Michael Brown — Fremantle, WA –
The Brother VC-500 Colour Label & Photo Printer is brilliant if you want eye-catching labels or photo-style tags. It prints full-colour, high-quality adhesive labels — ideal for craft, branding, events or just making things look professional. I used it for custom name tags and product labels and the finish is top tier. Easy to use, connects wirelessly, and has a good range of media types. A great investment for creative or business use.

I purchased one of these printers for our print shop. Have to say I was a little disappointed. It is quite a slow printer. Colours are a bit washed out too. You certainly have to pick your designs for the best results. It is handy when I want to make the one off colour label for our shop or to label merchandise. Would I recommend if you have to print lots of labels, not really. I tend to go back to my QL700 black & white. Much easier to use and quick – As long as your expectations aren’t too high this colour labeller would be okay.
