 Pretty nice, but a couple of kinksJul 12, 2010
A very nice product in many ways. I hate writing addresses and stuff because I don't write clearly. So this is great for popping those out. They look great, it's very fast.
Two problems that are somewhat annoying.
1) The (Mac) version of the software uses an insane amount of CPU. If I forget and leave the app running, my CPU fan starts blowing and I wonder what is then open the resource monitor to see it's the P-touch app, doing nothing but chewing on the CPU.
2) If I print more than one label at once, it very frequently jams by pulling the previous label back in too far and they become crumpled up. Luckily this is easy to work around, if I just print one at a time (even without cutting them off) it doesn't seem to happen.

I keep up with our company's computer equipment inventory and have thousands of records in our data base that I have to print and affix asset labels as they are updated. I needed an easier way to print a bar code and serial number on a permanent label by using the information already entered into our AS/400 database instead of risking errors by manually re-entering the information into a hand-held manual label maker.
We researched several label makers and chose the Brother QL-500 for its price, specifications, and recommendations.
When we received our Brother QL-500, I noticed it was as lightweight as our hand-held manual label maker. Loading and unloading labels are a breeze. Just pop up the lid, pull up the bar to release labels, remove old labels, drop in new labels, feed labels, push the tension bar back down to lock labels in, push the lid back down to close, plug into a USB port, & turn it on. After one of our programmers set up the fields to print from our data base, I added the printer and started printing crisp, clean labels within seconds. The easy slide cutter on the printer seems to never dull.
We have more than one Brother QL-500 and have had no problems. It is very lightweight and easily moved. I would recommend this product for the home or office.
 Great office toolApr 14, 2010
I purchased two of these - one for my home office and one for my husband's business. So easy to use and so much better than handwriting or feeding sheets thru a regular printer. You can keep address book on file and access when you need to print one or 50. Price was well worth it!
Fast and easy to useMar 30, 2010
As my auction sales increased with more packages to ship everyday I needed a way to avoid waiting in line at the Post Office to purchase postage and mail out my packages. This machine filled that need perfectly. I highly recomend the Brother QL-500.

Love It!Oct 18, 2009
Over the past two years we have bought three of this model labeler and they are all working without a hitch. Labels are a bit pricey but well worth it.
