Pictures I see of Brother labels, a black portion shows on each new label. Is this a file photo issue? I need plain white.

There are 400 labels. I have tried "off the wall labels" before and they DO NOT work well in my brother "GL-570" or near the quality paper as "DK" labels.Steve S. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

thank you for your reply. This was exact the same issue I had. The brother customer service rep. helped me through the procedure you have outlined above. Your post will be helpful if it happens again. Thanks

No. You must use Brother-branded labels, which come on a special reel. The configuration of the reel tells the printer what size labels are in the machine. This pissed me off at first, but this printer is so inexpensive and the Brother labels are not outrageously priced, so I got over it.

It is not marked "Brother", but it seems to be new and not remanufactured. It fits perfectly and has been operating correctly. No error messages from the machine!

Yes they are! I wondered also at first when considering the purchase of the Brother labeler and various labels because the photos were not that informative (you can't see the sticky part of the labels) - just know that this is a great system!

You need to buy labels from Brother that are specifically deaigned for this printerI do not recall them having round labels

User's Guide starting at page 74, Replacing Ink Cartridges. Do not take out cartridges if you do not need to replace. When told to replace, cartridge retains small amount of ink to prevent air from drying out and damaging print head. For each new cartridge you install, press yes for new to reset ink dot counter for that color. If not brand new, press no. I find nothing in the instructions that suggests that black only will not work. Colors obviously interact. To play it safe with your machine a visit to Brother on line would be my best advice.

Like others, I've only bought the Brother version, so I can't vouch for the aftermarket ones. Brother version works just fine, and since I don't do heavy printing with it, the price difference isn't important.

Something is odd on the website. What I got was a "Brother Home and Office Labeler - PTD200 (White)" which is what is says on my list of orders on

I found generic labels on Amazon that were made specifically for this Brother printer and they worked fine. They were significantly less expensive.

You should be able to go on Avery's website and locate a template, I think they come in a Word document. To be honest, every label that I have ever printed comes out a little crooked due to at-home-printers. The trick is to use a design that doesn't make the flaw so obvious. Their example of the wide green border would make a crooked print really obvious, but something with a solid color background would show better.

Hello Sarah, I have a PTouch QL-500, the cartridges are glued together and are destroyed when trying to take apart to re-use. Therefore, due to the cost savings, I have started to buy House Labels' re-useable cartridges. I find that their cartridges work well and their labels are holding the print, meaning the print is not fading as a label gets older. The cost of a Brother cartridge is really high and to have to pitch it, into recycle is too costly.

you will need a house label: cartridge .the brother cartridge does not come apart, and will not allow you to load the new labels. once you buy the cartridge you can use it over again .

These are plain continuous labels, but if you don't have a brother printer to setup the desire length during the printing process, these aren't the ones that you want, because you will need to die cut them.

The backer is white - not as bright as the front, but I have printed on the wrong side already. (The other batch of labels I had like this had a printed backer - made it much easier to tell.)

This is interesting, since this is a cartridge only printer, in which the label material is a shinny white, black, gold or yellow. Sounds as though they may have developed a new cartridge with fabric tape and permanent glue.
