BROTHERP-Touch Label Maker, PC-Connectable Labeler, PTD600, Color Display, High-Resolution PC Printing, Black, Black/Gray

This works just as described. It takes a little time to figure out & not waste tape but it prints perfect. I would recommend if you want to label things. I use a label to keep track of my cords for the electronics & it makes it so easy.

Very easy to use, you can change the sizes so its very convenient for all your labelingWires, fuses, instructions etc.

Necesitaba una etiquetadora para algunos productos, así que compré esta después de revisar muchas marcas y estilos y leer muchas reseñas. Cuando llegó, había algunos rasguños en la pantalla y la carcasa de plástico, así que llamé a Amazon y me atendieron en un santiamén. ¡Gracias, Amazon por su generoso y rápido servicio! ¡Esta etiquetadora es un gran artilugio! Me gusta que se conecte a mi computadora y puedo enchufarlo para no tener que usar baterías. Tiene un tamaño agradable que se coloca discretamente al lado de mi computadora de escritorio. Descargué la aplicación para Mac para que sea más fácil hacer las etiquetas en una pantalla más grande y guardarlas en mi computadora. Me sorprendió el costo de las etiquetas de Brother, así que pedí un paquete de 5 etiquetas transparentes Anycolor (Amazon's Choice) a un precio más razonable. A los pocos días de la entrega, ya había etiquetado mis productos con marcos con volantes alrededor del texto y puse etiquetas simples en muchas cosas en la casa. Acabo de pedir otro paquete de 5 etiquetas blancas de la misma empresa para poder seguir etiquetando todo lo que tengo a la vista. Por extraño que parezca, recibir esta etiquetadora me animó a deshacerme de algunas pertenencias y hacer una organización seria. ¡Es un poco adictivo en realidad! Creo que finalmente voy a poner mi casa en orden, simplemente porque es muy divertido usar esta rotuladora. Lo recomiendo altamente.

I tried one of the less expensive Brother label printers, but returned it because I could not read the non-backlit LCD. It was very low contrast, and I was very disappointed. I searched for one with a backlight, and ran across this one - with an LED screen - in full color, and graphical user interface. I have to say, it is almost an Apple experience using it! Very very nice interface, once you figure it out, and extremely easy to use.I love the fact that you can have ½", ¾" and 1" tape from the same machine, and that it automatically detects the tape and the color of the tape and ink, so the display looks exactly like what you will see. With the option for close cut, you only lose about ¾" of tape for each label, which is very good.I have poor eyesight, so their thick font on 1" tape works great in my lab - I can read them without having to get up close and put on my reading glasses.In theory, the unit runs off of 6 AA batteries. However, I would say only if they are very fresh. The printer draws too much juice if the batteries are not in absolutely great condition.My first effort with the printer was a small disaster. I did not know how the cartridges worked, and the first cartridge had the tape coming out wrong (not going around the little corner). So, instead of the tape going thru the cutter and out the side of the printer, it was going back into the printer! And of course - what a mess! I managed to get the cartridge out, and remove the tape - I had the tape loop out about 6" with separated clear tape, the backing tape, and the ink tape all out in loops.So, I called Brother for help. Frankly, the guy answering the phone was of absolutely no help, and could not think - he had to follow a script. One element on the script was "Is this a genuine Brother tape?" No. Sorry, can't help you.Not what I would call great customer support. So, I went on YouTube and looked for "what is inside a Brother tape cartridge" and "how to fix a Brother tape cartridge." Once armed with that, I realized I only had to pull out the excess tape and cut it off, making sure it came out where it was supposed to. Lost about 10" of tape, no big deal, and it worked fine.While I cannot recommend their technical support, I can certainly recommend the machine! It does a fantastic job, with all of the options offered. It also can be connected to your computer as a label printer, and you can download software to make even fancier labels with that - so far, I have not needed anything I can't do right out of the machine.LED display with graphical user interface, multiple tape size support - a great product!

Must have for people who love to organize. However, the tapes are expensive to buy
