I have had two of these label printers and both times, they have stopped functioning after a few months. When I contacted Seiko to replace the first one, they refused and said they bore no responsibility for a faulty product. TGhey told me to contact Amazon who after some arm twisting, agreed to replace it. The second one is now also not working, but instead of me wasting valuable hours trying to fight to get a replacement, I'm going to dump it in the trash where it belongs and buy a Dynmo one which my colleague has which works perfectly. Seiko Instruments SUCKS.

I've had the Seiko Smart Label Printer 100 attached to my computer for well over a year now. While I don't use it a great deal (I have not yet finished my first roll of labels!) I have never had any significant problem with it. It is, in fact, kind of a hoot to use -- I get a small thrill when I finally push the "print" button and the label immediately starts to roll out; I guess the street wisdom about guys liking label makers is true! :-) But seriously, I am always amazaed at the fine resolution I get on the printed labels (and mistakenly tend to use a font larger than I need). I give the device 4 rather than 5 stars mostly because the user interface of the software used to design the label contents is a little bit clunky, but I wouldn't let this prevent me from buying and using the printer.

Great product which I have used on several computers with no problems for nearly 2 years. Have gone through many rolls of tapes with not one wasted label of thousands printed. Great software makes printing easy and convenient. USPS codes makes the mail move faster to destination.

The labeler is a most useful product. I use it to address envelopes, label frozen food products, mark boxes that I put away on shelves, and to organize files.

I began using an SLP back in the late '90's in my office and because I loved it so much, I bought one for home use. Fast forward 8 years and this printer has never had any problems - only now am I seeing that the ink is fading (but seven years is a good run for one printer that has processed a countless number of labels) I don't know if I can get replacement ink/ribbon, but if not, then I will purchase a new one just like it. My SLP 100 is a great product, a great value and is easy to use so I highly recommend it (which is something I NEVER do)
