We want office labels (mail, archive, files), Brother QL?

Brother QL-820NWB or QL-1110NWB are the sensible picks for office label work. Up to 62mm (QL-820) or 102mm (QL-1110), DK rolls, no ribbon, fine Mac/Windows drivers.

Try this first

  1. 1For address labels and simple archive labels: QL-820NWB with DK-22205 continuous paper or DK-11209 pre-cut address labels. Covers 80% of office work.
  2. 2For wide labels (archive box, file spine): QL-1110NWB with DK-2243 (102mm continuous).
  3. 3Install Brother iPrint&Label (mobile) or P-touch Editor (desktop). Not just the generic Windows driver, you lose template features.
  4. 4Create templates for the three most-used label types (address, file spine, mail tray). Store them on a network share, not on one PC.
  5. 5For shipping and parcels: don't use Brother QL, use Zebra or Dymo. QL is not a shipping printer, paper costs more and barcodes lack resolution.

When to bring us in

One label printer is DIY. For multiple offices or a central archive flow we do setup and share a template library with naming.
