Monarch 925072 Pricemarker, Model 1131, 1-Line, 8 Characters/Line, 7/16 x 7/8 Label Size

It is a tool that I needed and the truth exceeded my expectations, it is very good and it is resistant

This is something I use not for pricing, but for marking expiration dates on stuff like food, vitamins, medications, etc., I'm a little OCD. I used to use a Sharpie, but I noticed it didn't show up very well on darker typed packaging. So, I got the idea to use one of these to see how I would like it. Well, I love it. It makes it very easy to see the expiration dates on the items I mark because of the tag, I use the white tags and black ink. I usually buy things in multiples and depending on how they are being stored, I may just mark the front top of it or the front top and the very top to make it easy to see different directions. The marking gun is easy to use and there are numbers and characters if you need them. It's easy to change what you need by just sliding the little knob in or out and turning it to whatever you want it on. I've probably used it at least 1,000 times so far and that was just within a few days of use. The tags print out sharp and they dispense and stick without problem. It has a good weight to it and feels very sturdy. I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend this to anyone looking for a pricing gun, even if it isn't for pricing.

This Monarch 1131 price gun was purchased for use in a small grocery store. At first, we were not too happy because the ink that came with the packaged gun was dried up -don't know if it had been sitting long on the shelf or was a previously used and returned item that we received. However, we replaced the ink cartridge and it now appears to be working fine. In addition, Amazon's customer service handled the matter of the ink to our satisfaction.So far, the gun prints stickers with consistent accuracy in the same spot on the labels (no cut off numbers). Also, it doesn't jam even when using it fast. For certain items -like frozen hot dog packages -I find it is better to just go crazy gently stamping the stickers to your fingers and then peel them off to stick to the odd shaped items. The plain white stickers (that came with the gun) stick fine. You can peel them off if you don't use a lot of pressure, but if you just use a bit more pressure or give them an extra slight press with your finger after applying they won't fall off and customers won't be able to peel them off easily without ripping the sticker. This helps prevent price tampering.The gun seems to be a heavier plastic and the dial knob to adjust the prices seems fine. I would expect this gun to last for at least 2-3 years with reasonable handling and even many more years if you baby it. It could probably handle a few drops, but I'm not going to test that out.The only negative I have at this point is that I find the price a bit high; however, it seems to be in line with the overinflated cost of price guns everywhere. I guess since it is a small industry, the manufacturers can do that. There are Chinese-made price guns that are up to 80% cheaper, but I would not consider buying them. They look like the wouldn't last more than a month. So, if you need a price gun... buy this with confidence. Just tell your workers to not handle it too rough or carelessly. If it doesn't get mishandled or dropped too hard, it should last you quite a while and justify its price.

Functional and serves its purpose. Concerned about the little dial that changes the numbers. It’s a little fragile. But all in all it’s easy to use and it serves its purpose pricing. For me it was a good choice

Bought over a year ago, I use it daily in my shop, and I drop it daily lol, and it still works like brand new.

PROS: Really easy to load. I mean *really* easy. Labels come out uniformly. The gun itself seems sturdily made.CONS: The number turner is on the right-hand side, making this effectively a left-handed device. The number turner looks flimsy and feels soggy, as though the stem is about to twist off in your fingers rather than turn the numbers.Notes:The printed price is deliberately at the bottom of the label, rather than centred. This means you can use pre-printed labels with your store name or SALE on the top half, but I assume the main reason for it is so that enough of the label is sticking out of the machine after printing that you can easily apply it to whatever you are pricing. With other labellers I find myself spending far too much time, and wasting far too many labels, trying to adjust the (constantly drifting) printing position so that the price is actually all on the same label, with the label sticking out far enough to be stuck to anything. The mechanism they use on this labeller to ensure it prints in the same place on every label works so well it doesn't need a manual adjustment screw. I love this!The image shown above (Nov 2014) is presumably of an earlier model - the one I was sent has a safety guard below the number turner so it doesn't get broken off when you lay it down on its side, or drop it, or catch it on something. As I mentioned above, the number turner appears flimsy. I'm expecting it to be the most likely thing to break first on this otherwise rugged machine....But since mine has not broken yet (I'll update if it does), I'm giving this labeller 5 stars for being what I wished I'd been using these past two decades.

All good

Poor quality. Numbers to not align and it doesn’t print labels correctly. Its useless. Do not recommend.
