Brother ColAura Color Photo and Label Printer

Great labeler for the price. It's easy to use and small for easy placement in the office.. it has some quirks, but for the price I can live with resetting the cartridge every now and again.

I LOVE this little label printer! I was so excited for it to be delivered. My son is a young business man. He tends chickens and is a Beekeeper. This label printer is perfect to create his business labels and just as perfect for any other labeling project. The labels are high quality. The app for the printer keeps track of how much length is left in the label roll, so that NO partial labels print unknowingly. Again, I LOVE this label printer with the ZINK label cartridges!!

it met my needs for printing labels for packaging. it's picture printing capabilities are narrowed because I'd the minimal width. but all the usual one inch prints look great

Would love to see some color sticker options. That color shifting one in particular. ✌️

I work in a product company with 500+ customers. I started recommending my customers this printer for visitor badges. After ordering around 100+ printers and using them daily, we concluded that this printer only works well with the Color Label App. If you want to use this as a visitor label printer, then this printer is not the correct selection. We paired this printer with our Kiosk app on iPad and visitor printer badges. Once the visitor completes the information, the app sends the printer command to print the badge using Air Print. Problem: after 30+ mins of inactivity, this printer goes idle and does not print the badges. Reconnection or printer restart is needed to pair again with the app. This is a huge task for lobby managers as they need to do this activity after every hour and visitors are also unhappy with the delay. Moreover, the badges are not AUTO CUT; someone needs to swipe on the head of the printer to cut the badge. At last, we tried to contact Brother customer support but got no help from their end. Finally, clients are unhappy with this printer and losing their brand value. Just because this printer is going idle and no one has a solution, we have unhappy clients. Therefore, I don't recommend this printer for Visitor Management, but you can use the printer label for personal use.

It was so complicated to get it connected. I watched YouTube videos read the instructions did everything it says but it kept saying it was connected. Once I finally got it connected after an hour it said the cassette wasn't inserted properly so I fiddled with that for another 20 mins. Once I got the cassette in properly it went back to saying that it wasn't connected. By this time I was really irritated so I gave it 1 more shot then it worked! I did a test print of one of its images and it printed with lines. So I thought maybe it just needs to warm up to be able to print clear but after 4-5 prints it kept printing with lines. The lines weren't crazy bad but they were noticeable. The other thing that was kind of annoying was how much the other size cassettes cost.

I wish I had listed to the reviews but I thought. I bought this hoping to make labels for my products. I spend two days trying to get this thing setup. Had to call Brother for assistance. They couldn't get it to work either. Sent me a refurbished one (After I paid full price). Once it finally started working, I had to turn it off every time I needed to print a new label. Printed about 7 labels then it stopped working. Don't waist your time or money.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY, this will not work consistently, ALWAYS some type of error when trying to print, I expected way better from Brother than this... missed the window for return or we definitely would have.

great idea drivers do not connect and stay consistent

RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In any other direction. Every time I change phone, or the seasons change, or the app updates... EVERY SINGLE time it is a disaster to reconnect this device. Would not take a replacement if it was free.
