Great Labeler
easy to use and the labels are common enough to find in store on island. The price was just right.

organized!
this is a great little printer. i have not tried too many things on it, i am not too technically advanced, but my neighbor figured it out immediately. one thing i did to avoid wasting tape between items is just to string along each title with only a space or two between them and then use scissors to cut them apart afterward. my shoe boxes have never looked so good!

Works as advertised, turns off too soon
After two weeks it's fast, reliable and I like the set of printing options. It shuts down too quickly during idle time even while plugged in and I haven't yet figured out how to change that.

my review
Great product. New to me though as I've never used a label machine before. Has a lot of interesting features that I'm becoming familiar with. Once I master everything though, I'm confident that I will truly enjoy this machine and the convenience it offers.

Does what's claimed it will do, and does it well.
I would never have paid the full price for this labeler, but when Amazon offered it for around thirty bucks, I couldn't pass it up. I don't believe the software (for using the printer with a computer) is rated for Windows Vista, but it's supposed to work with everything below that. You have to provide the USB cable. I believe this printer was mainly designed to sell a lot of tape cartridges for Brother. The default setting has rediculously wide margins before and after a label's text. Even if you narrow the margins, or select "none", the leading edge still has nearly an inch of tape that you must cut off (it prints a mark to show you where). So, at the very least, you'll waste about an inch of tape for every label you make. The cartridges aren't cheap (about $11 and up). They're nice in the fact that you can change the cartridges out before they're empty. This means you can put different widths of tape in for different applications with no trouble or other waste. Changing the cartridge is simple. Each label is printed, cut, and ejected when you're done. It's expensive to operate, but if you can get one dirt cheap like I did, it's kind of worth it.
