What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent about speed: its details state 72 pages_per_minute, while feature text claims up to 72 4x6 labels per minute and 150 mm/s. Treat these as listing claims, not verified performance. Compatibility details also vary by connection: the app handles Bluetooth printing, while desktop USB support is stated for Windows, Mac OS, and Chrome OS. Confirm your device and workflow before purchase.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Small sellers or home shippers who want monochrome thermal labels and can use the NELKO app or a supported USB setup.
- Buyers printing a mix of shipping and smaller labels within the listed width range.
Less suited to
- People needing color output or a multifunction printer.
- Mac users who require Bluetooth printing, since the listing specifies USB for Mac OS.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Nelko PL70E-BT print without ink?
The listing describes direct thermal printing, which uses thermal labels instead of ink or toner.
Can I print from a phone?
The listing says iOS and Android devices print through the NELKO app over Bluetooth. It says devices cannot connect to the printer directly over Bluetooth.
Can I use it with a Mac?
Mac OS printing is listed via USB only. The listing separately mentions Bluetooth support for M1 or M2 Macs through the app, so those statements are inconsistent. Confirm support for your Mac and intended connection before buying.

The feature text gives label widths from 1.54" to 4.1"(40-104 mm), including examples such as 4x6, 3x2, 3x1, and 2x1 labels. It also says both roll and fanfold labels can be used.
