Epson Label Editor Mobile

After owning several handheld label makers, I must say this little wonder has been a real breath of fresh air. Extremely easy to use and it prints wonderfully clear and crisp labels. I honestly couldn’t be more satisfied!

The software is good as far as manufacturer-mandated software goes. I’m not constantly bumping into breaking bugs or anything like that. It’s still unpleasant to use, though. Custom fonts mostly work, but sometimes have intermittent issues where text boxes lose their kerning. Saving/reloading the label usually fixes the problem. The alignment tools are sufficient for small labels, though more features for layout and placement, like adjustable grid lines at minimum, would be very helpful. The lack of any current label-specific features beyond size detection is really unfortunate, too. It would be great if the app could tell me what color of label the currently inserted cartridge is so I don’t have to open up my printer or do a test print to find out. And some specialty labels like the cable wrap labels would benefit a ton from having specialized UI for their specific limitations and features. I could go on, but small deficiencies in the feature set like explained above add up to the point where most of my saved labels aren’t for label content that I’d like to reuse, but instead are a set of templates I have made to work around various limitations of the software. The minimum functionality to print is there, I have yet to need to print a label where the software was totally incapable of getting the job done, but this has come at a great cost to my time and patience.
