Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been looking for an electronic labeler for quite some time, and I'm happy I got a chance to review this labeler from Brother. In short, it's quite impressive but might be a bit overkill for home use but would be amazing in the workplace.
Setup and install was a snap. All ou have to do is drop in the starter cartridge and drop the CD into the CD drive. The CD walks you through the install and the device plugs directly into a USB port. It's powered by an AC adapter or 8 AA batteries. Total install time was around 5 minutes.
The P-touch Editor software is pretty straight forward in use. It has a number of built-in templates for addresses, cables, asset management, albums, IDs and more. One of the cool things is that there are templates by "purpose", for example, labeling camera memory cards (CF, SD, etc.) Click the dropdown, and it automatically brings up a template. Even without opening the manual, I was able to start cranking out labels for my camera gear (for starters.) You can add clipart, photos, do text manipulation and make pretty neat labels. I threw in my corporate logo into a label and was able to print out very nice looking and non-smearing labels.
The labeler supports multiple tape widths. The device comes with 24mm/0.94" tape. If you're not sure what tape is in the labeler, the P-touch Editor can check the device and tell you what size tape is in the labeler - that is, if you don't look through the transparent lid on the device that tells you what size you have. Pretty nice.
The software also comes with a fairly good software updater, that not only downloads the latest templates and desktop software, but also updates the firmware for the unit itself.
I've spent a good two hours with the labeler thus far, and have been on a labeling spree around the house. The labeler might be a bit of an overkill for a home user, but for a small office or workplace, it's pretty slick. The device is easy to use - almost foolproof. This labelmaker looks and feels like it means business.
