MarkDomain Cable Label Maker Machine E1000 Wire Label Maker with Label, QWERTY Keyboard, One-Touch Keys, Labeler for Construction, Easy to use for Home/Office/Industrial Labeling Jobs, Orange

I really like this printer, this unit is specifically designed for printing wire labels, among other things. I am trying to find as many things to label as I can. Many of the reviews I read said that many people were having problems finding the heat shrink labels that would fit this unit. I had the same problem but found a work around. If you are labeling wires, chances are you have access to a hack saw. Using the saw, I cut the corner half way out on one side (see pictures) and the cartridge fit perfectly in the printer. Happy label making.

Controls are a bit cumbersome but it prints really good labels.

Handy labeler. The only drawback I find is that it uses a little more tape than I would like. It tends to waste a little bit at the end of a label. It may be that I don’t have the settings correct at this point. I’ll have to check that out a little more closely. It does work well. I use it in the field to label wires and pipes. The batteries don’t last as long as I would like them to but it does come with a power adapter so that’s fine with me. It uses label tape cassettes that I have for another labeler at home so I don’t have to buy specialized tape cassettes. But that’s just for my handiness. Overall I say it’s worth the buy price is satisfactory with function and performance.

I’ve used a lot of label makers in the past at work, but decided I wanted my own for home. I would not buy this again. It is much harder to navigate. Even once I memorized how to navigate the settings. It still takes a long time to make the label you want compared to other label makers. The other big problem is the buttons are not very receptive. I do not have large fingers and I know how not to “fat finger” things. That being said, the arrow buttons do not work well, which you use every time and there is a significant lag from when you press any button to when it appears on the screen. And you have to wait for it to show on the screen before you go to the next letter or character. Bottom line: I end up having to backtrack- a lot. Very time consuming for a simple label maker. Spend some extra coin and buy a better setup.

Good label printer

First, the words on the screen are very light and hard to see. The manual is also printed in lighter colors and small letters and hard to read. My partner and I have been working with it for two days now, using a lighted magnifying glass, and just trying to print a word in the largest type in all caps. So far it's not happening. I"ll probably return it. i can't get out the magnifying glass every time I need to use it. BTW, my eyes are good.

For basic labels such as wire labeling, panel labeling it does the job. Easy to use. This label maker does the basics if you need more than the basics get a more expensive one, but for my basic labeling on panels, wires, or just to label random things this does the job.

I’m not sure what all the hype is about with the ones that gave negative reviews. I’ve used mine several times in the first day that I’ve had it out of the box, and have had no issues. I love it! I went with this one, instead of the brothers brand because it had an adapter for a plug into the wall, as well as…it does not waste much tape, where as as the brothers brand wasted a lot of tape, and did not have a plug in wall adapter; only batteries. Have yet to figure out how to decorate the labels before printing, but that will come with time.
