Royal Mail label roll change — printers affected

Fix the 44mm label-roll problem in your thermal printer.

Royal Mail changed their rolls. We fixed your printer.

Royal Mail currently supplies 6×4 thermal label rolls with a 44mm internal core. In some compatible thermal printers, the larger core allows the roll to sit lower and drag against the printer base, causing poor or interrupted label feeding.

A small part. A costly irritation removed.

Why is your printer struggling to feed labels?

The larger core can let the roll sit lower on the spindle, so its outer edge rubs against the printer base. RollFix reduces the core opening and lifts the roll into a better feeding position.

01

Before RollFix

The roll catches on the printer base

Watch how the unsupported roll sits low and resists turning freely.

02

After RollFix

The roll is lifted into a better position

With the adapter fitted, the roll is supported higher and can turn more freely.
