Overview
A built-in automatic cutter and drop-in DK label rolls do the work in this thermal desktop printer, which needs no ink or toner. Labels come out on paper or film stock and are cut clean, from single address labels to long banners.
P-touch Editor and the Microsoft Office add-ins pull names and addresses straight from Word, Excel and Outlook, which speeds up mailing lists. The single USB link is the limit, with no network or wireless option listed.
Who it's for
Small business owners, home office workers and organizers who print address labels, file tags and small signs from a PC or Mac get a printer that is ready out of the box. People who want to print from a phone or share one printer across a network will be held back by the USB-only connection.
Pros and cons
- No ink or toner to replace
- Auto cutter gives clean edges
- Works with Word, Excel and Outlook
- Paper and film label support
- USB is the only connection

Performance notes
Thermal printing uses heat on the DK media itself, so output quality depends on the roll and there is nothing to dry or smear. The cutter trims each label to length automatically, which is what makes continuous tape usable for both short labels and long banners.
