Our verdict

A fast desktop label printer for anyone printing address, folder or badge labels in volume, with red as a second color. It runs on Brother DK rolls, and nothing wider than its maximum roll width.

Overview

A home seller or office manager gets a thermal label printer that turns out address, package and name badge labels without ink or toner. Brother DK drop-in rolls load into the unit, and the two color roll adds red to black text.

Thermal printing removes ink and toner from the routine, so the only supply is the label roll. Red needs one specific roll, and the narrow maximum width limits it to address and small package labels.

Who it's for

Online sellers, mailrooms and front desks printing stacks of address and badge labels get a quick wireless unit. Those needing wide carton labels should look at a wider format thermal printer.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • No ink or toner to replace
  • Red and black on two color rolls
  • Prints from phones over Wi-Fi
  • Built-in cutter for die cut and continuous
Cons
  • Built around Brother DK roll supplies
  • Narrow maximum label width
  • Red needs the DK 2251 roll
  • Battery for mobile use sold separately

Performance notes

A thermal head darkens the label stock directly, so speed depends on label length and content with no drying time. The built-in cutter trims die cut and continuous rolls, and its rated life is long. Wireless jobs depend on the network, while USB gives a direct link to one computer.
