The cassettes are extremely expensive and I can get maybe 10 orders out before the cassette states that it is empty you guys should lower the price or add more paper to the cassettes overall the number of designs on the app is great we should be able to change the color to all the backgrounds not just some the app needs more fonts the printer should be able to connect to all computers tablets and or phones and you all should make the app more user friendly

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.

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. I often complete projects to aid in keeping me organized. The printer allowed me to create and print fun, artistic labels to give my projects personality. ASSEMBLY: I was able to assemble the printer with few challenges. I did encounter a challenge inserting the labels. Also, I found the printer to print more test labels than needed. SIZE: The printer is the perfect size requiring little space. I was able to place it on my desk without feeling like my desk was clutter. .PROBLEMS: I only encountered a problem when connecting to WIFI. The instructions were a bit confusing as to how to connect to my WIFI versus adding the printer to my WIFI connection. Once I figured out I had not connected the printer to my personal WIFI, printing was a breeze.

This is an incredible little label printer if you need labels that are going to hold up this is the item for you

the delivery of the product was on time. I got to play with it with the labels that came with it and it was nice. will be ordering the correct size labels for the product that i need it for. other then that i love it.

I've been using this printer for a couple of years. It works great for most projects. I had hoped to use it for my candle and room sprays. They look great, but when the jars heat up, the labels turn blue. So disappointed.

I love the print although it is very slow. The driver and software setup is very unreliable and cumbersome. If not for the setup issues I would give 4 stars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This product is super easy to setup and use. The instructions are clear and the app that`s used to help setup the printer is user friendly. It took me lest than ten minutes to setup from start to finish. The label maker prints color pictures really well. My daughter and I played with actual color photos and added borders and filters. There are many options for fonts and clip-art you can use to make your labels as unique as you are. My favorite feature is that the labels have a self adhesive that sticks firmly to any surface. I love that the app links to your photo library and social media pictures. This is my second label maker and Brother has truly upgraded label printing with this model. If I could improve this product it would be the option to print different size labels and photos. Overall, the Brother VC-500w Color Label and Photo Printer is a great product for scrap-booking, organizing and labeling. It makes organization colorful and fun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I was surprised and pleased to see how compact the printer is, and that it takes up very little space. It was very easy to set up, and directions are provided. All I needed to do is plug in, add the included ink cartridge, and download the app. Once the app was downloaded, I launched the app and followed the directions to set up the wifi connection, and start printing. The whole thing took about 7 minutes to complete after I opened the box.I like that there are so many options to use when printing labels. So many of the older label printers only allow black ink and just typed words. With this printer and app, you can add frames, backgrounds, photos, color, and clip art. I printed some photos to use as stickers, some plain labels, and some decorative labels to use in other projects. There is one thing I wish this printer had. I wish it contained a built in slicer to cut the label after it`s finished printing. I assumed it had one, and kept pulling the label, so I wasted some tape before I realized I needed to use scissors. Overall, the printer is great in size, prints high quality, easy to use, and has lots of great options. It`s nice to label and maintain home organization, and use for art projects.

This is a bit niche as a small format photo sticker printer up to 2 inches wide and however long, but it's fantastic for its niche. The color is very good but not perfect. It struggles to represent lightly colored "washed out" or over exposed areas in photos but well saturated photos look great. Colors are bright and vibrant. The adhesive is good which is a really big deal. You don't have to peel the adhesive backing if you want to magnet a photo to your fridge or something like that. This would be great for scrapbooking if people are still doing that. Adhesive photos are durable enough to wear for a long time on a laptop that gets carried around in a bag, which is a big deal. Photos don't run or bleed. Inkjet can't do any of that. The "zink" photo stock does cost more. There's good open source software people have written to automate printing to these, that people have used to set up photo print stations at weddings and special events, and it works on Linux/Unix/BSD with that. This is a great way to make inexpensive, durable, full-color stickers to hand out or give to friends. Trimming the photos with scissors works well. Web/WiFi setup works. A 3" version and more standard printing protocols would be nice. Buy this to nicely do what nothing else does.
