I am so happy with this label maker
I am so happy with this label maker! It works like a dream. I used a label maker in a previous job, so I already knew about the waste of tape ... But if you do it right, you can minimize the waste a bit. All in all, I highly recommend this unit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Device
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2018
Verified Purchase
I've just labelled some things using 12mm (1/2") and 6mm (1/4") tape. Great print jobs...nice and clear. What I was pleasantly surprised with was that I didn't have to reset any fonts in order to use the 6mm tape. Just pop the 1/4" tape cartridge in...and go. This isn't about the label maker itself...it's great, but the manual is horrendous to read. I had to go online to figure out how to keep from losing one inch of tape on each end during printing. Spoiler: Just set the margin to NARROW in the settings. You'll still have the wasted inch at the beginning, but if you have several labels to print, just press SPACE twice and cut between them. Another thing the instructions were not clear on: Fold the printed labels in the middle running long ways. You have to peel two halves off to expose the sticky part. Other than that, I'm delighted with this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great label maker
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2021
Verified Purchase
I've used this little label maker for several things. All my file tabs are very neat now, all the items in my pantry are identifiable with proper labels, all my canisters are labeled with the contents, and all my spice and herb jars have very pretty scrolled labels. I've had so much fun I'm looking for more things to label. It's very easy to use - - learning the different fonts and sizes of fonts takes a little time. I printed out several labels of different font and sizes and stuck them to a large piece of paper that I keep with the label maker. The tapes are a little expensive but they last quite a long time.. I use white or clear exclusively and have not experimented with colored tapes.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works perfectly
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2016
Verified Purchase
It works perfectly, but I'll never use all of it's abilities.

Some of the complaints I saw were about the batteries. Unless you have a defective device it shouldn't be a problem. My old one lasted two years on one set of 6 batteries. In fact it still works. Or it would if I hadn't taken the batteries out of it to put in this one. :)

If you do use this a lot, just plug a wall wart into it. It's a common 9 volt in connector, you probably already have a few laying around. I have 3. If not order one. But most people aren't going to run the batteries down all that fast.

I've also seen complaints about how much wasted tape it produces. That's common for these tape printers. If you read the instructions you'll find ways to reduce wastage.

Or, even better, don't buy Brother P-touch tapes. I bought  Label KINGDOM 2 Pack Compatible Brother P-touch TZe335 TZ335 Label Tape (12mm) x 26.2ft (8m)  and it worked without a problem.

In short, this works amazingly well but if you actually READ the instructions, you'll be happier with it.

The media could not be loaded.
 This label maker works great. It worked on the P-Touch embellish ribbon as well as some off-brand labels. I posted a video of the process. It does leave about an inch of tape on either side of the label, but for how easy it is to use and the fact that I’m able to use more affordable cartridges, I’m okay with that. 10/10 recommend!

4.0 out of 5 stars Handy Tool When Working Properly
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2019
Verified Purchase
We initially purchased this for our business to make inventory tags at each of our locations. The first model we had (had slightly more features and was black) disappeared and we replaced it with this one. We have used it very sparingly but I have had issues with printing blanks. The trouble shooting has suggested to replace the cartridge, but it continues with multiple cartridges. I had found a hint at some point to stick a pencil in the gear and twist it a magical amount of times and replace, but I can't find where I read that and my guess on the magical amount of turns is no longer working. So for a few months now I haven't got it to print anything but blanks.

In the meantime, this is a decent nice looking label maker, pretty easy to use, has a lot of options. You can buy different color label tape and cartridges based on your needs. Font styles are easy to change, etc. The first model we had never had any issues, this may just be a total fluke. It also goes through very long periods of inactivity and I had taken it out of its package due to lack of storage space, so it's maybe been damaged somehow. The only other con is that this model doesn't have the option to reduce the amount of space before and after your label, which causes a lot of tape waste. If you are going to use this very frequently, that might cause great annoyance. They have made other models with the ability to change that, so I've read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modern update for old reliable Brother PT
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2015
Verified Purchase
OUTSTANDING replacement for my 15yo Brother PT-1810, which has found a new home with a friend -- don't get me wrong, it's still going strong after 15 years of steady use.

This has all of the features I've come to trust; specific point sizes, alignment, tabs, tape length for files, three lines or more depending on tape, QWERTY keyboard, symbols (who can ever tell which corner of the scanner bed is The One without a simple arrow?), and a clear display. The only feature it lacks, and really Brother, we are your PT-family, we neeeeed this, too, is an automatic label cutter. The PT-d400 can use an adapter, and is sold with one for about $10 more on Amazon.

This Labeler is clean and modern looking, smaller than my old model, and lighter in the hand. The 18 BOLD label is identical, making all of my labels consistent with previous. Brother labels don't yellow over time, unlike Dymo's, so many of the older labels are still going strong after 8-10 years on files, cords, or tools.

If you've ever stared at your drafted printer and wondered, "Face up or face down?" You really need a PT. is this the cord for the DVD player or the subwoofer...how did she set this up? You need a good labeler! Or a drawer full of random keys, a quart jar of screws, you name it!

Do I sound a little bit nuts? Well, you can take a peak in my dresser, and find the travel bottles labeled, no mystery gunk. The computer box has no phantom cables, and the tangle plugged into the surge protector is easily sorted by tag. Just sayin'.
