Do I need to buy ink? or do I just have to buy tape? (if it needs ink what model #)

There is a tape sample included but it won't print many labels so I would suggest buying tape. You don't need any ink.

This label maker uses labels. TZ, I believe. Available in at least two widths. BTW, find the setting that allows small margins, by default the label maker has a long lead and tail of waste.

Hi Tina, Yes, this unit DOES come with ink. So much ink that I was able to refill my cartridge SIX TIMES! It is very easy to use, and if you follow the directions you won't have any problems or an "inky mess." Good luck and thank-you for your question :)

brother ink . com should have a chart that will tell you exactly what ink your model takes. I'm not sure.

There are drivers for this online. But I'm guessing you must have bought this printer in a garage sale - don't waste your time or money on new ink.

You are buying ink, not the cartridge, so it should work. That said, I didn't find that the kit worked very well.

Dawn,The ink cartridges are usually included with the photo paper.You can look for photo paper kit g-100 or g-200.Hope this helps

Dewayne, Just pop off the clear lens that the paper rolls through. The ink roller will be clearly visible. Pop it out [it will say pull up where you need to remove it] & snap the new one in.-Lou

yes, cartridge with inkif I were you, think twice about buying generic ink. It ruined my printer after a while. I too was trying to save money.

we purchased a printer that is designed to print on blank " printable" discs... so as far as I know, you have to buy a specific dvd printer.

Ken-One of the many reasons I bought this great printer was that it does not need ink.. it uses a thermal paper which imprints in response to heat. Why do you think you need ink? Are you using the correct paper? You can relax and forget about a backup ink supply for this baby!

You need to buy a black or color cartridge for it. You also need to buy badges (PVC cards). You also need to invest in the software program which is about 80 dollars. Unless you are really smart and use another program to write to the printer

If my mind serves me correctly I think you will need the usb cable to connect it to your computer. It was given to be as a birthday gift and I got ink to go with it, but I think it comes with some ink. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I think this is just the ink. You'll need refillable cartridges. I've had a really good experience with an external tanks system that comes with refillable cartridges. However, when using regular refillable cartridges, I had a problem with the printer not recognizing them. I think it has to do with the removal of the non-epson cartridge. With the external tank, you never have to remove them and there is a button that you can reset the microchip. Note, I have two epson printers and neither is your model.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand. Is there not enough ink in a cartridge to print on all of the tape in the same cartridge?

I bought mine new from Walmart for $29, and it came with ink. I'm not sure about buying used....

I haven't set up the printer yet. But I have not seen anything that suggests I need a specific type of printer. I will update if I find out something different.

Relying on the date purchased to determine which model you have is risky imo, I would just give them a call and they will ask for the serial number on your model and confirm which model you have and which cartridges you can use. I understand they have also come out with a life time cartridge for the older model as well.
