Overview
Printing address labels, file tags and small signs from a computer is the work of this Brother desktop label printer, which uses heat on DK paper and film rolls instead of ink. A built-in cutter trims each label or a long banner.
Pulling names straight from Word, Excel and Outlook makes mailing list labels quick. It connects by USB only and prints black on narrow rolls, so full-size shipping labels need a wider printer.
Who it's for
Small offices, teachers and organizers get fast labels with no ink to replace. Sellers printing large carrier labels or working from a phone should choose a wider wireless printer.
Pros and cons
- No ink or toner needed
- Fast batch printing
- Pulls data from Office apps
- Works on Windows, Mac and Linux
- USB only, no wireless
- Black output only
- Narrow label width
- Needs proprietary DK rolls
Performance notes
Print speed comes from direct thermal printing, where the head darkens heat-sensitive DK media without ink. The quoted speed applies to standard address labels at a lower resolution, so dense graphics print slower.
