Printing business labels—file-folder labels, mailing labels, return-address labels, and the like—has the feel of a serious task. The Brother QL-570 Professional Label Printer ($100 street) manages to turn a boring chore into—well, maybe not your idea of fun, but a much easier job than it could be. The QL-570 has a distinctly gadgety feel to it, with graceful lines and a handsome, two-tone design: silver and dark gray. It delivers great speed, a wide assortment of labels to print on, and the easiest approach I’ve yet seen to changing from one type of label to another.

The QL-570 is Brother’s second-generation office label printer for labels up to just over 2.4 inches wide. Earlier models combined an impressive piece of hardware with less-than-impressive software. The QL-570 retains everything good about the previous hardware (most notably, the ease of switching between different rolls of labels); improves some hardware features, like speed and size; and brings the software almost up to same level as the hardware, putting it within shooting distance of “impressive.”
