed came in faster on our testing, although the results were recorded using different generations of our test protocol, and so aren't fully comparable. Who It's For Whether you start with a label or from a blank canvas, you have full control over how your label design turns out. Visme’s free label design tool allows you to create a fully custom label design, from the colors, photos, icons, text and more. REVIEW – Our daughter is getting ready to move into her first apartment, and she’s a bit of an organizer. When she saw the Marklife P11 label maker that I had reviewed for my wife, she decided that she needed one for herself; thus, I’m going to be trying the L1 label maker from MakeID. I plan to use it to label a host of spice jars for her, and I think she will use it further to label her arts and crafts supplies, her journals, and other things. What is it?
