🏁 Key Features & Benefits

1. High‑Speed Printing – The QL‑800 can print up to 93 standard address labels per minute, enabling fast throughput for busy office or shipping tasks.

2. Direct Thermal Technology (No Ink or Toner) – Since the printer uses direct thermal printing technology, there’s no need for ink cartridges, toners or ribbons. This reduces consumable cost and maintenance.

3. Print in Black & Red – A standout feature: it supports red‑and‑black printing on the same label (when using compatible Brother DK continuous rolls). This enables you to highlight important info such as expiry dates, warnings or promotions directly on your labels.

4. Wide Label Width & Flexible Media Options – Supports label rolls and tapes up to 62 mm wide, with a maximum printable width around 58–60 mm. The built‑in automatic cutter allows you to cut labels to precise lengths (including up to 1 metre continuous labels) for banners or special size tags.

5. High Print Resolution – The standard resolution is 300 dpi × 300 dpi, and in high‑resolution mode up to 300 dpi × 600 dpi, producing crisp text and sharp graphics (barcodes, logos, QR codes) for professional results.

6. USB Connectivity & Software Support – Connects via USB 2.0 to a PC or Mac. The included Brother P‑Touch Editor software (and mobile app options) allow you to design custom labels, link to Excel/CSV databases, add logos/barcodes, and automate label printing from existing systems.

7. Compact & Lightweight Design – With dimensions approximately 125 mm (W) × 213 mm (D) × 142 mm (H) and a weight around 1.15 kg, the QL‑800 fits neatly on an office desk or label station without taking up excessive space.

8. Low Maintenance & Cost‑Efficient – The absence of ink/toner means fewer consumables and less downtime. Changing label rolls is quick and intuitive using Brother’s genuine DK media.
