About this product:

Featuring a 4 inch width (101.6mm) print head, the QL-1100 offers maximum compatibility with third party shipping label software packages from couriers and parcel delivery companies.

And for sellers who use the Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) service, the “crop-print” feature enables you to print multiple barcode labels contained in the PDF generated by your Fulfilled by Amazon account. The driver detects, extracts and prints each individual label to the QL-1100 automatically, making it easy to mark up your items to be shipped to Amazon.

This printer has full PC and Mac compatibility thanks to its USB connection, and the free P-touch Editor label design software lets you add text, images and barcodes to your labels.

The QL-1100 can easily be integrated into your own systems and software using the Windows SDK (Software Development Kit).

More about this product

QL-1100 in warehouse printing label

Wide format shipping/barcode label printer

The QL-1100 wide format shipping label printer is the ideal solution for small businesses and those that work from home and need to ship products and parcels. Print high quality shipping labels containing barcodes, images and text.

P-touch Editor label design software with 62mm paper size selected

Works with Fulfilled By Amazon (FBA)

Easily print labels suitable for sending your products to Amazon fulfilment centres using the crop print function in the driver. After Amazon creates your PDF containing the barcode labels for attaching to your products, select the “crop print” function in the print options to automatically extract each barcode label from the A4 sheet and then prints the individual labels from the QL-1100.

4 inch (101.6mm) print width

To ensure maximum compatibility with third party shipping label printing software, the QL-1100 has a print width of 4" (101.6mm) - the specification required by the majority of parcel carriers.

P-touch Editor label design software on a computer monitor

Print from PC and Mac

The free P-touch Editor label design software for PC and Mac lets you add text, images, barcodes and frames to your labels. Link to data contained in an Excel spreadsheet or .csv file, then merge the data onto your label layout to quickly print many labels at once.

Support for Microsoft Office

The P-touch editor add-in for Microsoft Office (Windows only) allows you to select and print data directly from Word, Excel and Outlook. From Microsoft Word, highlight an address and click the add-in, in the toolbar, to print this on a label. Highlight cells in Excel and again click the add-in. For Outlook, select the contact with the address you require to print this label.

Built-in memory to store label templates

Connect directly to specialist equipment using the USB host port - no PC required. These devices can then send commands to select the required label template stored in the printer memory, send the required data to merge onto the label, then issue the command to print. One example is to scan barcodes containing the commands to select and print the built-in templates, to print copies of barcodes

Customer Reviews

QL-1100 is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 61.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good labeller Good mail labeller, does what it is supposed to do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Happy Love the QL-1100. When I bought it and it did take a hot minute to figure it out. I am very pleased with this product. Hasn't skipped a beat. Clear print every time.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not worth it, too much hassle. Can't get it to load properly on my computer, even though I have had techs remote in to try and fix it. Would prefer a refund. Much to expensive for the lack of work it does. You are better off just using a regular printer with 2 labels per page.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Labels are way too expensive Great printer, but the labels are too overly high quality and I don't want to pay the premium for a short lived shipping label that only has a life need of 10 days. There needs to be a cheaper option for shipping needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lazer Fast Printing [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This printer just shoots labels out. I use mostly for printing shipping labels. It is extremely easy to refill. Requires no ink which is great.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Praktisch für Versandlabels Vor allem die automatische Schnittfunktion des Druckertreibers ist gut gelungen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from QL-1100 Once set up is complete its fairly simple to operate.
Date published: 2022-08-30
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Incredibly environmentally unfriendly Each roll of labels comes with its own plastic holder that has to be thrown away after, this also means that you can not even choose to buy more eco friendly labels to use with the printer and as the plastic holders are not recyclable contributes hugely to unnecessary plastic waste
