straightforward, nice quality labels
I returned another label printer and got this one, and I am glad I did. This label printer is very easy to use. In the Editor Lite mode, you don’t even need to download any drivers – you can just create your labels on your laptop, print, and boom you’re done. That’s all I need – I just need to print decent quality envelope labels for a small business. This printer is also cute. My kids think it looks like a T-rex, so we might nickname it Dino or Rexi. 🙂

Great Personal Label Maker
I bought this to label items to rake to the nursing home where my mother was. Sadly, she did not make it to truly use it for that purpose. Since then, I have used this to label jars of canned goods. I love the fact that I do not have to use whole sheets of labels for 4 or 5 labels yet can do a dozen or more just as easily. The software is fairly easy and can create labels on the fly.

Total waste of money.
Total waste of money. I have a Mac and the instructions were beyond confusing, and I was not able to download the software and printer drivers.

For mobile usage: Turn OFF ‘Editor Lite’ on the printer
Printer works as expected. If you use the printer with mobile device just make sure, that the ‘Editor Lite’-feature is turned OFF otherwise your mobile device will not recognize the printer. I had to read through the folded manual and actually just tried it and then it connected to my phones. It works with a USB-Hub as well as with a USB2GO-cable (Micro-USB & USB-C).Have older phones, which I barely use and they got now a new purpose.Printing app doesn’t allow to turn text 180 degrees, so that you could print a label like for a wire to be readable in both ways. I know that the desktop version can do that. I would have to contact BROTHER if they are planning on implementing that feature in the mobile app.Tested also the red-printing, which seems like it is increasing temperature, and takes as long as a high-quality print. It is nice to have, but I wouldn’t recommend it, unless you really need it, since it prints the entire label slower = if you have to print many, larger labels you would have to calculate about 40% longer time. Still printing fast, but not as fast as just in b&w.The app has lots of nice templates (now also for COVID-19) and works very intuitive.I mainly bought this printer to label wires for computer network and it seems like the the DK-2214 labels would do a good job for that. You might use a SCOTCH-tape to protect it and keeping it on the wire, but it is a good size label for labeling wires.

Will work with Mac but a bit finicky
Overall this is a great printer, it’s an upgrade to my shipping workflow. One downside is the Mac setup (tips for this at the bottom)I’m using this to print shipping labels for individual trading card shipments. (Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, Baseball, etc.)I use the 2.4″ Continuous Tape for everything, the printer comes with a 5-meter sample roll of the DK-2251 Black/Red which I blew through pretty quickly. I bought a roll of the generic BETCKEY DK-2205 Black Only 2.4″ Continuous 100 ft which has been working out very well.For Mac Setup make sure you download the drivers and P-Touch editor from the Brother site. In the P-Touch editor make sure to select the proper tape. You need to specify if you’re using the 2.4″ Black/Red or 2.4″ Black only. Even if you’re only printing in Black, if you’re using the Black/Red tape then you need to specify the 2.4″ Black/Red option. If you don’t then you’ll get the dreaded blinking red light.It’s a good idea to download the P-Touch Editor even if you’re not going to be using it just for the ability to troubleshoot any issues. For Mac make sure the light above the “Editor Lite” button is NOT on. This is a Windows-only feature and will give you headaches. Any time you install new tape make sure to fire up P-Touch Editor and do a test print to make sure the tape is loaded properly.I have had success printing labels via Paypal multi-order shipping by selecting the “QL-500” option. In the print options do the following:For “Paper Size” Select “7 Postage Label”In the dropdown underneath “Orientation” Select “Preview”Make sure “Scale to Fit” and “Print Entire Image” are selectedIn the dropdown menu select “Basic” and for “Quality” select “Give priority to print quality”Next select “Advanced” from the dropdown menu and for “Color” select either “Monochrome” if you’re using the Black only labels or “2-Color(Black/Red)” if you’re using the “Black/Red” labelsThese options seem like no-brainers but I came into this assuming that it would “just work” and I was wrong. The printer knows what kinds of labels are loaded by referencing the dots punched into the bottom of the label holder and I assumed that it would be able to adjust its presets automatically but that is not the case. This was especially frustrating when moving from the Black/Red labels to Black only.Once you print successfully using these presets I would save them to make it easy in the future. Once you pass the hurdle of setting it up once then this printer is fantastic (hence the 4/5 stars).The only other gripe I have is that sometimes the labels will get stuck if I’m printing short labels less than an inch tall. When this happens they can fall back into the cutter and they’ll get cut when the next label comes out. When they get cut it’s usually minor, they’ll get a corner cut off or a bit of the bottom but there were a couple times where it nearly cut the label in half which meant that I had to reprint that label. I remedied this by putting a short box underneath the rear feet to tilt the machine forward a bit.Overall this printer has been super solid. It’s relatively portable so I can chuck it in a box with my printing supplies and set up shop wherever I am. Before I was using Avery address labels, using their templates is a bit clunkier than using the P-Touch editor. Plus, I would never use a full sheet of labels so I was constantly having to adjust cells so that my labels lined up. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to print PayPal labels, there isn’t much documentation online of people using the QL-800 for this purpose, so I rolled the dice and ordered it. Now this little machine that’s smaller than a loaf of bread takes the place of my big clunky printer. No more switching out label sheets in my printer, I only have the one roll of labels to worry about and that’s it!

Easy to set up. Works as expected.
Utilized this with the Clover POS system with no issues. Downloaded the ‘EasyLabel’ app on Clover and set it right up. Zero troubleshooting. Solved our label making problem with virtually no effort.

Great Printer for the Price – QL-800
From reading some of the reviews, I was under the impression that it could print the regular USPS 4″x6″ labels, however, it does not. Rather it prints labels with the maximum width of 2.4″x(desired length). Make sure if you are purchasing this printer that your source from which you purchase your shipping labels (Paypal, eBay, Shopify, etc.) allows you to change the size in which you print your labels. The printer requires the shipping label setting to be set to 2.3″x7.5″ for USPS shipping labels. I have not tried using it to print FedEx or UPS labels, but I imagine it is similar to USPS labels. It is possible to print the larger style label, but what this printer will do is print the different parts of the label on separate strips, then you have to cut and piece it together like a puzzle, which in my opinion would be a nightmare being that if you mess up in aligning the label which is a sticker, then you would have to print and start all over. So the 2.3″x7.5″ label is the way to go. Keep in mind, if the package you are shipping is not long enough to accommodate the 7.5″ long label then you will need to either cut the label and make it fit or just purchase a different label maker entirely. Overall, this printer is well made and does the job.

Those who know me know how I love to label aaalllllllllll the things 🙂 And this very high speed printer will make this even easier now!I was tired of printing misaligned address label sheets using my laser printer – sure they are cheap and use equipment that I’ve already got, but you know what? The alignment issues were driving me more than a little crazy.Since I keep track of a large number of items using an Excel spreadsheet, I was looking for a labeling solution which would allow me to print “one-off” labels (without having to manage a partially used label sheet) or entire batches of labels. Using the ptouch software, I am able to pull the exact data fields that I want from a spreadsheet and put them on my label where and how I want. Even more cool is the ability to concatenate a number of cells into a “super string” and then print that portion as a barcode (QR code for example). Awesome!If you are even remotely on the spectrum or are just very particular about how you organize things, you will no doubt fall in love with this printer as I have.

Der QL800 hat meinen alten QL500 nach etwa 4 Jahren abgelöst. Ich hatte auch schon vorher LabelPrinter von Zebra in Einsatz. Das Preis / Leistungsverhältnis ist hier aber Super und die Langlebigkeit des Vorgängermodels hat alle Erwartungen und Erfahrungen übertroffen.Bei dem QL800 erkennt man die Verbesserung des Gerätes selber direkt. Wobei die Druckgeschwindigkeit sich nur minimal verbessert hat, dafür aber ist aber das Handling und die Druckqualität merkbar gestiegen.
