Casio KL-820 EZ-LABEL PRINTER

Value foe money

It has been around 4 months since I moved into a new apartment. As part of my kitchen reorganization project, I wanted a reasonably priced label printer primarily for labels for my food storage containers kept in fridge, freezer and pantry. I ordered a 9mm and 12mm tape for the purpose. I am happy with this purchase - a gift for parents day from my daughter. I prefer simple fonts to fancy fonts for easy reading. I am using the sans serif rnd font with a round box frame and it adds a simple elegance to all my steel and glass containers. At least now I can easily tell one masala from another. The printer is very simple to use. Only con is the usage of 6 AA alkaline batteries. If I can use AA rechargeable batteries (which I have in abundance of same power and brand), it will be very nice. Also it would be nice to get the genuine adapter online instead of generic ones which are hit or miss. Yes there's a wastage of tape on each side. But then this is there in almost all brands as per what I saw on YouTube to understand the working of the tape.

Good product 👍.easy to use. value for money 💰.print quality is very good.

VERY WORTHY ITEM FOR ENGINEERS AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAM

Printing tape supplied with machine is only blank film ribbon. White paper on which print is inner is missing. Needed to print labels and as I tried it has no tape. I had ordered an extra roll and will try again. But this is shocking that Casio has such poor quality control and they pack machines without checking components. I found it is much better to use Avery label paper and use general inkjet to print different labels. That is way more convenient jas thousands more options and labels can be printed in advance, in bulk and used as needed.I wonder if Casio is a realisable brand anymore? A couple of years ago I purchased a Casio wrist watch which had so many problems that I stopped using it after a week.Bought watch from Life style mall and they just tell you to go to Casio service centre.The upside of this label maker is that it’s portable. It works on 6 AA batteries. Again Casio did not provide an electric connection adapter with machine and it should be bought separately.So yes if you want a portable label maker with very limited options. You can buy it else it’s a big waste of money. And if you do buy it pls check that the tape That comes with pachane has white paper else return it.

The printer is very useful, with multiple label types available. While some of the label tapes are expensive, you can use the Thermal types which are more pocket-friendly.There's a variety of print styles that can be used, and several symbols that make day-to-day labeling very easy.The only drawback is that you cannot connect it to your computer via USB (a more expensive model is available for that).

The labels are neat and the product is user friendly. However the tape finishes too fast resulting in the per label cost to be high. Also, the printing is quite slow. Definitely not suitable for office use.

good
