What Are Brother DK Labels?
Brother DK labels are label rolls designed for use with Brother QL label printers. They use direct thermal printing technology, which means there’s no need for ink, toner or ribbon and every label prints cleanly and efficiently.
There’s two types of Brother DK labels. Dire-cut labels, which come in pre-set sizes ideal for various uses such as address labels, file organisation, folder tabs, signage and ID badges. The other type is continuous rolls, which allow you to cut the labels to any length, making them perfect for signs, shelving, name tags and custom-sized labels.
DK labels come in a range of colours and materials, including white, yellow, clear and specialist options like black and red printing. This makes them suitable for everything from everyday office admin to more specific needs such as safety messages, stock identification and visitor badges.
Please Note:
Black and red labelling can only be printed on specific label rolls, using the Brother DK-22251, a 62mm continuous paper label roll
