Price the correct DK supplies, not an unrelated pack of fanfold labels. ### A good shortlist for - Computer-based shipping and address labels - Continuous labels with automatic cutting - Buyers who want a documented DK media system ### Think twice if you need - Assuming iPhone AirPrint support - Comparing generic label costs without confirming DK compatibility ## The useful specifications. Verified manufacturer specifications | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Exact model | QL-1100C | | Selected US identifier | QL1100C | | Print method | Direct thermal | | Resolution | 300 dpi · manufacturer specification | | Media / print width | Up to 4.09 in media / 4 in print | | Label system | Brother DK pre-sized and continuous rolls | | Automatic cutter | Documented automatic cutter | | Current price / stock | Confirm at the retailer; no current offer is asserted here. | ## Will it work with your device? **iPhone / iPad** UNCONFIRMED No verified direct iPhone/AirPrint route for this C model. **Android** DOCUMENTED ROUTE iPrint&Label using a separately purchased compatible USB-to-go cable. **Mac** DOCUMENTED ROUTE USB and P-touch Editor; check current downloads for your macOS version. **Windows** DOCUMENTED ROUTE USB and P-touch Editor; Automatic Crop and Plug & Label are Windows-specific. A documented route is not a guarantee for every OS version, app or label size. Confirm your exact combination before buying. ### Keep these in view. - QL-1100C is not automatically identical to QL-1100. - Do not confuse the printer-only model with bundle QL1100CV4. - The current OS download requirements need checking before purchase. ## Where it fits in your workflow. Start from one real label PDF and the device you will actually use. Check the template, print scale, connection route and compatible supplies before judging the printer quote. A marketplace logo does not establish native integration. ## Read next.
