Why choose the genuine Brother CZ-1002 full color label roll
Genuine Brother CZ roll for the VC-500W printer: ZINK paper, full color printing without ink (the color crystals are in the paper), cut to the required length.
Die-cut or continuous?
The continuous roll is cut by the printer to the required length (from a few millimeters to 1 m); die-cut labels have a fixed size, faster when you always print the same format. Other references in the same family: CZ-1001 (9 mm x 5 m), CZ-1003 (19 mm x 5 m), CZ-1004 (25 mm x 5 m), CZ-1005 (50 mm x 5 m).
Printers compatible with the CZ-1002
The CZ-1002 is designed for the following model:
Check the exact reference of your printer; DK rolls are used on QL printers, with the supplied spool.
Length and yield
5 m of roll, cut to the required length; for example about 50 labels of 10 cm. The printer detects the roll automatically; there is no ink to replace.
Use
Place the roll on its spool in the printer, guide to the front, close the cover: the printer detects the roll type. Set the length in the software; the printer cuts automatically (built-in cutter depending on the model). Thermal paper keeps best away from heat, light and humidity.
Use and tips
The CZ-1002 (12 mm) suits variable-length labels: long addresses, signage, barcodes, shelving.
Store rolls in their packaging, away from light, heat and humidity: thermal paper darkens with heat and UV. DK labels are designed for indoor use; for outdoor or damp surfaces, prefer film rolls (DK-22xxx film) or laminated TZe tapes. Genuine rolls are detected automatically by the QL printer (format and length).
