Wide-format label printer

The Brother QL-1100 is a desktop direct-thermal printer that produces labels up to 4.00 inches wide. It targets small businesses, warehouses and online sellers who need high-volume shipping, barcode and product labels without ink or toner cartridges. The unit includes an auto cutter, USB 2.0 and USB Host interfaces, and ships with starter rolls and software. Windows, macOS and Linux are supported.

Upgrade from narrower printers

Moving to this model makes sense when you must print 4-inch shipping labels, compliance labels or continuous banners up to 3.00 feet long in a single pass. The auto cutter removes the manual tear step and eliminates waste from pre-cut sheets. The jump is worth it if your current printer tops out at 2.4 inches or lacks an integrated cutter for batch jobs.

Sustained throughput

Rated at up to 69 standard address labels per minute at 300 x 300 dpi, the mechanism maintains speed across long print runs because direct-thermal technology has no warm-up cycle and no consumable ribbons to replace. The 7.8 MB flash memory stores templates locally, reducing host dependency during repeated batch printing. Continuous-length rolls and the auto cutter keep the workflow uninterrupted for high-volume fulfilment shifts.
