*Absolutely love the **Bestt.Digital** Label Printer! I have needed a label printer to make shipping orders so much easier but the fact that i got it in such a pretty color. Top notch! Prints nicely*
Ordered my rollo yesterday from amazon. Will be here tomorrow. Tired of my dymo 4xl jamming. Will be able to sell the dymo on ebay and pretty much cover the rollo. Thanks for the vids CP!
All i know is that Rollo has made my life so much easier ! I have been using it for about a year now, everyday. I haven’t had any issues so far. I’m would be more then happy to buy another one full price if mine was to break. The time i’ve saved with Rollo is crazy.
Thermal printing will do that to ya 👍. Appreciate the personal testimony, always good to hear. It shouldn't break, but eventually the printhead will go bad after 650,000+ prints and I just found out it's replaceable. Need to find the part and it'll be good as new. This is 5-10 years down the road for most people. 🥰🙏 Thanks for watching man I appreciate it.
I saw Rollo respond to an Amazon customer comment saying they were coming with a mobile version soon (like a few months) so i guess we'll wait and see. Great video though, thanks again 4 the helpful content!
Appreciate the support 🙏 Yes, I've heard that as well. My guess is they are in the midst of protection with design patents, getting packaging, product, drivers, tutorials, website work, everything else behind the scenes prebuilt for the launch. Funny thing is the two I ordered from Alibaba the seller said he ran out and would upgrade me to the Bluetooth version for free. So I'll have a sneak peek because I'm 99% sure it's going to be the same printer, just branded rollo 😉
@@thecollegepicker We have seen the Bluetooth version that some third-party sellers have "made" - this is definitely not Rollo's wireless model which is a Smart IoT Device. More information will become available as we near the launch. I want to emphasize that the Chinese third-party Bluetooth add-on and Rollo's new wireless printer are very different devices with very different capabilities. To prevent copying Rollo's IP and ensuring customers are receiving legitimate, upgrade able and secure devices, the wireless technology requires device by device activation against Rollo's servers.
Eric, thank you for the video. I am so glad you screen shot the "china" site, as I was wondering about that. I contacted Rolo today, and I asked where they are manufactured, there answer was "Rollo products are manufactured and stored in Las vegas" me: so they are made in the USA, not from overseas, them: thats correct . So they did mislead me today. thanks for the video !
You are welcome. Yes that is a bit misleading 😞. They may put them in the boxes and packages in Vegas, pop off the other square and glue on the Rollo square 🤷♂️ that could be taken as manufactured by some definition I guess. Either way thanks for watching 😊 I appreciate it.
I just bought this. I figured out how to change the paper size on most of my apps. But Poshmark isn’t working. I did put it at 4x6 but it doesn’t fill the label. Do you know how or can you direct me to a video showing how to?
Thanks so much for this Video! I've been debating this printer for a little bit now. Would you suggest this for a first time buyer of a label printer? Thanks so much for your time devoted to this review! LOVE how informative you are!
Hi, you are very welcome. What system are you installing it on, and whats the budget and how tech savvy would you rate yourself from 1-5, 5 being the most savvy =) Sorry for all the questions.
@@thecollegepicker I would be installing on Windows 10. I'm currently using a basic printer to print my labels, but It raises the cost of ink and tape. I'm pretty Savvy with Technology. I'd rate about a solid 4. I also read instructions so there's that! 🤣
Excellent video! Thank you for your honesty. All the other videos I can find on this are definitely paid or they got the product for free and the reviews seem quite glossed over and biased. Great stuff from this channel
Hello just found your channel and subscribed. I wanted to get your opinion on whether I should purchase this Rollo printer or the Brother thermal printer that you recommended. The price difference between the two doesn't matter as much to me as how well it works and how fast it will print labels consistently without issues. This will be for a small warehouse and we print anywhere from 300-500 FBA labels and 100+ shippings labels per day. Need something that is super fast, no fuss and reliable. We have macs and PCs so need one that works with both if possible. What are your thoughts since you have used both. Or have you ever used a even better thermal printer for commercial use that you would recommend?
hi! i guess i bought an early one, new via amz prime, and it did NOT come with same presentation, nor did it have easy to follow quick setup guide. also i was running W8.1. results = burned up labels with light/invisible print. (in reading other comments, maybe alignment issue? using fanfold labels). CS wouldn't allow return because i waited too long. *i now have W10, and am willing to try it again. did you say you're doing an upcoming tutorial? hint hint... thanks!
I've watched a few of your videos 👍🏼 wanted to know if you have any suggestions for a wireless and or bluetooth 4×6 printer. With no proprietary labels and works with android thanks.
That's a hard one. Print server or some Chinese Bluetooth printer. Brother is the only known wireless printer for 4x6 labels atm, but those are proprietary.
Excellent Video, I prefer my labels to be enclosed inside the printer, not laying around and getting dirty.. I Wonder if Rollo refurbished printers are New printers sold secretly by Rollo but cheaper for those who can't afford new printers. They just brand as Pre-Owned..Believe it or not A lot of companies do that..Very common with Swiss Made Luxury watches, sold as Pre-Owned a few grand cheaper, when in fact they are new unsold stock..
@thecollegepicker The problem I can't solve is that the shipping labels from Amazon are not sharp, sample label it prints fine. If I use Adobe to print the label (download then resize it) it does look better, but that's a pain to do everytime. I don't know what am i doing wrong.
Have you ever bought a thermal printer on Alibaba. I looked at your link and it seems like a credible company as many had reviews on their selection of thermal printers...but wanted to see if you have before...?
Alibaba is one of the biggest e-commerce platforms online. I have bought from there and a lot of these printers come from the same suppliers. Bad reviews usually come from user error and terrible customer experience lost in translation from China.
You can, it would depend on the complexity and size to determine quality. These aren't really image quality, you usually would want something with 300dpi at least for images.
This may not be for everyone but have my Rollo hooked up to a Linux laptop and I can print labels directly from my Iphone using airprint. Seems like there should be some way to do it under Windows as well but I have never tried so maybe not.
thecollegepicker I set it up when I first got mine so the memory might not be perfect 😂 but I think I just logged into the cups server and set it to share on the network and it showed up as an airprint enabled printer. I will look at my settings. If you search cups and airprint there should be some info.
Thanks for the video. Can you make a video compare and and contrast the rollo and the one it's kicking off. It's weird that an American company does the knocking off
I have an Alibaba printer on the way as well. Sadly, I ordered it during Chinese New Year (my mistake) and then the coronavirus closed the facilities for another 2 weeks. It's cleared Customs in Los Angeles so it shouldn't be much longer. Oh - and they're sending me a USB/Bluetooth version since they ran out of just the USB version.
@@thecollegepicker mine FINALLY arrived! I've been trying to get it setup this morning. I've loaded the drivers from the mini-disc they've provided, loaded the software, checked the settings, and every time I try to print a sample label it is blank. I'm thinking the print head isn't working because it isn't even getting hot.
I am seeing an option for the exact same printer but it has Zing logo instead of the ROLLO logo, it is is about £50 cheaper, has anyone tried the Zing? Thanks in advance!
Not recommended on water bottles since the label will fade over time. (Direct thermal labels in general) For long-term labeling I recommend thermal transfer labels though they are more expensive than direct thermal; not to mention you need a separate thermal transfer label printer.
rollo is coming out with a wireless model soon. Mine works great except you have to use their labels and keep ALL dust off the label pile if you buy a stack of labels like I did. Dust will make it print really bad and make you print like 3 or more labels till it gets a dust free label. I put my printer inside a sealed shoe box. But if you print all the time you should be fine
Yes I've heard about the wireless, I'm excited for it. You don't have to use their labels it will work with any brand labels. As for the dust, thanks for sharing I didn't know that 🙏 thanks for checking out the video.
I hear ya. Yeah I'm all about price/function. Some people might like the convenience of Amazon prime, customer support, warranty etc. Stuff I don't care about 🤣 👍. Might be a slight quality difference onac because of driver support but I'll do the test and report back.
Sorry to hear that. I'll try to see if I can replicate it when I do more tests. Do you have a straight roll behind it? Guides are tight in and everything loaded straight?
Rollo just needs to learn your label. Please press and hold the circular button until you hear one beep and then let go. After learning is complete, you will be able to print perfectly without wasting any labels. Please refer to Rollo's setup video or contact Rollo support for any questions.
thecollegepicker I didn’t find some on eBay that look the like the Rollo don’t say Rollo anywhere in the title/description. Is this a a safe bet? I’m looking at buying a relatively inexpensive one for home business use.
thecollegepicker yeah I have no problem with that. My full time job I work on cnc machines that are manufactured in China and is a Japanese run company.
"premium customer experience" I thought it was satire lol You must have been disappointed many times. I dunno but I know I'm binge watching this channel. Such a niche topic haha My ZP450 has been a 6 year workhorse. For about the same price, I would get the ZP450 instead of rollo. Great marketing though on their end
Appreciate it! Zp450 is a great machine. I just did two videos on that, an overview and a step by step tutorial for installation. Workhorse is fitting with the zebra genomic classification.
rollos suck... get a zebra... a real mans printer. gtx420d is my entry level pick but if you got the extra doe best workhorse thermal printer is a used zt420 or 220 if you don’t care about the lcd display.
I haven't had enough time with it, but from reviews and testimony people love it. With that being said, I have 4 zebras 🦓🦓🦓🦓 💪 mostly for testing purposes.
Is this what American "entrepreneurship" has turned into? Fetch a product from AliExpress for 40-50 bucks, rebrand it and ship it to clueless consumers in a fancy box for 279 USD. Some markup for a box engineered in the USA!
Basically yeah, they did a good job marketing and packaging it. They do provide customer support as well. They have built a good chrome extension that crops labels which is free. But yeah china printer to american market.

I've had my rollo for 6 months now. Zero problems great customer support when updated. So much better than my Zebra!
Glad it's working out for you, they really have excellent support.

yes, any 4x6 label , you can also use adobe reader snapshot view to print odd label size on a 4x6 label on it
This will not work on Android phone. ☹️
