No ink needed

Powered by ZINK® Zero-Ink® Printing Technology, the secret’s hidden in the label
rolls. Colour crystals in the paper are activated by heat to create full colour labels with
no need for ink, which makes this handy little printer even easier to fit into your life.

Labels of
all sizes

Create labels to the
length you require

Available in five dierent widths, Brother’s
full colour label rolls guarantee a professional
finish for every project. Simply slot in
the roll you need and o you go!

With 9mm, 12mm, 19mm, 25mm and
50mm widths to choose from, the

great for printing full colour photos.

Meet the
expert

Don’t just take it from us ­crafting expert, Rosemary
Merry has been using her
Design 'n' Craft printer
for all her recent projects,
from cards and gifts to
home decorations.

To create this birthday card,

I started by making a series
of cardstock layers as my base. Next,
using the 12mm tape, I designed a
personalised banner and printed four
of the same design, sticking these
down in a border around the edges.

I then selected the 50mm roll, and
printed a basket graphic from the
Easter collection in the Brother Color
Label Editor app’s art section.

As a separate design, I layered groups
of flowers, duplicating the images,
resizing and overlapping them until I was
happy. I printed them and stuck them

to the card using dimensional adhesive
to make the flower basket appear 3D.
Finally, I used the 19mm roll
to create a small message tag
to add a personal touch.

I would have never been able to
create a birthday card with as much
personalisation as this without the help
of Brother’s new Design 'n' Craft printer,
let alone make something
that looks so professional!”
