    • This thing is great
Style: New Model: VC500W Pattern Name: Printer
I watched a review on youtube before buying it and the video showed a pixelated text and not great image quality. Not sure what they were doing but the one I have prints HQ text with great image quality. It is not professional portrait image quality but it is pretty great for mysterious magic paper. Recommended for the price. ... show more

    • Works Great with 2019 MacBook

I purchased this printer in March 2021 and it is amazing! I use it to print product labels for my Etsy shop, and it is used exclusively with my 2019 MacBook. In the year and half that I’ve had it, I’ve had a few hiccups with it - but that’s par for the course with any tech product. I’ve found that the labels look better when images are set in a white background. Full color can be done, but it doesn’t look as good in my opinion. Color quality and variations are attributed to the label cartridges, not the printer itself. I recently printed 130 identical 2”x3” labels and I noticed very slight color variations (I used multiple cartridges) but nothing extreme. I love that I can use AirPrint with this machine. I can print from a different room in my home and it works just as well as it does when I’m sitting next to it. ... show more

    • Not ready for prime time. Labels curls and fall off.
Style: New Model: VC500W Pattern Name: Printer
I literally own at least a dozen different labelers and use one almost daily. When I saw this product I had to own it. I was hoping to print off some high res color labels. I was very disappointed with this model. I typically only use Brother's P-Touch Editor program for Windows. The software for this model is not up to par. I was trying to print a logo with some transparency and the transparency would only print white regardless of the label background color. I had to edit the logo in Photoshop and remove transparency color and change it to black. This worked, but the label still did not print right. The printer printed the logo, but it cut the label incorrectly. It would cut into the logo several millimeters in on both sides, chopping off part of the logo. I again had to edit the file to add some additional space to each side of the picture. I am not a Photoshop guru, but have used it for many years. To get the logo to print right took a lot of work and time. I was unable to modify the logo image using the P-Touch Editor program despite having used it for years with other Brother labelers. In order to get the logo to print out correctly I had to modify the picture using Photoshop. Once I was finally able to get the logo to print right, the label quality was very poor. At first glance it looked okay. The color image was a little washed out, but within expectations range. I wasn't expecting it to be a high quality photo. The deal breaker for me was the label itself. The label is much thicker than I was expecting. Probably not quite the thickness of a band-aid you would place on your skin to cover a cut, but closer to it than the TZe tapes I normally use. The thickness is not really the deal breaker for me, but the fact that every label I have created curls at the edges when applied. You can forget placing the label on anything that is not perfectly flat. Even then good luck. For example, I placed a color label on my laptop screen which is perfectly flat. The surface area was cleaned before applying and the label and was very carefully applied. The label is curling at the edges and does not look nice. I have used several different tape sizes and curling happens on the tapes sizes I have used. I placed a logo on a retractable patch cable I have, and it came off in my laptop case the same day. Bottom line, even if you spend a ton of time on label design and get it to print out right, it will not likely stay on once you apply it to something. ... show more

    • It's the very compact lovechild of Brother Labelers & ZINK Color Photo Printers ...And We Love It !
Style: New Model: VC500W Pattern Name: Printer
When we first heard about this--and saw the footprint, I felt like I was missing something, as between the comparatively small size (somewhere between the size of Big Mac & Double Big Mac) and lack of complicated control panel, this isn’t what comes to mind when you think “full color, photo quality printer”. Now that we’ve spent the better part of today putting this through its paces, it’s all clear--and very cool. First, this is one of those ZINK photo printers so it prints photo quality without toner or ink. Unlike other color printers, with Zink all the “color” is in the paper--not sure what that means or how it works, but I don't know how a 747 stays up in the air either and that doesn't stop me from getting on a plane. Anyway, in terms of easy both using it and getting it to work & play well with wifi etc, this reminded me a lot my Brother PC labeler, except; This prints full color, photo quality labels from my phone as well --which is great for on site tweaks as it means I don't have to boot up my laptop This prints those photo labels up to just about a foot and a half long (and depending which tape you use up to 2” wide)--which comes in handy as we create experiential POS for retail and trade show exhibits--and as of 3 months ago, the on-premise ‘presence’ for certain liquor brands--all “highly rectangular” stuff (shelf talkers, table tents, booth signage) that needs lots of rounds of testing & (on location) fine tuning-- that always needs to look like the final finished printed piece. Until now we’ve been spending a small fortune on getting this done -- and that’s without the rush charges--This not only fits in my laptop messenger bag It even prints those ZINK labels pre-scored so peeling off the adhesive back is easy and doesn't take its toll on your nails, teeth...or the label. The PC interface also has pretty much the same options as our existing P-touch so multiple prints and all those other handy features are there. If you’re looking to print 8x10 or 5x7 or 3x5 prints--- stick with your whatever, though if you’re like us, and need a photo quality (aka “professional” quality) full color printer, between the VC500W’s Zink-based, print quality, the compact size, and the same hassle-free easiness as our P-touch labeler, this is our new MVP Most Valuable Printer. ... show more
