The Brother DK11201 is a consumable for label printers, specifically developed for use in Brother QL-series printers. It is a roll of pre-cut individual labels in the format 29 mm x 90 mm, made of paper and printed with black text on a white background. The labels are designed for use in office and private environments and are suitable for general labeling tasks such as displaying logos, barcodes, shipping information, or addresses. The printing technology is based on thermal direct, where the ink is transferred to the paper by heat, without requiring ink or toner. The labels are self-adhesive, enabling easy application to various surfaces.
Applications
The labels are intended for indoor use and are not suitable for outdoor environments. They are not waterproof, moisture-resistant, oil-resistant, chemical-resistant, heat-resistant, or corrosion-resistant. The surface is smudge-resistant, meaning the prints do not easily smear when touched shortly after printing. The labels are not laminated or self-laminating, and therefore do not feature an additional protective layer. Use is restricted to environments where no high demands are placed on resistance to external influences.
Features and Equipment in Detail
The roll contains 400 individual labels, each pre-cut in the format 29 mm x 90 mm. The labels are made of paper and feature black text on a white background, ensuring clear readability. The packaging includes a single roll per pack, delivered in a box. The packaging dimensions are 115 mm (width), 5 mm (depth), and 115 mm (height), with a package weight of 1 kg. The labels are suitable for storage for up to five years if stored under appropriate conditions.
Technology Explained Simply
Thermal direct technology operates without ink or toner. The printer heats specific print zones on the label paper, making the black color visible. This technology is particularly suitable for short texts and addresses, as it works quickly and cost-effectively. The labels are not designed for use in environments with high temperatures or humidity, as they do not feature special protective coatings. Print quality is sufficient for everyday applications, with smudge resistance being an important property for handling after printing.
Compatibility and Accessories
The labels are compatible with a range of Brother QL printers, including the models QL1050, QL1060N, QL500, QL500A, QL550, QL560, QL560VP, QL570, QL580N, QL650TD, QL700, QL710W, and QL720NW. Use is limited to these devices, as the labels are specifically developed for the DK-series tape types.
Installation and Mounting
The label roll is inserted directly into the printer, with the use of the correct tape types (DK) ensuring that the labels are properly recognized and processed. Installation requires no additional tools or instructions, as the roll is simply inserted into the printer's loading slot. The labels are pre-cut, allowing them to be easily torn off and applied after printing.
Operational Advantages
Using original Brother DK11201 labels ensures high print quality and reliability, as they are specifically developed for thermal direct technology. The clear readability of black text on a white background ensures good visibility. Smudge resistance prevents smearing during handling. The labels are ideal for use in offices and private environments where quick and easy labeling is required. Storage capability of up to five years enables planned inventory management without quality loss.
