Easy installation, pathetic documentation, frustrating
Installation is easy -- the "quickstart" instructions for that are good. Trying to do anything NOT documented in the "quickstart" instructions, however, requires lots of trial and error and is VERY frustrating. Most of the online documentation is inaccurate or just plain missing. If I ever figure it all out on my own, I will probably like this printer. It's very convenient to be able to print single labels instead of whole sheets of them ... but that's a big "if." Who has that kind of time?

One of the worst printers I have ever seen
I bought this about a year ago because the Dymo was our of stock and I needed one for some sales materials. First off the software is terrible, it has a really bad time trying to crate printing lists (in fact I had to have Seiko support create a special file for me to get it to work with csv files. It also kept locking up, and I had to reinstall it twice because for some unexplained reason, after printing normally for a few months it started printing garbage. Uninstalling and reinstalling the...

Not worth it
A number of people in my office have Smart Label printers and they all work very well. I was one of two people to end up with the 420 and we both detest this model. The labels slip around after you start printing off just a few, so the text goes all over the place. I am constantly stopping my job and re-inserting the label. Constantly. I have come to dread having to make any label, because I sit there and have to essentially hand-feed the ribbon through to make sure everything is lined up correc...

Decent label printer
My workplace uses Seiko 420 and 450 label printers to print address labels and Code 39 barcodes. As with other reviewers, we have found that these printers have difficulty keeping output alignment straight when using labels less than the maximum height supported by the printer (i.e., the 1.13 x 3.5 inch small address labels), even when the label guides are fitted to the label roll. When the printer is upright, output tends to either slant towards one side of the label and can print outside the p...

It's been good to me so far
I have had the Smart Label Printer for over a year and haven't experienced the software issues that others have reported. I'm using a Macintosh, I don't know what the other raters are using (and I don't want to start a religious OS platform war!). I haven't experienced the skewing that another reviewer mentioned.So far, I've found the printer to be reliable. It does what I ask it to do. No complaints here so far.

Seyko Smart Label
Excellent product, I have customers who prefer this product for its easy use in the creation of label for multiple uses. Continue to acquire so frequent, but in recent days I have noticed an increase in its price worries me.

works great
very little problems with this label printer. It's been working well for over 5 years. I would buy another...and may. If all you need is a basic reliable label printer, It works fine. not sure where the software prbolems have come from for other reviewers. Maybe the key is keeping everything simple?
