Brother QL-700 Direct Thermal Printer

So happy I was able to print off my address labels for Xmas cards.

I purchased this printer because he printer I had was playing up

I wanted a small label printer which could print out single labels neatly and quickly. Printer Base recommend the QL700. It was quick and easy to set up. I am in the jewellery business and we need to be able to attach small labels to ring boxes etc.. I like to use labels approx 50 x 29mm with about 5 lines of print, detailing the gold quality, diamond size and price. I can even attach our shop branding/logo, its just brillaint. The QL700 is ideal for this application, it is quick and easy to use and the labels look so much nicer than even the best handwriting, and the print doesn't fade like ink, in our window display. I would recommend this little printer to anyone wanting to print off single or multiple labels

I bought this to replace my QL570 as it wasn't compatible with my new computer,great upgrade with plenty new features most of which i probably won't use 😄

Great product and good value for money. P lite didn't work, so had to install p-touch 5.2 software and some drivers. Took some time but now working. But all in all a great product.

Nice label writer. I had a Dymo before, but one day it just quit working - couldn't really get any timely help from the Dymo people. There is no way to talk to someone except through email, so I couldn't wait for three days to get a response. Therefore, I decided to try a Brother product. The only think I don't like is that it prints under the label. Don't know why it bothers me, so maybe it is just getting used to it. I can't see what I printed until it cuts the label (which I really like), and I turn it over.

Hard to set up and get this printer running, if you are not very good with computers you will struggle to install the software and get something to print. I would not buy it again

I have the strange experience of being an avid fan of the QL-700 to pulling my hair out. I grew instantly dependant on this little marvel. however that was before I upgraded to Windows 10 when the machine refused to cooperate. i spent many hours working with the issue thinking it to be solvable because i overlooked something. turns out i didn't Brother did. they didn't future proof this product. it works on my Mac but everything is manual so there is no efficiency that pc users can enjoy. when i print labels it works best if the machine does the thinking for me... different if printing every day but i am an occasional user and want my files and folders looking well and organised. this was the perfect 10 product, its now a dud. as if to add injury to insult, i convinced myself that brother would have solved it in the last year so i bought a replacement GL700 yesterday to go with my new pc i got for Christmas... i was wrong, nothing has changed. its still a dud.

I have purchased 4x QL700 for a production application, having previously bought a QL 560 and QL570. The clarity of the QL700 output is much lower - we use this printer to generate small 2D barcodes, which can be scanned with cameraphone products. We are unhappy with the QL700 output and find the iphone struggles to read the barcodes. When the iphone scans the barcode on the QL570 output, it reads first time.

The product is absolutely terrible. Unless you are using the bloated p-touch software don't plan on printing anything from this machine. You'd think a label printer would be able to print labels directly from microsoft word without much issues, but nope. Hours wasted troubleshooting myself and with the customer support chat.
