This printer was not what I expected, but it is. Amazon’s Niimbot D11 Label Maker is the top-selling black Friday printer. It was not the one you would use to print a document, or a picture. However, three of Amazon’s top five printers are the Niimbot D11 label makers. This is a good indicator of how popular these cute, tiny printing machines are.
It includes a 1200mAh battery which can last up to four hours and 160 pieces 12x40mm label tape. Bluetooth can be used to operate the printer from iOS and Android via the Niimbot App. Although we haven’t tested it yet, it should work with any desktop computer (Mac or Windows).
You don’t have to purchase ink and toner. There’s no additional running cost other than the cost for the labels. The sticker options are nearly limitless.
Keep in mind that the label maker can only print monochrome. While you can print on a colorful label or one with funky designs, the only option is to print in black (not grey).

Amazon offers a wide range of label printers, and the Niimbot D11 may be the most sought-after. However, the Phenomeno D30 is worth looking at.
