The 1153 is a high-end handheld label gun that can print up to three lines on each of its 1.125" by 1" labels, which are available in at least three different colors.

According to the '08 ULINE catalog, this unit can print a maximum of twelve numbers or special characters on each line. The characters include things like "+TX" and "SET", printed vertically.

The above-mentioned catalog listed this Monarch model for $273 dollars (8.5% discount on three or more) and a box of 6,000 labels for $35. It costs more than the 1131, 1110, 1136, 1115, or 1155 models.

The font is larger on the last line. Single-line guns are often adequate, but this gun is useful for printing detailed price stickers which include extra information.
