What customers say about "Key Specs"

Epson LabelWorks LW-300 Label Maker

Prints great right out of the box but you can customize to your heart's content. You can adjust text and spacing in a myriad of ways; outline, borders, spacing, width, etc.
Can print up to 2 lines of text per label, a space saving feature I use often.
I LOVE that this product line has "iron on", "glow in the dark" and regular label tapes! I bought a few of each!!!! It has some VERY pretty borders/frames for the text as well!
I also love that you can choose between different fonts and write in two lines!
A little slow wile printing, but the price offsets the speed.
Very handy good price. The resolution of the text is a little poor. I wasn't expecting that.

Epson LabelWorks LW-400 Label Maker

Awesome - works prefect for making fabric ribbon labels which is why I bought this! Plenty of fonts and symbols.
Max font size at 12mm tape is quite impressive.
The speed of the printer is quick enough. I usually have 20 plus cables needing labels the LW-400 can keep up.
Prints just fine on third party, low-cost tapes. Print resolution is good.
The printing speed is also visible slower than competitors (Brother, Dymo) but this is not a big issue for this kind of printers.
Printing not sharp and crisp.

What customers say about "Features"

Epson LabelWorks LW-300 Label Maker

Once you have the options set right, it is awesome. It is really easy to turn on print your label and then turn off.
Printing different languages seems to be a strong suit of this labeler. It comes with many different fonts with everything from accent marks to umlauts.
Changing batteries and inserting different label tape is easy and intuitive.
The label tear-off backing is split down the middle to make backing removal easy. Some labelers don't have this often overlooked frustration saver.
It is a little difficult to understand how to change options on the Label Maker. The buttons are not intuitive to me, and the instructions are hard to read.
Doesn't come with an AC adapter, but you can buy one.
Doesn't come with a case which would be nice for storing or carrying the unit.

Epson LabelWorks LW-400 Label Maker

I really like this label maker. It's portable and fits nicely in your hand. The keyboard is nicely laid out and easy to type on. The screen is bright and clear.
Adjustable character spacing (narrow or wide)
Several different fonts. several different sizes. add borders or pictures.
Lots of colors of label tape available. Lots of borders and special characters.
Does not remember previous setting when powering back on (for example, character spacing and layout)
Manual setup requires the operator to thread the tape leader.
