jrogers397 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Just looking for any feedback on this printer, I know it was discussed awhile back but wondering if anyone has had a chance to really use it and would you recommend it. What model does anyone here have. Thanks so much.Janis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymber Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I haven't ordered mine yet but it is definately on my list of "I have to have". The person I order my custom labels from.......uses this label printer and the labels are wonderful! The other thing that wasn't mentioned in the other string.....I found a supplier for these labels that carries several different sizes so you don't have to order so many of one size from the Manufacturer.....I think they have a certain minimum on any they consider custom. And I think she (the person who had just bought one of these printers) said she had to buy a minimum of each of the sizes she wanted and her label order alone was over $400 through the manufacturer.

I haven't decided which one but leaning towards the LX400 because it seems to accomodate all the sizes I need.....and is a $1000 cheaper. I need to do more research on them so I make sure and get the right one for me.....but I guess I can always upgrade down the road if I need to.

my3lilrugrats Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I was the one who bought the primera printer, LX400. I got it a couple weeks ago and just used it to do a custom order, last week I had for a sweet 16. It took awhile to get the print setting right to print on the size label I was using perfectly..we wasted quite a few labels BUT I saved the print setting for that size so next time it'll be no problem. I must say it printed beautifully! I will take a picture of the candle I made so you all can see..but first I have to charge my battery for my camera..lol. As far as the labels..that is where it got expensive for me. The sizes I needed from them were on there custom die list (ones they've made in the past but aren't their stock sizes so I didn't have to pay the plate charge). If you buy labels off their custom die list they make you buy a minimum of 4 rolls in each size you want and each roll is about $56, so I bought 2 sizes which ended up being $448 BUT if you order their stock sizes which they list on their website, they're really cheap, unfortunately for me, none of them would work for my jars.

Vicky_CO Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I am looking forward to your pics I am still investigating and waiting on taxes so unless I hear something really bad between now and then I will most likely be buying one also.

Kymber Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Labels by the Sheet stocks a bunch of these labels in different sizes for the LX810 I think.....not sure if they work in the 400 model or not? I am still investigating that. She also sells the printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrogers397 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 yeah, if the labels she sells will work with the 400 that is what I would go with as well. I need to take the time and investigate this as well. I wonder if the gal from labels by the sheet could tell us.JanisLabels by the Sheet stocks a bunch of these labels in different sizes for the LX810 I think.....not sure if they work in the 400 model or not?

my3lilrugrats Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Labels by the sheet from what I see sells the labels, printer, cartridges for the same price as Primera does. There are other websites though that sell the stock labels cheaper but for the custom sizes I haven't found anyone who sells them other than the manufacturer.
