SeikoSeiko 650 Smart Label Printer

This is a useful printer for one-off labels or for runs of labels from a spreadsheet of data. This is the second one I've had. Easy to transfer the data file from computer to another - just copy the labels.sll file. I thought it had died on me recently, but found it was just an update to Win 10 that was upsetting it - got round it by transferring to another computer but maybe I could have updated the driver.

Now onto my third - I still ask myself WHY?... It is a great label printer BUT there is a repeating problem and that is the labels can get jammed. Usually when one tries to rewind half a label that has stopped. Seiko no longer do repairs but a firm in Kent do them - Unicomp - believe me its a right fiddle trying to get the label out or part of and also there is an amount of sticky stuff left. If you want to know how to do this see YouTube - really fiddly. But for this problem I would have given it 5 Stars. Also, I obtained a quote to have this minor repair done - £60.00+ - May as well buy a new printer then?

Purchased this in March 2017. Produced approximately 10 labels a month and now, October, it has ceased working and is completely dead...Not value for money.
