Compact Wireless Color Label Printer
The Brother VC-500W is a new wireless compact color label and photo printer that uses ZINK Zero Ink technology to produce vivid full-color output without ink cartridges, ribbons or toners. It prints labels, photos and stickers up to 17 inches long on adhesive-backed paper that resists water, tearing and smudging. The free Color Label Editor app and P-touch Editor software provide thousands of design elements for creative and professional results.
Home crafters, small offices and event planners
This printer suits anyone who wants portable, ink-free color printing for organization, gifts, party favors or business labels from a smartphone or tablet via wireless direct or network connection. Buyers who need high-volume barcode rolls, industrial durability or thermal-transfer printing for harsh environments should look at a different class of device.
ZINK Zero Ink technology
The single specification that decides fit is the ZINK Zero Ink printing method, which embeds all color in the paper itself so no consumables except the media are required. This makes the VC-500W ideal for low-maintenance, on-demand color labels and photos up to 17 inches long, but it means you must use compatible ZINK paper for every print job.
