35 years’ experience within the computer and printer industry.
The Brother PT-E560BTVP is a heavy-duty, portable thermal-transfer label printer built for demanding jobs where clarity, durability and mobility matter. Whether you’re labelling wires, patch-panels, data racks, electrical switchboards, safety signage or industrial assets — this printer produces professional-grade laminated labels and heat-shrink tube labels that withstand harsh conditions (water, chemicals, abrasion, temperature extremes).
With a full QWERTY keyboard, backlit graphic display, and real-world handy features like Bluetooth + USB-C connectivity, auto-cutter, and pre-loaded industrial templates / symbols — the PT-E560BTVP brings the flexibility of office-style label design to the worksite or van. You can print directly from the unit, or connect to a computer/phone to import custom layouts, logos, QR codes/barcodes or bulk label lists.
It’s ideal for professionals in electrical, data/comms, telecom, security, facilities, maintenance and industrial trades: anywhere you need durable labelling done cleanly, quickly and on-site.
Wide Label & Tube Support (up to 24 mm): Prints on laminated TZe tapes and HSe heat-shrink tubes from 3.5 mm up to 24 mm — flexible enough for cable tags, patch-panel labels, safety signage, asset tags, pipe/wire wraps, and more.
Durable, Industrial-Grade Labels: Uses thermal-transfer printing on laminated/heat-shrink media — labels resist water, chemicals, abrasion, UV, and temperature extremes (suitable for harsh environments).
Fast Printing with Auto-Cutter: Up to 30 mm/s print speed (≈ 1.2 in/s) when powered via USB-PD adapter; auto full- or half-cut lets you produce single labels or a continuous easy-peel strip — ideal for batch or repetitive labelling.
Built-in QWERTY Keyboard + Graphic Display: Full keyboard and a large backlit LCD (3-line, 18 chars × 3) gives on-device control with clear preview before printing — making it easy to label onsite without a PC.
Flexible Connectivity: Built-in Bluetooth 5.0 + USB Type-C — print from a computer, tablet or smartphone using companion apps/label-software (e.g. for custom templates, logos, barcodes, QR codes, CSV import, etc.).
Pre-loaded Industrial Templates & Symbols: Includes 476 industry-specific symbols (electrical, data, safety, AV, etc.) + built-in label templates (cable wrap, patch-panel, faceplate, conduit, safety tags) to speed up typical field jobs.
Portable & Jobsite-Ready: Runs off a rechargeable Li-ion battery (included), comes with carrying case and wrist strap — small enough for tool belt or van; ideal for onsite electrical/data/comms work.
Versatile Output & Label Types: Supports laminated sticky labels (office / asset / shelf tags), flexible ID tape (for cables/pipes), flag-labels, heat-shrink tube marking, strong-adhesive labels (for rough or metal surfaces) — good for varied industrial labeling tasks.
