[Dx4win] Label Printer Question

[Eric Rosenberg]

I've inherited a Brother QL-550 label printer. Its a one label at a time 
printer with the labels on a roll. I'd love to use it for QSL labels.


Are any of you familiar with this gizmo, and have you used it with a 
DX4Win or any other logging program or BV?


If so, please let me know.

[Dx4win] label printer

[Michael J. Fairlie]

Need some advice in regard to printing address and qsl labels. Has anyone had 
any success with using label printers ( such as Brother brand) instead of 
regular printer? I want to be able to do single or small batch labels without 
using sheets of labels in a regular printer.
Any advice would be appreciate.

Thanks for all the replies. Obviously, I had not progressed along far 
enough in the label printing process to realize that Dx4win allows you to 
skip over missing labels and thus use a partial sheet of label; neat!

No warm up time for ink jets?  My Canon i560 inkjet does a little dance
that lasts for over a minute when it first turns on.  My Lexmark laser
takes maybe 5 seconds from power on switch to when it starts printing. 
:-)  Guess we should be careful with generalizations!  (And there's no
comparison for print speed.  Now I'm making generalizations!)

Yes, you can just print one or two labels at a time and save the rest on the

[Dx4win] Label printer

Hi guys,

So far I have received only 3 answers about the label printer question:

I'm intending to buy a label printer, something like a Dymo 400 or a Brother
QL-500. As far as I know those printers do use thermal print technology.

The questions are:

Do the label fade away after some time?

Do I need to order some kind of refill? I mean, any kind of tape or
something like that?

Any impression will be very much welcome.

The ansewers:

1 -
I've been thinking the same thing, especially having been in the barcode
industry for a few years.

Direct thermal stock does not generally have a long shelf life to begin
with, and I also worry about what will happen in 10+ years to all those QSLs
with the nice labels attached to them.

Has anyone put some heat on these labels to simulate what will happen over
time?
1.  Leave in direct sunlight for a day or so?
2.  Leave on top of your nice and warm tube amp?
3.  Try to write on the label with a hot soldering iron?

I couldn't easily find anything regarding lifespan of these labels on the
Dymo web site.

Cesar,

Can you summarize the responses and reply to the list?

Thanks,

Cliff K3LL/6


2 -
Hi Cesar,
I'm agree with K3LL/6 about the lifetime of this type of labels (I used a
fax machine with this type of printing long time ago and, few months after
we receive the fax, it was impossible to read it) and don't forget the price
of a labels roll. It's more and more expensive than a box of sheets with
adhesive labels.
With this printer you print only labels not other type of document.
Yes, it's a pretty nice printer but I'm not sure it's a good choice in a ham
shack.

Cesar,
I am using the Dymo 400 and I LOVE it. It was easy to install and there is
an app note for setting it up. I can print labels from DX4WIN and mailing
labels from qrz.com

Well, I think I will keep doing the label with my laser print.

 There's no waste on the labels.  When you finish printing and have less
than a full sheet, just tell the next print job how many labels you have
used, and it automatically starts with the first one available. 
(Assuming you use them the way DX4WIN does - vertical columns from top
left to bottom right.)  DX4WIN does that with just your intervention at
the start of the print job.  Works great.  No waste.

73,  Duane

 Inkjet printers can be purchased for $25 US. Of course it takes up

I use a laser printer to  direct print on the QSL cards.

I have used an inkjet in the past.   It prints a less than desirable results. 
 It will blur if it accidentally  comes in contact with a liquid source.  

I was given a Samsung  ML-1210 laser about 2 years ago.  The comments about a 
professional looking  QSL keep coming over and over.  The toner is fused to 
the paper with little  to no chance of it being blurred like an inkjet.

If I need to print 1 QSL  I drop in 1 card and print just one.  

When the cartridge is empty I  buy toner after market and recharge the 
cartridge myself. Some have been  recharged 8 or 9 times. Toner comes in 90 gr. 
bottles for about $4 US or  less.  A new toner cartridge is about $70+. 
Recharged 
cartridges are  about $50 in the stores or via Internet sales. 

The biggest cost has been  for Alcohol cleaner sheets at Staples or Office 
Depot. They run about $4 each  but are worth the costs for a clean printer.  

End result is a very  clean, permanent, professionally looking QSL at very 
low cost.   

Most stores use thermal register receipts.  Looking at old sales  receipts 
months later they have faded. It would be very discouraging to pull out  the 
QSL 
card years later and the thermal label is unreadable. 

Overall I  would say a direct print with a laser printer sales time, money 
and produces a  better result.  I can print much more with a printer than label 
 
maker.  

I'd leave the label maker to printing address labels for  envelopes not for 
the QSL information. 

73,
Tony N2MFT
