If you are looking for an alternative I have now been using this: amzn.to/3Xvo7ZK since February and it works perfectly!

You need to adjust the density, lower for finer print and or the speed in printer settings.

Opposite experience with the Munbyn. We bought the "on brand" Rollo, and it's horrible, incompatible with anything but their own paper, constantly jams, print quality goes bad daily. Munbyn has been the best we've had, 3 years and counting on our two munbyn printers. I'm wondering if you've cleaned the thermal head, upped the darkness of the print. It sounds like a barcode issue not a printer issue.

From other videos I have seen you can lighten the ink and slow down the speed, that sorts the accuracy out. All the other reviews and videos i have seen have been fantastic. You also recommend a Zebra printer instead but thats £350- which is way too much for me personally. Try adjusting these settings, i hope it works out

Ive had this printer for 3 or 4 years and never had any issues with it. You probably just have no idea how to use it. Its not hard.

Never had this problem with any of the thousands of shipping labels I've printed from my Munbyn. Yet had labels rejected from a laser printer.

@barrystephen6450 5 ай бұрын

Had mine over a year, had this issue once after I tried to print something different and all the settings got changed, changed back the settings and all went back to normal. I imagine that printing labels from multiple selling platforms which change settings may be the issue. Otherwise great printer no complaints.

I was thinking of buying that Munbyn printer, and now I see your video. I found out that there is an option to lower the print speed to 3 inches per second, which would solve the problem. What speed did you use when you had the problem?

Dammit! Wish I watched this review before buying the printer. When I searched before I only found 1 review for Munbyn that recommended it, just received it and printed an Amazon FBA label n noticed it printed too thick. Tried scanning myself and it didn't work compared to my other printer 🤦🏾‍♂️ gonna try a few things n see if I can get it working

Looks like a scaling issue.. I'm guessing thats the 203DPI model, 203DPI is odd ball size. There is software to correct this

@simoncossettini9680 Жыл бұрын

I bought a cheap 2nd hand b/w Laser printer from brother on ebay 30euro - this has worked for me - quality is probably better than any consumer grade thermal printer. I print 2 labels per a4 page / cut it in half and then have a clear packing tape on hand roller dispenser that I run over the label sticking it to the package - this protects the print from rain and light abrasion. No need for adhesive labels and the bw laser cartridges are cheap and can make lots of prints.

@kay2264 7 ай бұрын

Have you tried print Scale 100% instead of print Scale to Fit? Are you using Macbook? Some people have reported printing barcode issue when they are using Macbook. But not for the people using Windows. Is the printer is the updated 300dpi?

@dinxsy8069 10 ай бұрын

What did you end up going with? I've now bought a Rollo and it's terrible for the money. I've wasted so many labels to try and resolve the quality, i should have noticed it only has 203dpi . My 'Brother QL-570 does 300x600 dpi' but the labels are to small not 4x6, i use it for warning/return labels. Even pictures come out amazing on it. I think it comes down to the digital label quality from the sellers also, but even then it didn't improve on the Rollo. I may get the bigger version of a Brother Machine

It probably got 203 dpi resolution, you need one of 300 dpi, could get the one from Vevor, but mind that they too got printers with 203 dpi resolution. Double check that you are getting 300 dpi one.

wow! I wonder why the barcodes won't scan cuz they look fine? I'm in the market for a thermal printer and munbyn came up, but with mixed reviews. I'm certainly not going to take the chance now! btw, the royal mail only has a QR code for the address??? No written backup? What happens if it gets smeared??

@annabrickstock 2 жыл бұрын

Yes not worth the risk, after filming I realised they have a small number code above the QR code for Royal Mail, so maybe that’s the backup. Hope you find a decent thermal printer alternative!

Why would anybody subscribe to your channel for tech reviews? You clearly are not a tech person because you could not figure out how to change this printer settings to grayscale. You should also be scanning the labels with your UK Postal Service app to make sure it actually scans and it can read the label.
