And you can get those used on eBay if you look for around $40.
The print heads on the phomemo are low quality and will probably burn out after a couple months. More of a smear than a dot matrix.
Also would not feed properly on my 1"x2" labels. It would calibrate them fine but when it came to printing the platen roller would keep spinning and the labels would get stuck.
I'm pretty sure these cheap Chinese printer parts are made in the same factory so this applies to all the cheap brands.
Again I'm pretty picky on labels for my shipping packages. Would this satisfy the average person, maybe.
These are give or take all made by the same company in random chinese factory and re-badged with a random name brand.
I tried a bluetooth one I was hoping to do PC > Bluetooth but it didn't work so here I am with USB only. I am hesitant on installing random Chinese iphone/android app as well and realistically in 5 years time I doubt the apps will be supported anymore. I think the one I bought was like 15 bucks posted on SD here so sales happen often I think if you can wait out. If you are really set on the bluetooth one, I feel it could be cheaper (just search SD history for pricing)
Only thing I can say that can be annoying is if you don't feed it straight, it doesn't print out straight. I print once in awhile so I actually just feed one print at a time,
Community Reviews
The Phomemo PM64D is a budget 4 by 6 thermal shipping label printer that is best for quick eBay and Amazon labels, especially if you want peel and stick convenience without ink or tape. It prints directly from downloaded 4 by 6 labels, and the setup can work well once the default paper size is changed to 4 by 6. Print quality and reliability depend on the label stock and setup, though, and the touchscreen feels gimmicky. Bluetooth and network printing can take extra tinkering, so it suits low cost label printing more than a polished out of the box experience.
Common Questions (5)
It can produce usable shipping labels, but print quality depends heavily on the label stock. The included labels are described as poor, and higher-quality labels can improve output; for heavy-volume use, a Brother or Zebra is preferred for sharper prints and fewer hassles.
It has held up for hundreds to about 1,000 labels in some use cases and has been reported working after months of ownership. It is also described as a budget printer with shortcomings, so higher-volume sellers may prefer a Brother or Zebra for better support and less frustration.
Yes. It can print 4x6 shipping labels directly from downloaded eBay labels, and setting eBay defaults to 4x6 lets you print without first saving a PDF. For labels that come as a full-page PDF, printing the screenshot or PDF at 4x6 with auto-scale also works.
Bluetooth printing appears to be limited to the Labelife app, and it may not show up as a normal AirPrint printer on iPhone or Mac. A workaround is to connect it by USB to an always-on Linux box and expose it on the network as an AirPrint printer.
The touchscreen is described as more of a gimmick than a necessity. The printer's core value is the low entry price, not the touchscreen feature.

I put together a free, open-source fix. You plug the printer into an always-on Linux box by USB (a NAS, home server, etc.), and it shows up on your network as a normal AirPrint printer. After that you can print shipping labels straight from email, Safari, PDFs, eBay/Etsy/Pirate Ship pages, whatever, on any iPhone, iPad or Mac in the house, with no app and no Bluetooth pairing.
It uses an open-source driver instead of Phomemo's closed one. I checked its output byte-for-byte against the official driver, and it's identical.
It runs as one Docker container, with step-by-step setup in the README.
It's free, MIT licensed, and has no account or cloud.
What you need: a Linux machine with Docker that stays on, and a USB-A to USB-C cable. A C-to-C cable from a computer's USB-C port didn't work for me; the printer was never detected. If you don't have a home server, this one isn't for you.
I've only tested it on the PM64D. Other Phomemo/Labelife label printers may work, and the repo has a script to check yours against the official driver.
