 Should come with a pair of scissors December 26, 2007
Stephen Wald
I have owned this product for two years and it never fails to irritate. Not only does it waste Brother's ridiculously expensive tape, but it also fails to automatically trim labels symmetrically on both sides. This means the user has to MANUALLY TRIM at least one side with a pair of scissors to center the text neatly on the label. Oh, and while I'm on the subject of the text . . . It's a pixelated, utilitarian sans serif stretched to awkward proportions by some of the various "size" settings on the machine. If you're considering this product, I would seriously recommend one of those old-fashioned embossing labelers instead.
 Wasted Tape September 25, 2007
Charlotte Bronte Fan
The P-touch is capable of making labels, however, it's extremely frustrating to continue buying expensive tape for this label-maker, only to have to cut an inch of tape each time I print a label. I called the manufacturer in the hopes that I didn't set the machine properly but had an extremely frustrating conversation with their "customer service" representative who explained (not so patiently) that it is not a design flaw. The manufacturer intended for the machine to create an inch of lead in tape each time you print out a label. She acknowledged that they log calls EVERY day complaining about the wasted tape but insists they cannot do anything about it. Given the low cost of the machine, the real money-maker is in the cost of the tape itself so cutting off an inch of tape each time you use the machine tends to add up in wasted money. If I had known about this problem earlier, I would not have bought this machine.
It works well March 9, 2007

my complaint is the cost of the Tz tapes and the amount of tape it waste on each print. I've gotten to the point I setup multiple labels to print all at once and then cut into individual labels. It would be nice to have an AC adapter for the unit included with the labeler and smaller font for 3 line printing but the print is excellent and there are enough options in the fonts and layouts. I rated it a 3 because of the amount of wasted tape and the cost of the tape itself. (Can you say OEM? :D)
font size stuck ridiculously small October 1, 2006

Mine worked pretty well for about the first 50 labels that I made. Then the font size got stuck ridiculously small so that the message only covers about 10 percent of the tape surface. If you want really small labels with a hard-to-read font size, you could use my PT-1750 to print them out and then cut down with scissors to eliminate all of the wasted label area.
Wastes Tape, wastes tape, wastes tape! August 4, 2006

This thing wastes so much tape it is ridiculous. Don't buy this or you'll be kicking yourself after you realize how much tape it wastes and the price of the tape.
