Personalise Christmas cards and more with the Brother VC-500W Design ‘n’ Craft printer

Christmas is around the corner and now is the perfect time to get creative with Brother’s VC-500W Design ‘n’ Craft printer – it’s perfect for creating unique and personalised Christmas cards and gifts.

The VC-500W Design ‘n’ Craft printer is a fantastic little product with big possibilities. Sure, this label printer can do the basics – keep your office in order etc – but it also comes with an excellent design app that helps you produce stunning designs for all possibilities. Within the app there are hundreds of built-in icons, frames, filters, fonts and backgrounds. And it’s compatible with PC, Mac, iOS and Android so you can use it from a Smartphone or other mobile device.

Unlike other label printers on the market, this product prints in full colour. However you don’t need to buy separate ink as the this uses Zink technology. Colour is stored within the label and activated by heat. There are five different sizes of labels to choose from so you can print from 9mm to 50mm wide.

• – Scrapbooking – add a personal element to scrapbooks with small but perfectly formed photos and other images.
