Which thermal printers work well with NotBot, based on real usage data across thousands of prints.

Last updated 2026-05-23 · Applies to NotBot 1.3.4+

Which thermal printers work well with NotBot? Models listed here have consistent track records with real NotBot users during live shows.

These printers are the most popular among NotBot users and run reliably during live shows. If you're buying a thermal printer for NotBot today, start here.

  • Rollo (X1040, original Rollo Printer). Extremely popular.
  • Munbyn (ITPP130, ITPP941, RW403B, RW405B). Popular.
  • Jadens (JD-268BT, JD-468BT, JD-668BT, C10). Extremely popular. The C10 is also branded Beeprt BY-C10 under a different label.
  • iDPRT (SP320, SP410BT, SP460BT). Solid.

Most of these are 4x6 shipping-style thermal printers in the $100-$200 range. They share a common underlying chipset and "just work" with NotBot once their manufacturer driver is installed.

Tier 2: Works reliably, lower volume

These printers also run reliably with NotBot but are less commonly used. Safe to buy if you already own one or have a strong preference.

  • Brother QL-800, QL-1110NWB
  • DYMO LabelWriter 4XL, LabelWriter 550 Turbo
  • Zebra GX420d, ZP 450, ZSB DP14, ZD-series
  • Beeprt BY-426 (also their version of the Jadens C10)
  • POLONO PL60, PL70e-BT, PL80E
  • Phomemo D450, D520
  • 4BARCODE 4B-2054A, 4B-2054K, 4B-2063C, 4B-3044B

Brother and DYMO printers feed labels in portrait orientation (short side first). The others on this list feed in landscape. Set the matching Feed Direction in Settings → Printer Configuration after you select the printer.

Small portable label printers

Small portable label printers (the pocket-sized 2-inch and 3-inch models often sold as Bluetooth-only "phone printers") do not currently work well with NotBot. Their drivers typically don't expose the printer to your computer's regular print system the way larger thermal printers do, which is the path NotBot uses.

If you're shopping for a printer specifically for NotBot, look at the desktop thermal printers in the Tier 1 and Tier 2 lists above. They start around $100 new and are designed for the kind of volume a live show produces.

If you're using a printer that isn't listed here, it doesn't mean it won't work. We just don't have a strong enough signal to recommend it specifically. Try it with the manufacturer's driver installed, and use the Print Test Label button in Settings to confirm it works before going live.
