The answer is sadly no. Most Brother labels, including the DK 2225 , can only print in black and white on the QL-800 or any other Brother label printers. But luckily, with a QL-800 printer, you can print red with our DK-2251 Black/Red on White Continuous Labels .
DK 2251 label rolls are popular because they allow you to print in red, which is an important feature for many individuals, business owners, and office employees. While regular colors like black and white are good for common messages, they can’t stand out as much. When you need to label storage bins, mark folders, print warning tags, etc., highlighting important information is essential. DK 2251 is the perfect choice for those who need to emphasize key details.
Main features of Brother DK 2251 include:
Color: Black/Red
Size:62mm x 30.48m
Material:Paper
Adhesive: Reliable on extreme temperature (14℉~158℉). The patented Premium Adhesive provides long-lasting powerful stickness.
Compatibility: QL 800 range, including QL-800, QL-810N and QL-820NWB
FYI: DK-2251 label rolls only work with the three QL printers mentioned above because these printers are equipped with two different print heads that enable two-color printing by applying different temperatures. So check if you have the right type of Brother label printers before purchasing DK-2251.

FAQ
Do you have any other labels that can print red on Brother label printers?
No. For now, Only DK-2251 can meet your need to print black and red. Make sure you have QL-800, QL-810N or QL-820NWB to print red color on your labels.
I use these to print information tags and barcodes/prices for my boutique. The tags allow me to include all information required for customers to understand the item fully, and because the labels are sticker, it allows them to transfer this information into booklets which they keep for referencing. Highly recommend.
I have a Brother QL-800, and these label rolls fit perfectly. The glue sticks well to smooth surfaces, and the printing is clear. I like that each roll has its own mounting plate. I use a lot of labels because I like to stay organized, so these will last me a few months, but I will need more later. If I notice any problems with quality or durability, I will update this review.
