Great Label Printer at a Great Price!

Pros Inexpensive, fast printing, easy to use, time-saver

Recommended it? Yes

I own a business where we ship out customer orders everyday. We have to print shipping labels for each order. I tried to save money by using laser printer sheets, but it started taking too much time to set it up each time. I knew there were faster ways of printing labels, but I felt I couldn't...

Very pleasant to use

15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Inexpensive, does not use up ink, easy to use
Cons Main program a little cluttered in interface
Recommended it? Yes

The P-Touch QL-500 is a label printer that connects to your Windows 2000 or XP PC (not sure if Vista is supported) and allows you to print custom labels with text and graphics. The labels will be printed on blanks sold by Brother but they are reasonably priced. As another reviewer points out, this... Read full review »

A Nice Device You Might Use......But Don't Need!

Recommended it? Yes

I recently received the Brother P-Touch QL-500 PC Label Printer as a gift and I don't know why. I do not print a lot of labels for anything and certainly not a whole lot of them at one time. But being a bit of a gadget freak, I thought I would give this little machine a go and see what it can do... Read full review »

Beware of the rebates

bylk808 Mar 6, 2006
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fast printing. Easy tape changes. Latest P-Touch software is fun to use.
Cons Limited label selection. Poor rebate handling makes other label printers a better value.
Recommended it? No

Note that this printer only takes Brother DK tapes and the selection is somewhat limited. Changing tapes is a breeze. I've been using the continuous roll waterproof tapes and they work well, but are expensive and somewhat hard to find. The software on the CD was outdated. Don't bother installing it...

Excellent Printer! Save Money By Using These Labels.

Pros Small, Fast, Quiet, Economical with the right type of labels
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

I've been using this printer for about a month and have been left with nothing less than a warm a fuzzy feeling. It performs admirably with every type of label I've thrown at it so far with not so much as a single problem.

If you sell on eBay and create shipping labels through Paypal's... Read full review »

Stay Away if you use a Mac (10.4)

bycptodd Aug 29, 2005
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great printing. Good price.
Cons The Mac Support SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
Recommended it? No

I purchased this printer a couple of days before (4/25/05) Mac OS X 10.4 hit the shelves. The printer was quite good at what it did until I received my copy of 10.4 on 4/29/05 (that is the day the OS was released). Granted much of the software was PC only (such as the Word plug-in) but they did... Read full review »

VERY Nice Label Printer

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Well-designed machine that turns out beautiful work. Supplies are reasonably priced.
Cons Software hard to figure out, documentation abundant but hard to understand.
Recommended it? Yes

I've wanted a label printer ever since I first saw one many years ago. But the printers and (especially) the labels were always too expensive to be cost-effective, so I made do with other ways of addressing envelopes and packages.

With this printer now available for well under $100, and... Read full review »

Will not buy another Brother Printer!

bybcarpman Oct 24, 2006
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Prints labels
Cons bad software, customer support, doesn't honor rebates
Recommended it? No

This prints labels just fine, however the software is proprietary and requires you to keep a separate address book just for labels if you want to use it properly. The program that supposedly works with Outlook is clunky and not particularly configurable.

Tech support STINKS!

Huge time saver

Pros Product is a huge time saver. Easily used by people who aren't computer smart.
Cons The only downside is finding stores that carry the different sized labeling tapes.
Recommended it? Yes

The QL-500 has saved our office over 100 hours in time spent hand addressing envelopes. We send out hundreds of calendars in December for the following year. Prior to owning this cute little machine, we did all of the addressing by hand. Which took several people with cramped up hands to... Read full review »
