design-n-craft is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 237.
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Too Thick I find that that the label paper is way to thick to add to product containers. You can clearly see the label and it soo thick that it is visible and can lift off product containers quite easily. I think the label paper could be a bit thinner. It also takes very long to print one label.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Quality is fantastic, Out of the box it was time consuming to install drivers and software . It’s not plug and play and its not click and print. When I installed the APP on iPad or iPhone you have to go to the wireless settings and select the VC-500W from the available WiFi list, therefore your device is tied up and you cannot switch between apps to do searches , check mail or other tasks. It’s actually a pain. Print quality is unbelievable and right as soon as i got up and running i made some sweet long and short 2” labels.So i am giving a high performance rating for printing only, connectivity and setup, i am giving the device an one star out of five. It’s not worth the money and time.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Just what I wanted Very good printer produces very colourful labels. Software for PC and phone very easy to use. Took a while to get it set up as I found the instructions hard to follow, but managed in the end. Very happy with this printer.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Misalignment and color not the same as app Tested my new printer and was really excited to get labels I can put on bottles. The labels are great but two things I noticed I am not completely satisfied on: 1. Frames - either the label is off or the printing is... when I do a full frame that should bleed to the edges - the top is cropped a bit and the bottom has white trim. Wish there was a way to adjust frames because I was really excited to use the frames included in the app. 2. Color - Color is more vibrant on the app then on the label - using either Vivid or Standard mode. A true purple color printed magenta and a true pink background printed like a peachy pink color. Also where I tested using a frame - the start of the printing on the right edge looked faded than the rest.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Makkelijk in gebruik In tegenstelling tot andere reviews, vind ik de app makkelijk in gebruik en maak je snel allerlei labels. Ik had echter ook het idee om de drinkflessen en potjes van mijn kinderen te labelen, maar helaas zijn de brother labels niet vaatwasserbestendig. Jammer
