2 QL-800 User Guide
The QL-800 is designed with all the power of a high-end digital label printing press, but
it's sold at just a fraction of the price and fits on your desk or tabletop. The QL-800 is a
versatile, in-house digital color label printer that prints both labels in a range of widths
at high speeds, and in high-quality.
The QL-800 makes great-looking labels that perform well even in challenging
conditions. Your products will look appealing and professional, with bright, vivid inks
that reproduce a wide gamut of colors. Genuine QL-800 inks are available in large
capacity, high-yield separate cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) cartridges.
