The 405B label printer redefines smart printing with a seamless blend of accessibility, versatility, and sustainability—perfectly tailored for small businesses, home users, and creative makers.
It features modular, swappable print heads that transform a single compact device into multiple printing solutions. In just five seconds, and with no tools needed, users can effortlessly switch between the Standard Head (supporting monochrome or dual-color printing, perfect for shipping labels), the High-Resolution Head (engineered for crisp details in journaling decorations and DIY crafts), and the Full-Color Head (designed for vibrant photos and custom stickers). This design dramatically reduces maintenance costs by allowing replacement of only the worn component, while also enabling the recycling of used print heads, creating a closed-loop lifecycle that makes sustainable choices simpler.
Engineered for reliability, the unique 38.5° angled paper feed system guides sheets smoothly into the printer, reducing paper jams by 99.99%. The combination of angled insertion and auto-suction enables fast, effortless loading, while a simple tap of the rewind button automatically ejects the paper for easy removal. Printing is refreshingly simple: open the app, pick a template, and print—just three steps. Built-in cloud printing allows teams to collaborate seamlessly from anywhere, turning remote workflows into smooth, real-time experiences. The app also offers a rich template library, including journal borders, drink labels, and pet name tags. Users can customize and combine them freely, making every print both fun and functional.
It reimagines printer aesthetics through its dual-L geometric structure—a deliberate departure from traditional boxy forms. This sleek design strikes a balance between compact proportions and visual lightness. Whether placed on a retail counter, an office desk, or at home, it integrates as gracefully as it functions. Clad in matte white with metallic accents, the printer exudes quiet sophistication, reflecting a design language that merges Apple’s “Calm Technology” ethos with MUJI’s simplicity. Meanwhile, screw holes and parting lines are thoughtfully concealed, creating a clean, elegant appearance. More than just a functional device, the 405B label printer feels like a refined piece for tech-infused lifestyles.
