Hi, I'm Ben Walker
Printer reviewer, tinkerer, and the person behind every guide on ColourLabelPrinter.
Ben Walker
Printer Reviewer & Editor ยท Reading, UK
12+ years buying, breaking and reviewing printers. Former IT support engineer turned full-time printer nerd. My workshop currently has four 3D printers, two label printers and a stack of inkjets I definitely don't need.
What ColourLabelPrinter covers
Three things, done properly:
- 3D Printing: filament guides, buyer reviews, honest cost breakdowns, troubleshooting walkthroughs and small-business tips.
- Label Printers: real-world picks for eBay, Amazon FBA, Etsy, Royal Mail, Shopify and small business shipping.
- Home & Office Printers: laser vs inkjet, brand shootouts, and the best printers for people who print once a month.
How I review
Where possible I buy the gear with my own money, use it for weeks, and write up what actually happened, including what broke, what worked better than expected, and who I'd recommend it to. Where I can't physically test something, I say so, and I lean on UK-specific data like PCMag, Trusted Reviews, r/3Dprinting and real Amazon UK reviews rather than US-only sources.
What you won't find here
No pay-to-play rankings, no copy-pasted manufacturer spec sheets, and no "best of 2026" lists that are just the first ten Amazon results. If a printer is mid, I'll say it's mid.
Affiliate disclosure
Some links on this site are Amazon Associates affiliate links. If you buy through one I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That's what keeps the lights on. Recommendations are never influenced by commission rates. I'd rather lose the sale than recommend the wrong printer.
