QL-300 - CMYK + WHITE Toner-Based Digital Label Printer

Set your brand apart with CMYK + WHITE high-resolution 1200 dpi durable, vibrantly printed labels
Ensure a competitive cost of ownership with long-lasting cartridges and toner that delivers the utmost durability, water-fastness, and UV-resistance
Eliminate label waste with high precision built-in cutter
Developed with proven, reliable digital LED EP (electrophotographic) printing technology, the QL-300 is the first 5-color desktop label printer to deliver exceptionally durable and vibrant color labels, with the added capability of printing white. This capability opens up a realm of possibilities for product branding, allowing the user to print on a wide variety of cost-effective transparent, colored and metallic paper and synthetic label materials in a single pass.
