I was a little concerned about buying this due to talk of compatibility issues and poor software. But the QL-700 - USB only - connects fine to my MacBook Pro M4. Software downloaded from Apple app store and is very stable and user friendly. Quality of print is very high resolution and sticks well to most surfaces. More than met my expectations.

Excellent label printer. You need to download software and a driver for your PC - somewhat quirky to install but works fine. The P-Touch program you use to layout and print labels looks dated but is functional. I use the printer much more than I thought I would. If I was buying it again, I would probably get the WiFi version.

I first purchased this printer 2 years ago to print self adhesive address labels. As some other reviews have indicated, the set up can be tricky as I found initially. A quick internet search soon pointed me to a video clip on youtube which showed me how to update the firmware on the supplied printer to enable it to communicate with my Windows 10 LapTop. From then on the printer worked with zero issues, being incredibly easy to use and reliable 100%. I use it in the simple mode, utilising its excellent built in "PtLite10.exe" program, so as not to need any software on the lap top to operate it. Since then, two years ago, this little printer has printed out over 50,000 self adhesive address labels, and it amazes me how its self cutter blades have still not yet gone blunt! Because I can not believe that this little printer can go on much longer, I just took delivery of a second one as a spare. It too required a firmware update to work with Windows 10, as previously. It will now be kept as a spare should the first one decide that it needs to retire! Just on running costs for information: Labels and consumables: With this being a thermal printer, it saves a fortune not needing any ink, so ignoring its tiny power consumption, the only running costs are the labels that are used. I have only every used the "compatible type" labels for my needs, and they have proved superb and at a fraction of the cost you might pay for original Brother ones. Final important consideration on choice of address labels: If you aim to put this printer through its paces printing lots of labels, it is tempting to use the "continuous" labels (one continuous length of label cut off as required) , as the cutter chops off the label at the end of the longest line of text (seemingly more economical as less paper used), unlike using fixed length individual labels which are always cut at the end of (in between) each label. I moved over to fixed length individual labels for this key reason: The cutter blade on fixed length labels only has to go through the thin backing sheet. On continuous length labels, when the text ends, the cutter has to chop through all of the backing paper, a film of adhesive, and the label paper itself. That combination with the continuous labels would I expect, soon cause the cutting blades of this printer to get clogged up or blades made dull if using in volume. In Conclusion, aside from the Firmware updates I needed with both purchases, this printer gets maximum points from me for pure durability and ease of operation.

Il est conseillé de télécharger le logiciel adapté, pour pouvoir utiliser l'imprimante dans son plein potentiel. Le soft automatique est rapide et suffit a imprimer simplement. Le logiciel complet permet l'usage de la couleur rouge sur une des bandes fournies, de tous les formats et options possibles! Elle est tres rapide en impression N&B et + longue en impression rouge, c'est normal. Je la trouve plus facile d'utilisation que son équivalent Dymo,a ce propos les bandes sont beaucoup plus facile a installer sur cette petite Brother. Pour le prix elle est parfaite. *Attention, les bandes générique ne permettent pas l'impression en rouge, mais pour du consommable en grande quantité, en N & B, des génériques font tout aussi bien le job.

Venendo da una leitz icon che dopo poco più di un anno inspiegabilmente si rifiutava di connettersi in wifi, ho deciso di sostituirla con questo modello. Premesso che ne faccio un uso saltuario, anche se a distanza di qualche mese un paio di cartucce bicolore (rosso/nero) le ho usate, posso tranquillamente affermare che il prodotto si è dimostrato davvero eccellente sotto ogni punto di vista. Certo le cartucce non costano poco ma la differenza dalle compatibili si vede davvero. Installazione del prodotto molto semplice, manuali e sw (pc e cell) in italiano, quest'ultimo decisamente versatile e completo. Per quanto mi riguarda promossa a pieni voti. NB: cercando i ricambi non è passata inosservata la vers. completamente a colori, ovvero Brother VC-500W che mi arriverà venerdì. Quest'ultima sarà destinata per un etichettatura più professionale dato che la pellicola è lucida e a colori, ma anche più parsimoniosa dal momento che la lunghezza della cartuccia è la metà di questo modello: 5mt contro i 10mt e naturalmente decisamente più costosa. Tuttavia insieme ritengo siano complementari. In ogni caso scriverò una recensione più approfondita nella pagina del prodotto appena mi arriverà.

La brother non si smentisce, sempre prodotti di qualità. C'è un software integrato per la gestione della stampa, per il resto bisogna scegliere solo le etichette delle dimensioni che si vuole.

Sortant d'une mauvaise expérience avec une Dymo, cette imprimante est le jour et la nuit ! Connexion réseau et impression simplissime depuis un Mac ou un iPhone avec les apps Brother sur le store. Je ne regrette vraiment pas mon achat. Par ailleurs l'utilisation d'un rouleau continu avec la découpe automatique est vraiment économique pour l'impression d'étiquette code barres. Parfait !

Nice one.
