Brother QL-700 High-Speed, Professional Label Printer

This Label Printer is very easy to set up and produces great results on paper labels of various sizes, some of which are included with the product. The basic download from included disc has many of the commonly used functions. I have not yet tried the advanced set up. The unit is light and easy to transport between computers and offices, making it even more versatile. It is definitely worth the price!

Warning: windows 10 users must download drivers and software from their website before installing. After that, it works great.

Dont Waste your money unless youve got a 10 year old computer to hook this up to, dont waste your time or money. There are no drivers in existence for anything after windows 8. AND ITS NOT RETURNABLE AFTER 5 DAYS SINCE PURCHASE. Ive been ripped off!!!!

Excellent Printer, Excellent seller and would strongly recommend to anyone if is looking for a label printer this is purely the best and priced very well, plus track record is excellent, its stunningly awesome printer best money ever spent plus you can buy the label rolls for super cheap, if you ship a lot this is the best solution trust me I was tired of printing and reprinting shipping labels using my inkjet, this label printer will pay for itself very fast

Before I begin this review let me lay it down for all potential international buyers (like myself). - this is a 115V ONLY machine. If your country operates on 115V then all is good but if you are on a 220-230V supply like me youll need a step-down converter - though the machines power label states this machine as 115V/1.7A I have been able to operate this on a 60W wall-plug transformer - despite all minor annoyances you are still looking at a substantial amount of savings as it retails for US$148 where Im from ---Build Quality--- - it is larger than the photos suggest but with a comparable footprint to earlier models - it is heavy but this ensures it stays on your desk with little chance of it getting accidentally knocked off - glossy plastic used is a fingerprint magnet - if you are using aftermarket labels without the caddy you will have problems feeding a roll into an empty caddy from the rear (hinge space) as the space is really tight in there ---The Machine Itself--- - standard buttons such as feed, cut, power and Editor-Lite (more on this later) - pilot lights are not obnoxiously bright - on the economy mode print quality is acceptable on tiny font size < size 8 - nice, grippy rubber feet so it stays on the desk ---Machine Driver/ Running as Networked Printer--- - driver installation was smooth but do follow the instructions to the T - you need to disable Editor-Lite by long pressing the button before you connect the USB cable to your PC during driver install. If you dont do so driver will not install properly - I connected this to a W7 64-bit desktop and the supplied driver works right off the bat - I then tried connecting this to my home server (WHS2011) and the W7 64-bit driver works for this install too. This turned my label printer into a networked printer with WHS2011 as the print server - the driver deployment wizard (Brother BRAdmin Professional) works and installed the driver and utilities onto all my networked machines (clients). - no indication of how much memory is in this printer (if any) but if you run more than one instance of print job it slows down a bit Machine Software and Utilities - if you are running MS Office on your machines Brother will install an add-on for you to import data into the P-Touch editor software - database linking is buggy... seriously, you guys have been at this for years and STILL havent fixed this issue - if you deal with XLS files then it sometimes works better if you convert the file to CSV before importing it into P-Touch Editor - lots of templates to download for free - if you print just the odd label here and there then all these wont matter - firmware and software updating tool works well and is very intuitive. I suggest updating it the very first time you run the software - Editor-Lite Software allows you to quickly print a label by skipping P-Touch editor. The software is built into the printer but can be disabled. When enabled you will see a new drive appears in your My Computer page, it appears as a removable drive. I disable it by default. ---Bottomline--- It works and for the low price they are selling this for it is just too good to pass on. If you have an older version Id stick to the older machine as there is little in terms of upgrade. If you do not have a label printer then just get this. Its a lot cheaper than what they are charging for their older machines and if you run an e-commerce business like I do it helps to have 2 printer loaded with 2 different sized labels so you do not need to change rolls all the time. P.S. English is not my native language so please excuse my grammar. Update - Ive put 5 rolls of labels through this machine and it is still working fine. So far none of my print jobs have had issues but it doesnt do well for fine graphics (expected). If you are printing maps for example the print quality isnt acceptable unless it is a custom drawn map with thick lines. It does vector graphics okay; icons, banner images etc.

I ended up purchasing this after my QL-570 label printers were having some odd print driver issues (which eventually cleared themselves up). Concerning the hardware, the only major changes from the

So far this product has been fantastic. I dont use it every day but works well when I need to print labels, address labels and etc. The software works great with my Mac. Have no issues!

Pure disappointment - This poor quality printer only works with their poor quality software. The Brother company is unwilling or unable to integrate their products to work with something as as simple as a web browser....thats right folks...unless youre planning on printing from Brothers 1990s P-Touch software (and I truly mean this baby has that classic windows 98 interface) Spend the extra money for a ZEBRA printer and save yourself a lifetime of hassle.....or buy this and basically purchase a fun problem with no solution.

I just love this thing. The labels are easy to print out and look great!

This item was just what I was looking for. Easy to use once installed and very convenient. You can print one label or 1000 at time.
