BrotherQL-1050 Wide Format PC Label Printer

I liked it and would hve used. The problem is they are not compatible with Stamps.com. Which was my purpose in buying the product.

I bought this primarily for printing shipping labels for selling in eBay. After about a month of use this machine is a huge time saver! Worth every penny. I have it hooked up by my MacBook Pro and after abit of configuration it works perfectly. If you print a lot of labels and want something that's easy to use and reliable, look no further!

I bought this product because the advertisements all say "Prints 4x6 Shipping Labels."Once I received this printer, plugged it in, and called tech support, I was informed that while this printer does technically print shipping labels (only for Ebay or Paypal), it does NOT support or print labels through any of the main shipping companies: USPS, USP, or Fed Ex (unless you also subscribe to Endicia for $16 per month). I promptly returned it and called DYMO. Their 4xl printer is the only one I've found that prints typical shipping labels on a Mac computer through the major carriers. (They provide the Endicia software free of charge.) Be forewarned...

I am undecided on how I feel about this unit. It prints fast, easy to change between label widths (2.4" and 4" for me), and the quality is good. The only reason I am docking it a star and the reason why I am undecided about the unit is the random times when the label maker doesn't work at all. It'll throw a virtual fit and flash red and no matter what I do to try and fix it I cannot get it to work. I'll come back in 20 minutes and it'll work. Sometimes it occurs after printing a few hundred labels, of which then I'd understand, and then other times it will happen even if I haven't printed any labels that day.Here's a tip that I found out too, if you plug in your QL-1050 to an Airport Express you can make it a wifi-enabled label maker saving you money from having to buy the QL-1070 that has Wifi.

It works well, but don't like the fact that you can't use UPS labels. You have to use brother brand labels for this printer.

Great machine. I bought the Brother because: A. it was priced below $200 (lower than DYMO and Zebra), B. it had better product reviews than most other label printers, C. Brother has been a trusted brand for me, for years.I bought the machine to print 4" x 6" shipping labels, using Endicia. It works, though you'll need to configure the margin and scale settings in Endicia's 'Printer Setup' so that the print job fits within the 4" x 6" space. It was trial and error for me, and I went through about 6 labels to get it right.The attached screen shots capture the setting I used (Scale = 95%, Top Margin = 0.65, Left Margin = 1.25).I'm not sure why Endicia's 'Printer Setup' does not have a default "Brother" setting (it has a Zebra and DYMO), perhaps their relationship is not as "strong".Anyway, the machine is very well built, quiet and quick. Printed label quality is very professional looking. I would buy this machine again.

I have the brother ql-700 label maker and have used it everyday for past 2 years. It is awesome and works great with off brand labels. I needed the ability to print 4x6 and found an amazon warehouse price that was awesome and I am very satisfied with this wide printer. It functions just as good as the ql-700.

This is a quality label printer that I use to print labels for medication containers. I have stored all the templates for the different drugs and it is easy to simple add the information for each person and print. It is much better than the dymo that I also have used.I highly recommend this label printer and would buy it again if given a choice.

日本のドライバも使えました。しかも14,800で買えるなんて、米アマもよく利用していますがこちらはとってもお得でした。サプライが高いですけれどもラベルプリンタはブラザーが群を抜いてる感じですね。

ちょっと使いにくいかな。平行輸入だから？がんばって、設定を詰めてみますが。
