About this product:

The QL-820NWB comes with a host of connectivity options meaning you can connect to your PC, Mac, smartphone or tablet using USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. 

Alternatively you can use it in standalone mode by selecting and printing labels previously designed and uploaded to the memory, using the integrated backlit LCD display.  When used with special rolls, you can print labels that can contain both black and red print without needing any ink, making it ideal for printing labels to highlight important information such as dates and allergen information.

With a wide range of label sizes available in both paper and plastic films, the QL-820NWB is suitable for address and shipping labels, visitor ID badges, food preparation and barcode labels as well as indoor signage.  And with an integrated cutter and Brother's unique continuous roll, you can create custom length labels to the exact length required, all from the same roll.

When printing at multiple locations, updating the templates in all printers would normally be a time intensive operation. However the QL-820NWB can automatically connect using FTP to a remote server, and if new templates are found, update these automatically. This helps you save time and money,
and ensures consistent operation at all remote sites. All this directly from the printer via the internet, without needing a PC connection.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Brother brand label maker [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This label maker has three different functions.It comes with black and red labels however you can put any color labels in the label maker that you want green ,blue ,yellow ,pink ,orange. Often we just just the larger stick on labels if we need name tags for the classroom or a tour group. However now we have options. We can use these same labels from a computerized label maker offering three different sizes for different labeling purposes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High Quality [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Brother QL-820NWBC Ultra Flexible Label Printer and I am beyond impressed with its performance. This label printer is truly a game-changer and offers multiple connectivity options that make printing labels a breeze. One of the standout features of this printer is its ability to print red and black labels up to 2.4" wide. This is perfect for creating attention-grabbing labels for important documents or packaging. The quality of the labels is also impressive - the text and images are sharp and clear. The ultra-flexible design of the Brother QL-820NWBC is also a major plus. It can be used as a standalone printer or connected to a network, making it incredibly versatile. The printer also comes with a variety of software options that allow for customization and integration with other programs. The connectivity options are impressive as well.
