Last month, a customer asked us a question: Are these DK labels compatible with my Brother label printer? This is a common concern, especially for new small business owners who face a multitude of similar products in the market. Selecting the right-sized DK labels is crucial for achieving the best results with your Brother label printer. In this article, we organized the different sizes of Brother QL series printers and recommended several DK rolls to help you to select the right-sized DK labels.

Specifications of Brother QL Series Printers

The Brother QL series includes a variety of models, each designed to cater to different labeling needs. Here we listed all QL models and their specifications. Check this out if you are not sure about them.


Brother QL-550, Brother QL-570,Brother QL-580, Brother QL-600, Brother QL-650, Brother QL-700, Brother QL-800 Series

- Print Width: Up to 2.4 inches (62mm)


Brother QL-1100 Series, Brother QL-1050/1060

- Print Width: Up to 4 Inches (104mm)


Generally, there’s no need to worry about the diameter of a DK label roll being too large to fit in the printer; Manufactures already produce label rolls in correct Dia. to ensure the compatibility. But if you do want to make sure of it, refer to this article to measure your label roll.


Note: In the official documents, the maximum print width refers to "Media Size," not "Print Width." When actually printing, you can achieve the maximum print width written in this article.

Getting shipping and address labels wrong can lead to increased costs, inefficiencies, and potential delivery issues.
