House of Marley tip
Bought in a store rather than online? You have to return it to that same retailer - House of Marley itself only handles returns for orders placed directly on its own site.
Rollo tip
Rollo printers only work with their own labels or compatible thermal stock, so before returning a printer as 'defective,' confirm you're using the right label size and type - a lot of print-quality complaints trace back to mismatched labels, not the hardware.
