This is by far the most common and best label printer ever designed. Ingenius design makes it easy to use and maintain. Be aware that this product is a lot like buying a vehicle. There are many options available. Understand that before you compare products to be sure you are comparing apples with apples. Example: The unit listed here doesn't have a ribbon option so it can only print as direct thermal. That means that the label itself must have the ink embedded on them to produce a label and that label will only last long enough to maybe ship the product (in other words, this design is made for creating shipping labels or labels that only need to exist for a few days). The ribbon option, purchased seperately would cost about $99.00 or more. Back to the product: This printer is made in Orlando, Florida which means parts are readily available and cheap so you can maintain the unit. The consumable parts are extremely easy to replace. Platen rollers and printheads can be replaced in less than 30 minutes each without experience. The labels can be setup on specialty software or just on Word or Excel using Windows printer drivers. They are light weight, but heavy duty. I've seen them last 15 years without much maintenance performed on them. Purchase this product with confidence. Just make sure you do your research on which options you need before you commit. Good luck and I hope this review helps you decide!Read full review

We use 6 of the Datamax I-4208 and all have proven to be a workhorse of a printer. We print thousands of labels monthly with no problems whatsoever. We've grown to depend on these printers and they continue to prove their worth with nothing more than regular maintenance. Whether printing through a network or installed locally, these printers are user freindly, dependable, and produce high quality labels, especially barcodes. Highly recommended.
Have been using 10-15 of these machines for over five years. All bought used for $2-$400. each. Almost no problems,just replace print heads as they get tired.
