The MUNBYN Shipping Label Printer 941 is one of the fastest-label printers on the market. This printer is most at home in busy working environments and its excellent build quality enables it to withstand any knocks that come its way. Labels up to 4.3 inches in width are accepted but the 203 DPI is a little disappointing. The unit is compatible with all the most popular operating systems and supports USB-A connectivity.
The ability to print labels between 1.57 inches and 4.3 inches makes this a very useful printer indeed. The printer does all the hard work of detecting the printer size and printing accordingly.
It's not the fastest on the market but it's not far off. At 150mm per second, the MUNBYN 941 is able to shift through around 72 labels per minute. That's the sort of speed that will suit any small- to medium-sized setup.
The printer works across all major platforms and will print labels from Etsy, Shopify, eBay, Amazon, Poshmark, Ship Station, Shipping Easy, Shippo, Ordoro, Endicia Dazzle, Shipwire, Shipworks, Stockx, Xps Ship, and all other major shipping and selling platforms.
The MUNBYN 941 is able to instantly convert from 8x11 to 4x6 labels, which drastically reduces the conversion workload that is common in other workflows.

MUNBYN Label Printer RealWriter 941: Design & Handling
The build quality of the MUNBYN Shipping Label Printer 941 is almost as good as it gets at this price point. The plastic case is made from a mixture of black and white plastic, which makes it robust enough to handle regular usage. I think the unit would benefit from a little bit more weight to ensure it stands more sturdily on a desk but aside from that, it's hard to find anything problematic with the build quality.
The labels are loaded by pressing the 'open' button on top and opening the lid. The hinge is off to one side and is substantial enough for there to be no issues with constant opening and closing. The 'arm' also clicks nicely when it has reached a 90-degree position and does not suffer from being able to be rotated beyond its limit.
I think the biggest issue with this design is that there is nowhere to store the labels so they have to sit annoyingly behind the unit on the desk. That is unless you purchase a separate roll holder. I much prefer the Brother QL-1100c, which is able to store the roll of labels inside itself. This provides a much tidier solution.
MUNBYN Label Printer RealWriter 941: Performance
Two of the most important things for a label printer are speed and reliability. The MUNBYN 941 delivers on both fronts. The printing of 72 labels per minute puts it in direct competition with the Brother QL-1100c. This speed is pretty impressive and is only let down by the lack of an automatic cutting tool. For completeness, there is a serrated edge for manual cutting.
I didn't experience any reliability problems and even if I had to open the top, the machine was able to recalibrate and reposition the labels quickly and accurately.
I know these are only labels but I think the performance of the printer is let down by only being able to print 203 DPI. The definition of text is not as clear as it could be so only get this printer if high resolution isn't paramount.
MUNBYN Label Printer RealWriter 941: Verdict
The MUNBYN 941 label printer is a well-made label printer that does the basics well but lacks any advanced features that might set it apart from the rest. The device is really easy to set up and only requires connecting to a power source and your computer via USB-A. The lack of wireless printing is a shame and limits the usability of the printer. The benefit of a cabled solution is speed and that's where the MUNBYN 941 comes into its own. Not only is it instant but it's also able to print 150mm per second, which equates to 72 labels per minute. MUNBYN has done well to create a good-performing printer at a budget-friendly price point.
