Why choose the genuine Brother DK-11204 die-cut labels
Genuine Brother DK die-cut labels: white thermal paper, direct thermal printing without ink or toner, clean cut between labels. Permanent adhesive, for addresses, shipping, files and identification.
Die-cut or continuous?
Die-cut labels have a fixed size: fast printing and peeling, no setup. Continuous rolls are cut to the required length (up to 1 m) for long texts or non-standard sizes. Other references in the same family: DK-11219 (12 x 12 mm), DK-11203 (17 x 87 mm), DK-11221 (23 x 23 mm), DK-11218 (24 x 24 mm), DK-11209 (29 x 62 mm), DK-11201 (29 x 90 mm), DK-11208 (38 x 90 mm), DK-11207 (58 x 58 mm).
Printers compatible with the DK-11204
The DK-11204 is compatible with 22 Brother models (manufacturer list):
Check the exact reference of your printer; DK rolls are used on QL printers, with the supplied spool.
Length and yield
400 labels of 17 x 54 mm per roll. The printer detects the roll and the format 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. Labels peel off in one movement after the automatic cut. Thermal paper keeps best away from heat, light and humidity.
Use and tips
The DK-11204 (17 mm) suits address, shipping and file labels. The roll of 400 labels fits directly in the QL printer, which detects the format.
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).

Frequently asked questions
Is the DK-11204 compatible with my Brother device?
Yes if it appears in the list above (QL-1050 to QL-820NWBcVM). If in doubt, compare the exact reference of your device.
Do I need ink or toner?
No. QL printers use direct thermal printing: the paper darkens under the print head, there is no ink consumable.
How long does a DK label stay legible?
Several years indoors; thermal paper yellows under prolonged exposure to sun or heat. For outdoors or humidity, prefer a film roll.
Does the roll come with its spool?
Yes, each DK roll comes mounted on its spool, ready to insert in the printer.
How should rolls be stored?
In their packaging, away from light, heat and humidity; preferably use within two years.
