You may wonder how to print 2 or multi-color with your Brother printers.The sad thing is that most of labels compatible with Brother QL printers are monochrome (black on white) only. But the DK-2251 label is the unique one.

The DK-2251 labels stand out for their unique ability to add color to your labeling tasks.
On your Brother P-Touch app, there are 2 color modes: Black/Red and Monochrome. The Black/Red mode is designed for DK-2251 labels. Unlike other DK labels that only allow for black ink printing, the DK-2251 labels enable you to print in both black and red ink on a white background. This provides you eye-catching highlight benefit.
Although DK-2251 labels, which are 2.4 inches x 50 feet, may seem nothing special compared to other Brother continuous labels like DK-2205 , they are only compatible with three printers: Brother QL-800 , Brother QL-810W , and Brother QL-820NWB .
The answer is simple.
Brother designed only those three printers that can print Black/Red, instead of all Brother QL printers.
You can check out the specifications of the Brother QL-800 and Brother QL-1110NWB printers sourced from the Brother USA website.
The Brother QL-800 printer clearly mentions printing Black/Red, but the QL-1110NWB printer does not.
Printing black and red provides you more benefits that help you to emphasize important information.
In Office
They can be used to mark folders, shelves, or equipment, making it easier to store items and keep track of inventory.
In Retail
DK-2251 labels can be used to create eye-catching product tags or pricing labels that stand out on the shelves.
At Home
Those can be used for organizing pantry items, labeling storage bins, or even creating personalized gift tags.
You already know the benefits of printing Black/Red with DK-2251 labels, so you must want to know how.
It is very simple. Besides all the other necessary steps on your Brother P-Touch app and operation on Brother printers, you only need to do one more step before designing your labels: Change the Color Mode.
Just click on "Paper," and you will find "Paper Type" - "2-Color Mode/2-colour Mode." Then select "Black/Red" from the dropdown menu.
Now you can start designing.
If your design has already been created by others, you can simply select "Black/Red" from the dropdown menu for "Paper Type" when printing.
In conclusion, DK-2251 labels offer a unique solution for printing Black/Red that provides versatile benefits for marking, organizing, and catching the eye. They are only compatible with three printers: Brother QL-800 , QL-810W , and QL-820NWB because Brother only designed those three printers with a two-color mode feature. Don’t forget to select "Black/Red" in the "Paper Type" section when designing or printing your labels.

Betckey's labels are so much cheaper than dymo's official ones, but the quality is almost the same, and I'll always use Betckey as a replacement.
