    Excellent - really great to see it in action. Very interested in this to produce product labels for my home made beer. Just wish it was a little larger !

    Being a thermal printer, how long does the color "last" before it fades?

    • @geekanoids
      @geekanoids  Год назад +1

      Sorry I am not sure. I have other mono thermal labels that are OK 6-12 months later.

    Hi there, nice and simple review. I would like to know if this printer does iron on label cartridges. Can this be connected with other brother design software "P11". Thank you

    very high quality video review. Can I send creative labels from my photoshop (I use Corel paint XI) to this printer?

    Thank you for the video, can labels in different shape be made? ( circle, oval, etc) is it possible to transfer a design from canva to the app of the printer?

    Cost is the main issue. At 30p per label is a significant percentage of a more low cost item.

  • @thetruth8053

    nice video...can I please ask You, if the device can be set so that it cuts regularly my own sized labels from the roll? thank You very much ♥

    Is this the same as COLAURA? Thanks for the reply sir

    • @geekanoids
      @geekanoids  3 месяца назад

      I am not 100% sure, but do think that is correct.

  • @makalhabrown7139
    @makalhabrown7139 Год назад +2

    Are you able to change between cartridge sizes half way threw the roll eg 25 to 50

    • @geekanoids
      @geekanoids  Год назад

      Yes, this should be possible.

    Can it print round images???? I need to print my new company logo that is a sunflower, etc

    • @geekanoids
      @geekanoids  6 месяцев назад +1

      It can print any shape, you just need to source a compatible pre-cut shape on a roll. Pretty sure they do a round label.

  • @marciabernard3105
    @marciabernard3105 Год назад +2

    I bought one of these earlier this year, it print on the 1 inch label but does not want to print on the 2 inch label, it keep spitting out sample paper. I bought a new 2 inch cartridge for about 80$ still it won't print just spitting out samples? Do you have any ideas what could be wrong?

    • @geekanoids

    Is it possible to connect to Android devices by wire other than Wi-Fi?

      Sorry I no longer have this. Wireless to mobile only I think.

  • @fahimhakim5137
    @fahimhakim5137 Год назад +1

    I thought it is really a 'thermal only' colored printer. Do a full thermal only colorful printer exist now?

    • @geekanoids
      @geekanoids  Год назад

      Yes full colour thermal printers like this one are available.

    • @fahimhakim5137
      @fahimhakim5137 Год назад +1

      It is without ink right? Can you share link or the name so I can look on it? @@geekanoids

    • @geekanoids
      @geekanoids  Год назад +2

      @@fahimhakim5137 yes, no ink on this one. I checked and could not find any alternatives. Brother are super reliable, so I can definitely recommend.

  • @michaelashbrook3195

    if i print 10 labels in a row will they all have that blank tab?
    is the label paper or plastic?

    • @geekanoids
      @geekanoids  2 года назад +1

      Yes they all follow the same format. The ones I tested were paper.

  • @ElektroTechNL

    Hello can this printer also make Windows 10/11 logo stickers same like op your pc that stickers?

    • @geekanoids
      @geekanoids  2 года назад

      Not quite the same. Windows stickers are litho or foil printed.

  • @Apex180
    @Apex180 2 года назад +3

    Does this thermal printer force you to buy Brother branded labels like Dymo are doing and a few others ?
    Micro usb seems a odd choice, typically it would either by usb c or a normal full size usb "b" type connector, even the location of it seems odd sticking out the side that it is.

    • @geekanoids
      @geekanoids  2 года назад +3

      This uses thermal colour labels. You may be able to find third party ones, but the OEM labels work very well. I thought the same at first about the USB, but after setup, the placement of it works very well.

      The adhesive seems good to me.

    Hi there! I have a brother vc 500 label printer. I struggle to print the right colors with it. Everything seems to get a purple tone. Does anybody experience this?

    • @geekanoids
      @geekanoids  2 года назад

      I have not experienced this. Perhaps a chat with Brother Support would solve this.

      Yes. This should work fine with MacOS.

    Hi Dave, thanks. Is there a printer that prints slightly larger stickers/labels about 10 cm wide?

    • @geekanoids
      @geekanoids  Год назад +1

      10cm is the max width I know, unless you go for label sheets and a laser or inkjet printer.

  • @AwesomeCanadianHomes
    @AwesomeCanadianHomes Год назад +2

    if only it was a few inches wider.

    • @geekanoids
      @geekanoids  Год назад

      Maybe that’ll happen in a new model, that would be cool 🤓👍🏻
