5 stars The Time and Money Saver Written by Keith Verrall
I opurchased this as a replacement for an old label printer that would not run with Win 7. I am a disabled person who sells the odd bits now and again.Tthe Brother label maker is a godsend, I can use it to print off, in such clear a legible way, address Labels, package labels and much more. It has made an enormous diffence to my life, not having to go into the Study to print off a label from an old label maker. It is such a versatile printer, allowing you to just change the label cartridge and off you go with a different label. The end results are really clear and easy to apply onto the package or letters. The running costs are much less than I expected, using the official Brother labels. Thank you Brother for such a great product. 15th Apr, 2012

5 stars Excellent Written by Martina Barton

The printer is very easy to set up and use. We use it in general practice for printing blood test labels which is very quick and saves our staff a great deal of time.

5 stars Superb little machine Written by Austin

I can't recommend this machine enough, it's small and compact, excellent print speed, very versatile with the range of label sizes and simple to install. It's thermal so no messing around with inks or toners and the labels are inexpensive and easy to find. If you hand write labels STOP, the price per label and the convinience of copy and paste into the template will save you more in time than it costs.

5 stars Brother QL-560 Address Label Printer - SUPERB! Written by JJ
I purchased this from from labelzone and it arrived the next day! Excellent service! I bought this because I was tired of printing adresses onto A4 paper, cutting them out and sticking them to packages with tape! The included software is very easy to use (I use a Mac and there is no compatibility issues), you can add your own logos etc. Once you've 'designed' your label, click Print and you get a brilliant, self-adhesive label in seconds! The printer cuts the label off and then all you need to do is peel and stick! Well worth the money, buy one now! 12th Mar, 2012

5 stars Great, long lasting label printer Written by Louise
I've just purchase two more of these after originally buying one a couple of years ago. They are great little machines. The software is a little clunky but doesn't take too long to get the hand of. We use ours for creating barcodes for our appointment system, labelling files, drawers, hanging files, adding notes to documents when cascading them to multiple people, the list goes one. A great buy, especially with the continuous roll of label as you always get one exactly the right size although the rolls are dead easy to change if you want to swap to a different type/size. Highly recommend. 16th Nov, 2011

5 stars Great printer Written by Mr N. Marchant

After having the first Dymo label printer I swapped onto the Brother QL series last year, I've never looked back since. It works flawlessly with Windows7 unlike the Dymo printer I had which wouldn't work with Windows7 no matter what I did.

5 stars Excellent printer Written by Gareth

Really impressed with the QL-560, prints fantastic labels with no messy ink or toner. Clear labels printed extremely fast whether it's one or a print run. Would recommend to anyone.

5 stars Excellent value Written by Alison Turner
This printer is value for money, efficient and very effective in presenting labels the way you want. I feel that the money spent on the printer is well worth the 70.00GBP paid for it. 16th Nov, 2010

5 stars Brilliant! Written by Kat Ripsher
This printer is so useful, almost everyone at work has one on their desk and it saves so much time. It prints instantly and is very easy to use. Very good value for money. 16th Nov, 2010

5 stars Brother QL-560 Written by Hugh Marcus

This is a very useful little printer. When I need to print one label or send one letter its invaluable. I use it on a MAC and the software’s not just as slick as it probably is for windows. It took a bit of time, but I now have a decent template, which I just open and paste the address into. Print the label and stick it on the envelope - it’s that easy.

5 stars Brother's Budget beauty Written by Lawrence Parr
A great printer for short print runs, print quality is good, and with a wide variety of label sizes it's proved extremely flexible. Perhaps not as robust as printers we've had in the past, we're more than happy as the printer is only a sixth of the cost. Well done Brother. 16th Nov, 2010

Is the QL-560 definitely compatible with a Mac?

Yes, but it's important you have the correct driver installed. Visit Brother's support section to download these drivers.

I am using Microsoft Access as a database, Can I continue using this and get the labels to print from Access?

Yes. the P-Touch Editor software has built-in Microsoft Office functionality to do exactly this. From the software you would simply select File > Database > Connect then choose your database to start editing it or to print from it straight away. The software can be downloaded from here if you'd like to see for yourself.

Can I upload a black and white image (my company logo) to print on the labels also? Thank you Tracey

Yes, you can include logos and graphics on your labels. The software supplied with the QL printers support most common graphic formats.

Is the Brother QL-560 compatable with my Windows 7 (64bit) platform and my OpenOffice.org software please? Tom

To ensure you are using the most upto date release of the Windows 7 64bit drivers and software, we would recommend downloading the latest version from the Brother.com website. The QL software doesn't have specific support for OpenOffice, however you should have no problems printing from OpenOffice as the Windows driver allows you to print from most applications.

Hi I am inquiring about the Brother QL-560 Address Label printer. I would like to know if you can use different width sizes of labels. Regards Bob

Thanks you for your enquiry, there is a wide range of label sizes, you can see the full range here if you need more information please feel free to call us on 0800 975 5040.

Will this product print bar code shipping labels?

The QL labelling software supplied with each QL printer will allow you to design and print virtually any type of label, these can include barcodes if required. The software supports most common barcode formats and will convert your text into barocdes automatically. You can also link to a database which allows batch printing of addresses. Depending on the size of label you require the QL-560 may be suitable but if you need labels with a 100mm (4") width we would recommend the QL-1050 or the QL-1060N. These are ideal for the large shipping labels which are only suitable for these two printers.

Is there an outdoor/waterproof label suitable for this printer? If so, which one would you recommend? Thanks

The QL-560 labels are not suitable for outdoor use, we would recommend using one of the LabelStation printers for external labelling. If you would like samples of the labels please call 0800 975 5040 for an information pack.

Can I use labels intended for a zebra gk420d ?. I've nearly run out of 100x62 shipping labels and the zebra labels are much cheaper. I'm quite happy to roll them onto an empty 100x62 spindle.

The Brother QL labels have a registration patten printed in the reverse side of the backing paper which enables the printer to sense the labels. The standard Zebra shipping labels do not have this and would not work in the QL printer.

Hi can this label printer be connected to an office network so that we all call print different addresses from this same printer.

There are ways to share printers over a Windows network but we would recommend a true networkable product such as the QL-580N or the QL-1060N

does this print in colour or just black and white

The QL range of printer only product a black print onto your label.

What size labels does it come with and how many?

The Brother QL-560 printer comes with a roll of 62mm x 8m white continuous label.

Can I use my own application and use the QL-560 to print. For example, if I design my own label in JPG format, and open the JPG with a browser. Would I be able to send the print command to the QL-560 to print the JPG? Thank you

If you use the QL-560 printer driver you should be able to print from most Windows applications using FILE>PRINT from your applications menu. The output form should be the same size as the labels in the printer to make sure the image prints correctly. We would recommend that you consider using the Brother b-PAC SDK if you wanted to write you own application. More details can be found here
