Brother QL-1110NWB Wide Format, Postage and Barcode Professional Thermal Monochrome Label Printer with Wireless Connectivity

I am ecstatic! I ship daily and was tired of cut and tape. I have tried 3 other printers. Rollo, Zebra and Jaiden. I could not get any of them to easily print off of my Iphone. I tried everything. I would have to save and then print and then go back and delete the file. It was a pain so I gave up. But then a busy weekend hit and my run of the mill printer went on the blink. I had to save qr codes and wait in line for them to process at the post office. I can't waste that much time daily and really not good for the customers behind me. I thought there has to be a way! So I tried the brother. The instructions are super confusing. Do this for wired don't do that for bluetooth. After a frustrating time I decided to wait till the next day with a fresh brain. This is not my forte but I was determined. Silly me thought I could plug and go. No! After thinking about it I knew it couldn't just pick up a wifi signal because of a password. I needed it wireless because there is NO room for a desk & laptop in this space. It had to work off phone. Just plugging it in the phone was not picking up the printer as an option. I figured it needed a go between for wifi and password. I downloaded the driver on my computer in the other room and choose to do so wirelessly just to make sure it was all going to be wireless. Brother-USA Support dowload driver. It took a while and it looks like it's not doing anything but patience. In less than 5 min it was all downloaded. I thought for sure it was not going to work, but iphone recognized it, no hassle and printed perfectly on first go. I never could get the scale right on the other printers. It was postage stamp size or only showed a partial label. The Brother QL1110NWBC printed 4X6 properly and looks great. Very happy camper!

Setup was straight forward. It's super easy to change label rolls. The best thing is you can use any thermal label with the caveat that it should be a size compatible with the printer. The roll holders have different hole patters on the foot that tell the printer what size of roll you are using as seen in the photo.My only complaint I have found is when switching label sizes, I have to go into the printer properties and change the default label size. If I try to change the label size within the print dialog it does not register and gives me an error that I have the wrong size. This applies to Windows 11, I have not used it with any other system such as a Mac.I use it primarily with Shopify and Ebay, but it will print from any platform.I have been so happy with this label printer, and I have had all the big brands, if it ever needs replaced, I'm getting the same one.

Delivered timely. Easy set-up. Works wonderfully for USPS labels. Have not yet used for UPS labels but expect it will work with UPS too. Saves me a lot of time cutting down full 8.5x11 plain paper labels.

After I got a hold of Brother support, they walked me thru the steps to correct the machine. Now it is working perfectly.

This is a total nightmare if you want to print from a Mac laptop. There is NO printer driver, so you CANNOT print a PDF directly from Preview or any other PDF application. They offer a proprietary app but when you import the PDF and size it to fit the label, the resolution decreases and the printed label is pixelated. You cannot just import the PDF and hit print. Too many extra steps. Maybe it works well on ipads and iPhones, but save yourself the headache if you want to print from a Macbook. I returned it and bought one that has a printer driver and that you can print from Preview. Unacceptable nightmare from Brother. Stay clear!

Printer produces good quality prints. The only pain is that unless you set it to never power off, you have to wake it up manually after an hour or two or your network print jobs won't come through.

I've got a small business selling items I make. For a few years I've been printing shipping labels onto plain paper and taping them onto the boxes I shipped. I finally decided to bit the bullet and buy a dedicated shipping label printer. The first one I bought was an inexpensive Bluetooth one (not Brother) that I couldn't get to work at all. I'm pretty tech savvy so that was a big disappointment. I finally decided to try again with this substantially more expensive Brother label printer and I'm really glad I did. Setting it up and connecting it to my network was quick and easy. The labels print quickly and are very high quality. The only negative I've got is that setting up some functions of the printer requires me to plug it directly into my computer via a USB cable. I'd really prefer if I could do that wirelessly. Despite that niggle I'm very pleased with this printer and I wish I'd bought it years ago. It's worth the relatively high price.

Spend the money. Quality matters! This works great for my wife’s work. She loves it.
