Using non-branded thermal labels in the Munbyn Thermal Printer - How to set them up!

Earlier this year I was sent a Munbyn direct Thermal printer and was asked if you could use non-branded thermal labels in it. Today, I am going to take you along as I set up some new labels I got that are not from Munbyn.
Thank you for watching!

Thank you 🧡 same to you

[@sweet44508]

Thank you so much for the vid, I was going crazy (for a couple of hours) trying to figure out why my new UPS shipping labels were printing so many blanks. Turns out all I needed to do was calibrate it and I learned that from your video.

[@SoyandShea]

I'm so pleased it helped. If you ever find the calibration doesn't work to stop the blanks, physically measure the labels to make sure the size is right. I had some new shipping labels and they were 1mm short than started and it kept skipping labels. Once I entered the correct size, it all worked

[@heathersummer927]

Hope you have a very relaxing and happy break. 🎉❤🎉❤

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡 hope you have an amazing Christmas too. 🎄

[@Sulfen]

You can feed the labels from the back while the lid is closed, and it will auto adjust so that it wastes zero labels.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡 I discovered this sometime after getting the machine. It's a shame they don't advise this in their booklet. I have shown how I now load the printer in other videos

[@jrbland18]

I WATCH YOU FROM THE USA AND I ALWAYS MAKE SURE I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡 that's appreciated

[@ms.davidson8693]

Can you refer me to the link to show how the barcode was made please?

[@gpslitt]

what maximum length you can print on munbyn printer and what if have a continuous roll, as i saw an option with no gap

[@SoyandShea]

I've not tried printing long labels sorry and I don't have any continuous rolls to try. You may need to contact Munbyn directly to ask them

[@user-zd8lf6vx3m]

Thank you for this video. Ive been struggling quite a bit to get a thermal printer that can print any brand of stickers. Do you perhaps know of any other thermal printer or printers that do the same please?

[@SoyandShea]

I've found that any thermal printer that loads paper from the back of the machine and does not have an enclosed cavity for a label roll will print any brand. Avoid Brother and dynamo. Some zebras will allow printing on any label but you have to buy the right size core label

[@Wealthymentality7]

You should of put those direct upc labels in the bio im having trouble finding some for my MUNBYN printer

[@SoyandShea]

Just google direct thermal labels. Plenty of places come up including Amazon and ebay. I don't put in the bio as my links would be Australia and a majority of my viewers are in other countries.

[@user-fr3tz3gq3h]

Can I ask what software you were using to create the custom labels or is this included with the printer, thank you

[@SoyandShea]

The printer does not come with software. I've done another video showing how you can use canva or something like Adobe Illustrator to create labels. I have left links to these videos in this video

[@colgatetoothpaste4865]

can you use corel draw ????

[@SoyandShea]

Yes you can use any drawing program

[@relevant.c5411]

can u print 4x2 labels? i cant find it anywhere on their website

[@SoyandShea]

I show in this video how to set up different sized labels no listed. As long as you can buy a size, you can set it to print

[@relevant.c5411]

@@SoyandShea thank u so much!!!

[@amandathode4540]

Can you use round stickers with this printer?

[@SoyandShea]

Yes, you can use any shape. In the original videos, I show the round labels I was sent

[@user-ih3gm4pp6n]

Does this printer work on vinyl sticker?

[@SoyandShea]

No it doesn't. It needs special paper that is heat activated

[@sandramontague4053]

Hi Does it have to be a 4x6 label ? Does it have the ability to be smaller? And if so can I print out a custom label ?

[@SoyandShea]

Sorry, I have to ask if you have watched the whole video? I show using different sized labels and how to set them up.

[@sandramontague4053]

@@SoyandShea oh lol No o guess not I will keep watching 😳 sorry

[@sandramontague4053]

Hi again . Ok first thank you again for your reply I did go back and watch the whole video. I then ordered a munbyn . I’m now watching your set up video. Yesterday was a crazy day for me . I was very anxious about the last few steps feeling overwhelmed and like everything might fail . Your reply actually helped to slow my thoughts and let me get focused again . Have a great day 🙂

[@SoyandShea]

@@sandramontague4053 Like everything we do for the first time, it can be daunting. Just take it one step at a time and it will come together. The printer is really simple and you are not going to wreck it. The worst that can happen is putting the wrong size label or measurements and wasting a couple of labels. When you get it, read through the booklet first, then start following step by step and you will have it set up in no time and creating your own labels.

[@sandramontague4053]

@@SoyandShea thank you 😊

[@thage0]

Can I use the thermal slips that UPS send us for free ?

[@SoyandShea]

As I'm in Australia I really don't know. If you go to the Munbyn site, they advise which postal systems can be used with their different machines

[@chrissysphotography230]

I cant seem to print anything on labels .comes out blank ..

[@SoyandShea]

Maybe a silly question, but are you using thermal labels? If so, you may need to contact Munbyn in case it's a warranty issue

[@VictoriaRoss-uw6kr]

Please explain about barcodes

[@SoyandShea]

What exactly is it that you are wondering about as it is a fairly broad topic, one I have covered with my Patreon members.

[@user-zd8lf6vx3m]

Are there any other thermal printers that can use any labels plz?

[@SoyandShea]

There are quite a few. Google Thermal printers and lots will come up

[@xxsecretdreamerzxx]

I've been using phomemo. Pm246s is their regular shipping printer that uses usb and pm241bt is their Bluetooth that u can print from your phone wirelessly but still need usb for laptops

[@koubiele3332]

Does it print color ?

[@SoyandShea]

No. It doesn't have ink and uses heat to burn an image into special paper
