Brady M210 Review

I review the M210 industrial label maker from BRADY LABEL.
www.bradyid.com/
The added benefit to the updated model (the M210) is that you can now use pre-sized labels! A welcome addition for sure!
The main benefit of a BRADY label maker is the quality of labels. These labels will last for years!

    The Patch Panel label option is awesome, the first number is the distance between the ethernet ports on the patch panel. This option makes it very fast to label. Put in the first number and it prints six numbers out. A full size patch panel has 48 ports.

    Looks like they're going with the old HP inkjet chip nonsense so aftermarket labels can't be used. Great video. Thanks👍

    The reason I am watching your video is my new M210 just arrived, and the quick start guide is less useful than 1 pre-sized piece of toilet paper. I am not about to waste some tape just to figure all the features by trial and waste. For someone never use a Brady before without a detail instruction manual is absurd. I am quite impressed with the design and build quality.

    I was just thinking about upgrading to the newer model when i saw this review. Actually your review on the BMP 21+ convinced me to get that model when I was upgrading from my older dymo. I may have to hold off on upgrading though if the M210 is not compatible with the older cartridges cause I still have a bunch of them. Kinda weird you get the invalid cartridge message cause on the website when i was looking i recall it saying that the new model could use the older cartridges. Great review!

    M210 requires Brady cartridges & the cartridge has to be a new cartridge with the "A" printed on the cartridge. They use a small circuit board that electrically makes contact with the printer.

    The outdoor Vinyl labels can withstand UV. For the steam... no, I am not aware of any label for this printer that can withstand steam or the autoclave process. I am sure the company makes something for that application, just not with this label maker.

    It is more durable than inkjet due to the use of thermal transfer. Which means the ink is burned into the media instead of set on top and allowed to dry.

    Can it rotate text 90 degrees - so you can get vertical text on the strip? Like this ... S A M P L E Can it print more than one X-Height (Font Size) on a strip at a time? Does it do Barcodes? or QR Codes?

    Yes is can print vertical text (I think it is called banner portrait) you would need to keep hitting enter after each character. It cannot do multiple fonts on a strip, the font size is selected through a global setting (Any other Brady printer would let you do this) It can do both Barcodes and QR.
