TIA Brother, labels easily available, and cheap. Easy to use, different sizes for labels, colors, font size also changeable. Zebra never tried, used Brother all the time.

Yeobh 4th Gear September 9, 2012 Author Share September 9, 2012 My selection tend to be more on Brother printer as they have a very goods support service centre. No idea about Zebra which is well accepted in US. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vid Hypersonic September 9, 2012 Share September 9, 2012 Hi , I am currently looking for one of the above mentioned - if you have experience using a Brother or Zebra label printer can you kindly offer yr pro and con views. TIA No need to buy specialized printer for labels lah. Just go popular and get a stack of ready labels. I think it's call Label Plus. Got many sizes all the way to A4. Just use microsoft word and any printer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea about Zebra which is well accepted in US. BTW Yeo, these are general labeling machines, if you're doing shipping address labels, best you buy from Popular, those plain address labels, 3 or 4 across for laser printers in A4 size, of single labels to be used on a dot matrix printer, with the holes at the sides. All you need is Microsoft Word to do paint the labels, excel can do it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ngck 3rd Gear September 9, 2012 Share September 9, 2012 (edited) Hi , I am currently looking for one of the above mentioned - if you have experience using a Brother or Zebra label printer can you kindly offer yr pro and con views. TIA You can use Avery or similar brand type of mass labels. and print from your own printer. In Microsoft Word, you can also do mail merge to import all the address from your customer spreadsheet with just 1 click of the button All the major labels players template are in MS word. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-hel...A010226414.aspx Edited September 9, 2012 by Ngck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurpsexx 6th Gear September 9, 2012 Share September 9, 2012 Hi , I am currently looking for one of the above mentioned - if you have experience using a Brother or Zebra label printer can you kindly offer yr pro and con views. TIA Zebra mainly for high volume industrial printing.. Brother I dunno.. Zebra quality is there and used in commercial businesses like warehouse to print high volume package delivery labels. The original supplies may be more ex n u got choice of direct thermal printing or the thermal transfers... print quality is good and can last the rough handling... from insider news....

Mazdaowner Moderator September 9, 2012 Share September 9, 2012 Good for mass production of recurring mailing addresses but not very suitable for online one off basis address. I since one time, copy online and paste, print on plain paper stick on package and that's it. Pointless to invest in a machine for one off printing.

Mazdaowner Moderator September 9, 2012 Share September 9, 2012 Currently I am on this method. Save money lah, unless high volume then invest in one, the brother is also not exactly cheap, labels also come at a price. I, too use this method of mailing stuff to friends, do it properly though, I use 3M spray glue, not tape all over. Cheap also and very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
