Saved Reviews for Brother P-Touch QL-500 Label Printer review
-
My husband bought this for me this past Christmas. Being an eBay seller, this is great for printing all those mailing labels. Being a thermal printer, it uses no ink like my desktop printer does. Labels are much less expensive, you dont have to print out a page full, as with the desktop printer. No complaints so far.

We've long known that the inkjet manufacturers are making their money off of ink cartridges - now we know how they plan to make money off the low cost label printers - the labels.

labels average about $.03 each. Easy to set up. First program I've found that lets you clip a barcode from this program and paste it (as a bitmap)into Word. Nice to use computer instead of tiny keyboard as other PTouch. Irritation: it loads macros into all MS Office programs and security warnings go off every time you boot computer and open the applications! Otherwise, I love it.

If you print labels often and are looking for ways to save time/money, the Brother QL-500 is a good place to start. I wish I had done it sooner!

The value of owning this machine is directly proportional to the NEED for owning it. If you print a lot of labels often then by all means buy one.

The bottom line for me is that this is a very nice machine that prints nice labels with very little effort, and at a reasonable cost. I'm glad I spent the money.

The QL-500 is easy to set up and very easy -- and fun -- to use. Making customized labels has never been so easy. I wish the QL-500 could operate on batteries and were slightly slimmer and lighter, and I wish the labeling program were a little more user-friendly -- but for less than fifty bucks, this is the best PC peripheral I've bought in a long time. Plus, Brother makes and sells all kinds of label blanks at reasonable prices, so your creativity is your only limit.
