[@DrunkDelilahBrewery]

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 !

[@geekanoids]

🤓👍🏻

[@vedaa9584]

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

[@geekanoids]

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

[@TuKarma956]

Everytime i press print why does it say “no media printer” what does that mean?

[@ALI-soon1Milli]

So can they only be longer but not larger in overall dimensions. I would need something much bigger as well

[@geekanoids]

🤓👍🏻

[@makalhabrown7139]

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

[@geekanoids]

Yes, this should be possible.

[@marciabernard3105]

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]

Sorry I am not sure on this. Best check with Brother Support.

[@ashleywood1672]

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

[@geekanoids]

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.

[@DarylPurdy]

How do you print in a custom size

[@ElektroTechNL]

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

[@geekanoids]

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

[@conogelato6968]

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?

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I am not sure on this. Please reach out to Brother Support.

[@luqmaan]

Anyone know of the best place to buy the roll cassettes in the UK?

[@geekanoids]

I would buy from Brother direct or Amazon if available.

[@정준호-l7b]

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

[@geekanoids]

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

[@muhamadhaiqal1278]

Why the application is not available on my region? :(

[@geekanoids]

Sorry to hear this. Brother Support should be able to help you download this.

[@michaelashbrook3195]

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

[@geekanoids]

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

[@lunaastroloji]

Does it print with a transparent back?

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I am not sure.

[@hugi28]

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]

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

[@johnsulle7293]

25mm,up what dimensions

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I no longer have this to check. It should be in the specs on the Brother website.

[@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 ♥

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I am not sure on this.

[@AndyMaden]

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

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I am not sure on this.

[@fahimhakim5137]

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

[@geekanoids]

Yes full colour thermal printers like this one are available.

[@fahimhakim5137]

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

[@geekanoids]

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

[@HeartlandFamilyDesigns]

What's the largest label with that can be printed?

[@geekanoids]

Max label width is 50mm.

[@eddykasay2143]

Where can I get this product?

[@geekanoids]

Often in stock at Amazon. Links are in the video description.

[@srengthinprayerpraiseandwo9664]

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

[@geekanoids]

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

[@neilgibson9614]

Are the label water proof, are the thermal print water proof what are the print format design use pdf, pds, ect??

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I no longer have this to check.

[@ranadobedny1937]

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

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I no longer have this to check.

[@Apex180]

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]

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.

[@saabsonsan]

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

[@geekanoids]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

[@roberthorwat6747]

Well that knocks my beloved brother p-touch firmly into a cocked hat. Nice informative review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@geekanoids]

Thanks for watching 🤓👍🏻

[@csabimolnar-toth8912]

This is MACOS compatibles?

[@geekanoids]

Yes. This should work fine with MacOS.

[@DarrenGator]

Pretty cool printer, great for businesses or just for having some fun!

[@geekanoids]

It really has great image quality.

[@ciemp84]

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

[@geekanoids]

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

[@marksneyd1262]

Great review. Is the adhesive strong and long lasting?

[@geekanoids]

The adhesive seems good to me.

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Dave.

[@geekanoids]

Cheers Ron 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@AwesomeCanadianHomes]

if only it was a few inches wider.

[@geekanoids]

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

[@melonshop8888]

SI NICE :3

[@geekanoids]
