For those who regularly ship through the USPS or even UPS, this little machine will save you time and money. It holds large rolls of labels and requires NO ink. There are no ink refill costs. With very few moving parts, there are less opportunities for malfunction or breakage. Used and refurbished units are generally a safe buy. I've been using a refurbished machine for 2 years and have printed thousands and thousands of labels with NO issues. I would suggest that one conduct thorough research as prices for these machines can vary greatly - especially for not-new machines. I would also suggest that users consider investing in better quality labels for shipping use. Cheaper labels seem to print less darkly than those that are higher quality. Lastly, extended exposure to intense sunlight or heat and the gum of most tape will darken thermal labels. To keep from losing your printed information (and addresses) refrain from taping over the labels and avoid extended exposure to intense sunlight and heat.

As far as specifics go, I use the Zebra LP 2844 thermal printer with a desktop PC and Endicia postage software.

Took a little while tinkering with the settings (dimensions), but once up and running, works like a charm! I use it solely for UPS shipping labels, which I buy direct from UPS. I've owned it for 2 months now and have had no issues.

I recently purchased a Refurbished Zebra unit, and it was just like new, works perfectly and it arrived in a timely manner, with all of the parts inside. What really impressed me was the packaging, I work in purchasing and so many companies out there package items horribly, which causes returns and more work this item was bubble wrapped and plastic wrapped to prevent internal damage to the machine, its the little things ya know and this company has them covered!
