Q: QuestionHow about transparent labels?

Asked 5 years ago by Nom.

• A:Answer No, since the "ink" is built-in to the labels. If they were transparent, there wouldn't be any way to produce the ink.

Q: QuestionIs it possible to use labels for the original black and white brother label printer in the 500w model if you are only needing black and white?

Asked 5 years ago by Luci.

Q: QuestionI am wondering can I change the label cartridges mid use? For example if I am making 25mm labels and I need to make a 50mm label and vice versa can I change out the cartridge with out the rest of the roll going to waste? Has anyone tried this?

Asked 5 years ago by Aimee.

• A:Answer Yes, that's no problem. Print out one label and remove the cartridge, replace it and print the next. There might be a little wasted (2-3mm), but not much. It's not like these are light sensitive and can't be removed.

Q: QuestionCan I print black labels with white lettering on this printer? Is the label paper water resistant? Lastly, it states that labels can be up to 2 inches in width, does that mean height or length?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Wow, that's a bunch. 1. You can print any colors. If you choose black and white, fine. 2. It seems to be water resistant. I don't know just how much. I've used it for labels in the refrigerator, and they've stuck fine despite condensation. I haven't submerged them. 3. Either. If you use a roll of 2" labels, you can either do it landscape or portrait, so it will be 2"x whatever, or whatever x 2".
