Both the Brother QL-500 and 550 models offer the ultimate in:
Flexibility A variety of crisp, white pre-sized label roll types
are available, including address, shipping, file folder,
CD/DVD and multi-purpose sizes. But the really unique
feature of the Brother QL-500 and QL-550 is their
ability to also print on rolls of continuous film,
making them perfect for free-length label - and even
signage - applications.
Speed Both models are extremely fast; they can print up to 50
standard address labels per minute* (3 inch per second
print speed). The included software makes label set-up a
snap. And since their labels are all easy-peel, the
Brother QL-500 and QL-550 are the perfect high-volume
label printing solutions.
Value The Brother QL-500 and QL-550 are two of the
lowest-priced PC label printers available, yet they are
complete packages including: one unit, full CD-ROM
software, a USB cable and supply roll. The pre-sized
labels cost only pennies, and require no ink, toner or
ribbons.
Ease Users can quickly create great labels directly from
Microsoft(R) Word, Excel and Outlook just by doing
highlight-click-print, via Brother's included Add-in
software. Even Brother's full label creation software
(also included) is easy to master and offers the
ultimate in flexibility... text, graphics, even bar
codes, can be printed quickly. And finally, drop-in
label rolls and a clever label roll sensor make changing
supplies a snap.
Strength Both paper-and film-based labels are quite durable, and
are perfect for most indoor uses (film-based labels
offer increased heat-and UV-resistance). The Brother
QL-500 offers a commercial-quality manual cutter
mechanism, while the Brother QL-550 steps up to an
automatic version. Both trim labels quickly and cleanly.
