I have a small private practice and like most things marketed for doctors, this has an inflated "Doctors only " price tag so it''s not for occasional home use. I first tried the Dymo 4" for half the price but it was not up to the task it can''t handle continuous rolls and no automatic cutter. (See my review: DYMO LabelWriter 4XL, 4" x 6" Label Printer) I would have bought the Brother 4" Brother QL-1050 Wide Format PC Label Printer but it is too narrow to handle most Rx rolls.

This printer is meant to be used with EHR software. It''s heavy and noisy and not conveniently portable, but can print out 15 prescriptions in less then 15 seconds. Set up is for the IT professional or expert user and not the faint of heart; the software interface and paper setup took about an hour, but it''s worth it. With the thermal Rx rolls I use, prescriptions are nearly impossible to alter or forge. I''m not sure if the key lock is really necessary, but maybe provides some peace of mind. It can use just about any 4" thermal rolls with or without timing marks. I haven''t gone the way of eprescribing yet because only a handful of chain pharmacies accept CII electronically, so I''ll be using this for another year or two, then probably shelf it. It''s worth it to me in the meantime.
