Rating: Summary: Extremely competive label/banner printer Review: I recently purchased this machine for around $100. I have owned label writers in the past and this machine is performing even better than the much more expensive Dymo models. Some of the features that I find unique and usefull are the continueous tape option for banners and the speed at which this machine prints. It prints much faster than previous models I have owned. This label printer has been very easy to set up. The only thing is I might opt for the step up QL-550 next time because it has an auto cutter build in. But in defense of the QL-500, it's manual cutter is very easy to use too and has been a non issue.
Rating: Summary: A real time saver at a great price! Review: I've wanted a label printer for a long time because I hate having to manually load envelopes into my printer. A printer with multiple trays would have been one solution, but I already have too many printers the way it is. The Dynamo was the only one I'd seen and at $200 it was just too much, but this nifty little Brother model at $79 (after a rebate) was too good to pass up.
I've only just set it up, but it's easy and it's FAST. Speed doesn't really matter to me (not sending bulk mail) but it's impressive one the less. The only thing I don't like (so far) is that it doesn't add the postal bar code to the label like Microsoft Word did. There might be a way around this, and in all honestly I'm not convinced it make the mail faster anyway, but I like to use it and with this would do it too.
