Does exactly what it says, after a little struggle to download the software.

I am completely digitally illiterate and was hoping that I could get this to work without having to download and install software. In fact my computer did seem to recognise it although it made that " new device" sound when I plugged it in. It took a few minutes looking at YouTube videos ( there are some really good ones) and I did have to download and install the program/app, but then it worked like a charm. Like all software I don't really understand it and I'm sure I'm not using it properly or to anything like its full potential. But I could quickly get it to print out tiny labels for microscope slides, and larger ones for everyday use. I'm very pleased with it and glad I bought it.

Essential for mail order enterprises

This is the second QL700 I have owned, the first having become somwhat unreliable after 6 years hard use. Eliminates the need for unsightly and unprofessional hand written labels. It has also come in useful for a variety of other labeling applications.
