The advantage of thermal label makers like Brother QL series is the absence of ink or ribbon as they use heat to emboss labels, but thermal labels can fade quickly in sunlight or wear off from rubbing.
Despite the fading issue of thermal labels, they are still great for labeling household items like file folders economically, especially with inexpensive third-party label stock available at the same quality as Brother's.
Brother QL printers offer flexibility with label lengths only as needed, and affordable printing costs such as a two-inch label for about a penny using third-party label stock. However, they are not recommended for outdoor use or high-friction surfaces.
The Brother P-touch PT-D610BT Label Maker, at $99, is a versatile option with a built-in keyboard that can connect to PCs or mobile devices via Bluetooth, offering practicality for various labeling needs.
