About this business
Wasteful I hope the people at Brother read this review. Apparently, they think they have a smart system to sell more tape/ink by leaving a one inch space on both ends of each label. This creates a giant 2 inches of extra space on each label you print. You cannot change the margin to less than 1 inch. Not only do you have to buy more labels over time, but it makes the label making process time consuming and cumbersome. You have to manually trim each label to get it to fit on a standard file folder or to suit other purposes. W... read more
Brother Labeler Like this labeler for cleaning up my files. Will be of more use after I have had it a while and learn how to make better use of it. Really could use better user manual.
Uses too much tape While the printer works fine and is priced right the overuse of tape is inexcusable. Basically it leaves a huge space before the printing and a huge space after - this has 3 effects 1) more than doubles to triples your tape usage which costs more $$$ to use (also lines Mr Brother's pockets) 2) means that you have to go back afterwards with scissors and cut the label so that it is not ridiculously large - this is a big waste of time and means that if you are walking around making labels (as I do) you must c... read more
Would Be Great if it Didn't Waste Tape In a recent mood to become more organized, I purchased two of these label makers - one for my home, and the other for my office. I'm now wishing that I would have paid much closer attention to other user reviews. I was looking for a label maker that would quickly print off one label at a time, mostly to put on file folders. What I didn't realize, is that this label maker prints out a large (1 inch) margin every time that it prints a label. Even if adjusting the margins to the smallest p... read more
Bye Bye Batteries I got this at Staples for $9.99 during their Black Friday sale. I put fresh batteries in and they did not last more than two weeks. I printed no more than a dozen small labels. I like the labels, but I can't keep replacing batteries like this. I will try one more set, then I will either buy the cord or throw this unit out. Beware.
very complicated my old ptouch finally ceased to function so i bought the pdt 200 to replace it.the 200 is very complicated printer,if your like me and just want labels dont buy the 200.it wastes tape with every labeland after just 2 weeks it ceased to work
Does What It's Supposed To I bought this for a labeling job for one of our customers. They were having the carpet replaced in their office and needed to move their PC's, VoiP phones, and peripherals so the job could get done, and put everything back the same way, so I picked up the Brother P-Touch PTD200. I got it on sale at a large office product retailer starting with Office and ending with Dexxt for the same deal as on here, plus some dollar store batteries (6 AAA, not included, bummer) and an extra tape, which was expens... read more
Nice Unit but waste too much blank label! It is a nice unit but Brother is definitely schemed to make money off you in the long run. The labeler produce 1" margin minimum for everytime you print a label. This 1" is in addition to the so call "narrow" margin with your text. I call Brother and they indicate this was part of the design and mistated this description by using narrow margin. The 1" extra margin cannot be eliminated! If you print 12 labels, say bye bye to 12" of your blank label. If you have extra cash then buy mor... read more
