5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT printer, July 26, 2009
By 
Rider (Middleburg, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brother QL-1050 Wide Format PC Label Printer (Office Product)
This printer absolutely WILL print labels for UPS, Post Office, and FedEx. I have printed dozens of shipping labels for those carriers, and they come out perfectly and with high resolution. I print from my fedex.com and ups.com accounts, and US Postal shipping labels from the Endicia application on my computer. Here's how:

1. I use the Brother 4" x 100ft Continuous Length Paper roll (DK2243), so the printer will automatically cut off the label exactly where the image ends (this also allows me to add additions like "FRAGILE" or "RMA #" below the carrier's label image).
2. When the label is ready to print (from FedEx, UPS or Endicia), instead of sending it to the printer I save it as a pdf file, and then open the pdf in Adobe Reader (or Acrobat) [note: rotate the image sideways and enlarge to full screen for best results].
3. In the printer's P-Touch Editor application, I select "Insert > Picture > Screen Capture...", which takes me back to Adobe Reader, and lets... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Proprietary labels, May 19, 2009
By 
Jimbo (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

This product appears to work well, and P-touch editor, which came free with the printer, is an easily accessible and understandable program used in conjunction with the printer. The issue I have, however, is that it requires proprietary labels made by Brother, and will not accept any other labels. This in particular was an issue for me, as the company I work for requires pre-printed labels (in color). Brother does not pre-print labels, and this is not a color label printer. For the price, it seems to be an excellent machine, and so long as you do not need pre-printed labels or, of course, color, and don't mind purchasing labels solely from Brother, than this printer (which is the cheapest label printer I could find that was capable of printing on 4" wide labels) will likely be all you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Legal Secretary, December 9, 2008

This review is from: Brother QL-1050 Wide Format PC Label Printer (Office Product)
The label printer has been a wonderful time saver. We have 2 and they are connected to our computer system and we can print labels with the click of our mouse! The only issue that I have found is in coordination with our program, long names are cut off of the label. Other than that, I am completely pleased. Our small business has saved time and heart-ache no longer dealing with envelope printers.
