Hi, I'm Ben Walker
Printer reviewer, tinkerer, and the person behind every guide on ColourLabelPrinter.
Ben Walker
Printer Reviewer & Editor · 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.
