Small online business owners: This is the one you want!
Small Business owners: this is the one. Inexpensive, user friendly, fully customizable thermal printer, with cheap thermal rolls @ around 2 cents per label available in bulk on Amazon.I own a small online business and need to ship a few orders a day, I was previously trying the Brother QL-1100, and before that I was using an ink jet printer on label paper, and I'm so glad I switched to this, for a few reasons:1. Ink is way too expensive. Like, holy heck man.2. The shipping label sheets are more as expensive per label all by themselves, not counting ink.3. I had to manually format a lot of online labels with Adobe acrobat in order to not waste pages. With this printer, I can print from Amazon, PayPal, and Etsy with thier thermal printer format option. (Bonus tip at the end for websites that don't have a 4x6 option)4. I had to manually cut the labels out if I wanted them to be small rectangles like most labels are.This label printer has been amazing, and like I said, I actually tried the Brother QL-1100 before trying this, and ended up returning it. if you're on the fence, here's why:1. The brother has much more expensive label rolls, over 12 cents a label, and the generics don't work right -- I tried to use the generic Enko labels at a much better cost (about 3 cents a label) but the size was smaller, and the brother couldn't be configured to print on it correctly.2. The Arkscan can be configured to print on almost any label size, while the brother software doesn't let you change unless the printer can tell the size loaded inside matches your settings. So frustrating, and actually a big deal for printing correctly.I tried for hours to configure the brother to print correctly on the smaller labels, but everything I did made it worse. -- With the Arkscan, I literally just did the auto size (not perfect, more on that later) and then manually adjusted it to all of the exact measurements in millimeters in the settings, and it's worked perfectly for every label, no over printing, nothing. And the settings actually save! (The brothers settings would randomly reset every so often, to add insult to injury.)--- Now for the flaws - there's always something!OK, so If I had to say one negative thing, it would be the auto label size scan thing, when I tried it, it wasn't very accurate. Like, at all. It thought my labels were like 10 inches long. But, being able to manually measure my generic brand "Buhoo" or whatever Labels, and enter them into the device settings, and save it as a preset, was a complete breath of fresh air after dealing with the extremely limited driver settings of the brother ql-1100.-- So thank you again for actually allowing control with your driver, instead of trying to lock people into buying your proprietary labels like other manufacturers are trying to do.---Bonus tip if you read this far: For websites that don't offer a 4x6 option (like Amazon's own dang return labels forsome reason..) you can save the label as an image (right click, view image, save as...) and then just open it up with any image viewer and hit print to the Arkscan. It just works! It fits to the 4x6 label, even if the label is facing sideways or something weird like that.

Fast and reliable. A perfect label every time.
I've owned this printer for a year and a half now. I use it daily. I must say it is the best printer I've ever owned by far. If you have a small business and need to print shipping labels this is the one to buy. Its lightening fast, absolutely accurate and never a problem. It just works. It spits out a label in about 1 second. The label will not smudge and is waterproof. I started back in the early 2000 with inkjet printers which were nothing but problems. This is like a dream come true. It's what a label printer should be. Seriously, buy with confidence. I can't recommend this enough. Buy once and your label problems are over.

A 5-star customer service and an awesome little printer
I don't know where to begin, because I am overwhelmed by the customer service I received from Mark. I am not tech savvy at all and have particularly struggled with all kinds of printers my entire life. I am quite convinced that printers hate me. The reason why I chose this printer was that the pain of printing labels on A4 on a regular printer and taping them to boxes was greater than figuring out how this little one works. All the positive reviews about Arkscan customer service gave me the confidence and the push to give it a go. Also, I really like the idea of the label roll being hidden inside. The rest of the deceptively tiny printers required a long tray to hold fanfold labels. I wasn't into that at all.The printer came very well packaged - a great first sign. My MAC doesn't have a USB port and the printer came with a USB to USB-c adapter, thus I was excited to put it to test right out of the box.Arkscan made it so easy to go through the installation and label calibration process, which took about 15 mins. Their videos are super clear with zero ambiguity. If I could do it, anyone could. I have a few additional questions and got in touch with their support. Mark replied very promptly. He sent me links to additional videos that addressed all my questions and concerns. In addition, my power adapter came with a rattling sound and would not power on after the first try printing the labels. After confirming my amazon purchase, Mark shipped me the power adapter replacement, which arrived in just 2 days.The printer is quick and smart, doesn't take much space and I have tries 3 different kinds of labels with great success. I am so so happy and relieved I do not have to buy ink for it. The shipping process is now streamlined and it has helped me to be very productive now that the dreadful shipping label element is off the table. I even was able to figure out how to print 4x6 shipping labels that are non standard format.My favorite purchase in a very long time.Thank you Mark!!Grateful for all reviewers before me. I hope you find this helpful!

STEP BY STEP VIDEO SETUP MAJOR PLUS!!
I RARELY leave reviews but i had to review this printer! i had a printer already but it was one of the cheaper ones and i could not get it to print from my computer for anything so basically a major connectivity issue and inconvenience so as i was looking for a new printer option to handle my shipping labels i came across this one the arkscan and i noticed in the videos there was a step by step tutorial on how to properly install it on my specific computer!! so i was like ok cool so theres proof it will connect to a chromebook lol. that video is the absolute reason i spent the extra money on this printer and it also looked like a good printer. so i got it, used the video to set it up and im printing directly from computer. so excited it was quick and easy becuase im not tech savy when it comes to installs and setups like that! so happy i made this purcahse, and it looks like it will last for a good while!
