The roller is in the form of a plastic tape with a printable side, the other side being covered dune adhesive layer of protection to paste quon removes the label.
Since the machine has no ink tank, I understand that the plastic tape contains the ink that will likely reveal a thermal effect produced by the head décriture (I guess this is the process, power hungry, which contributes to wear and tear batteries).
As with a computer, word processing seffectue before printing. That is to make a label must be in First of content development at ugly keyboard and screen. The keyboard offers many possibilities: letters, numbers, symbols, frame, without underlining, however, offer many possibilities is a computer; eg There is only one font (but 6 possible dimensions for each character or symbol).
After the label developed (content is stored automatically as and) it just press the "print" button. The label then exits through a slot on the front of the unit. For lextraire have to press the tape cutter lever. It remains Quà remove the back layer of protection.
The result is, in my opinion, good quality both for printing and for laspect brillant- -With reference to the label surface.
The length of the label depends on the content that was crafted.
It is unfortunate that the device nindique not on screen before printing, what will be the size of the label.
It is also a pity that the screen does not give a correct view of the label as it displays all the characters or symbols with the same dimension: whatever the size chosen for a character or symbol always appears in the same way on the screen.
If, for example, we find that the length of the label is too large it must again be choosing a shorter content or smaller font.
But, in my opinion, these problems are relatively minor compared to the benefits that are the simplicity of use and quality labels.
Nayant for now use the device only for a limited number of labels I have not been able to realize to what extent it is hungry batteries. But the price of a power adapter is the order of euros dune fortnight and is quickly amortized. Jajoute that if you add up the cost of the device The power supply to that, we arrive at a price below 50 euros, which is reasonable.
As for the average price of each label I esteem between 11 and 15 cents. For example if using a cassette tape 7m long and 12mm wide, and if the average dune label length is 7 cm is obtained 100 labels with such a cassette, hence the average price indicated cassette such as the dune price ranges between 11 and 15 euros.
This price is far from ruinous for private use, a priori casual.
