Product ReviewsBrother QL700 Label Thermal Printer

great! but tricky to set up on Windows 10

wow, and wow-wow. I love being able to print labels at supersonic speeds and very, very easily. Designing my label layout was super easy and looks great. The 'ink' is waterproof/smearproof, which was my main concern.

Now for the reason I said it wasn't easy to set up: I downloaded the windows 10 drivers just fine. After that, you need to install software from the CD (this step is not noted anywhere) while making sure the middle green light on the printer is off. Once that's done, it works great!Read full review...

Brother P60

Very happy with this label printer. Easy to set up and labels are clearly printed. It looks good and doesn’t take up a lot of space beside my pc. It gives my parcels the professional look I wanted. Still playing with all the features clip art etc. Well worth the money as buying personalised labels would cost a lot more in the long run. Definitely 5*****Read full review...

good but basic and bland

its brilliant if you think bland and basic is the best no easy instructions its just a case of trial and error to get it to print the labels you want to print. its like you think you are in control then you find out the printer has a say. and you don't get what you think is going to pop out the printing end result.Read full review...

Great bit of kit

Wanted it for printing sandwich labels, wasn't sure if it was up to the job. After reading the reviews and a bit research which were all good I bought one. It's absolutely what I needed but never expected. My labels look very professional and has my logo on and the print quality is excellent. Highly recommendedRead full review...

Brother QL-700 Label Printer - Outstanding

I bought this printer after reviewing what was on the market, what they can do, price, and users feedback. I particularly liked the fact that it can use both precut continuous address labels on a roll as well as continuous label strip with it's own inbuilt guillotine. This latter ability I have found particularly useful as I have created labels of various sizes for all sorts of things.

The printer comes with an inbuilt program called "Editor Lite" which in theory should fire up when the printer is connected to your computer via USB and switched on. This never worked, and you always got the "Windows" "Found New Software" and though I tried all various ways of getting this to fire up, it never did. I was using XP Pro SP3 and though this OS has just been replaced with Windows 8 with Windows 7 in between according to the manual it should work. I installed the full blown "Editor 5" that was on the accompanying CD and that I found was very useful. Not only does it enable to create your own labels it also comes with some templates of office and safety labels. It also has some pre made borders that you can use to enhance you labels for special occasions. The fact that it can use continuous labels means that it can also be used for banners.

I would recommend is that once you have installed the software you update the drivers, and the software including the additional label templates, etc. I would also suggest trying to purchase when Brother have the special deal of an extended warranty of three years and cash back. For both of these you have to register on-line with Brother and for the latter supply a copy of your invoice.Read full review...

Fast Printing, Easy to use Software, and can use compatible products too.

Brilliant upgrade from our Q!570 label printer we had, This is faster, and with printing in 2 colors (Black & Red), makes it easier for labels to stand out for more important things.
Excellent seller, with really fast distributing and postage. Would highly recommend if you want to upgrade from your basic Bland & White LabelsRead full review...

Definitely not plug & play, but......

On Windows 10, the instructions to download and install the data are misleading. DO NOT leave the ‘lite’ light on on the printer, nothing installs until this is switched off.
Once you’ve got it working, both the software and the printer are brilliant. The auto cut function gives you precision tickets and labels and there are loads of designs to choose from.
The 62mm rolls offer most versatility and the finish of the labels is very professional. You’ll be looking for things to print!!
If this machine was wireless, it would be awesome!Read full review...

Worked immediately and without instructions. Used it to print labels from MS Access Reports

Very easy to use. No problems. Works with MS Access reports (which I use to print labels from form events).

Cant fault it.

Excellent for the money, it takes a while to get the hang of printing sizes but really simple once you know how. Its great you can buy lots of different size labels and printing speed is super fast too.Read full review...
