I don’t have that one, but it looks like it does graphics. So if you wanted to you could use a graphics program like MS paint to make your image negative then print that. My labeler is the DYMO 400 and I was able to drive it with my windows 10 PC but as far as I know it does not do negative images with the provided software, so I would have to do the same thing.

You can buy the Brother tape/labels and they are pricey, but they do have a few options that you can’t get elsewhere.
For standard paper labels you can buy the (clone) rolls alone in several sizes, very affordable, but you need the cartridge [holder] that the rolls fit, and each size is different.
You can buy the clone rolls with a disposable cartridge, or with a reusable cartridge, or you can buy the cartridge and rolls separately.
You can buy the film tape for some Brother models and some sizes/colors, but most choices are from Brother only, at least in my searches. Never found any film tape that was cheap.
Even if you use paper 2.4" tape [continuous roll], you can print it 180 degrees, and have several lines depending on font size choices…[the label pic below is 2’4" paper printed that way] and they fit a 30ml bottle easily.
The free software has a lot of options in it, and it works well with Win10
If anyone knows of a good place to buy the film tape for a QL-700, please post. Any color.
The label on the left is from a Brother PT-1750 and is film tape. Borders/frames can be added to the label on the right also, using the QL-700…as can be images, but only in black and white.

P.S. The best thing about the thermal printers like Brother and Dymo is no ink cartridges are needed

Been keeping an eye on this thread since I joined for ideas and digging today in a box of “STUFF” a friend was so good to leave me to deal with what do I find but 2 Brother Label makers.
A new PT 2200
And a Home & Hobby III
Both powered up and tested fine.
Hot damn no more blue masking tape and my illegible chicken scratch handwriting.
Timing couldn’t have been better as I nearly pulled the trigger on one a few days ago.

I use a Brother label maker simple easy and small.
Brother P-Touch M Label Tape Size Chart
but 99% of the time I use Dot stickers esp while in the tweaking phase.
Available at office depot and Amazon
( could use it as a bulls eye also for target practice on a plate )

Product labels price depends upon the quality and size of the label. Higher the quality + size, higher will be the price for label designing. There are a lot of option available and you can design a label yourself. But if you are looking for custom and high quality professional label for your product your should go for a professional label maker.

Hello, and welcome! If you would like to create a vendor account, please send a message to @daath.
FYI: There might be a few folks here that would be interested in a full service label company, but this is a group of DIY oriented people, after all. Best of luck!

I use a Epson eco tank printer which allows me to refill the ink tanks myself and use glossy A4 self adhesive glossy paper which is water resistant. I design my own labels using paintshop Pro. I am very happy with my results.
