Great machine... [Posted on 2007-08-11] This is a great label printer. I first saw it on one of those home-organization shows.
It prints labels from 1/4" to 1" wide, up to the length of the tape. The TZ labels it takes come in several colors (white, flourescent orange, yellow, red, clear, etc.) and types (basic laminated, strong adhesive, strong adhesive flexible [for labeling cables, etc.], tamper evident [which show if someone has tried to peel-off the label], etc.).
The specialized label tapes can be pricey, but the instruction manual tells you how to save tape with different printing methods.
I've had this label maker for almost 2 years and have never had a problem with it. I highly recommend it.
Excellent little machine! [Posted on 2007-09-01] First off, just like others have suggested... READ THE MANUAL If you read the manual front to back you will find the most efficient way to use the tape and plenty of hidden features and settings making the machine that much easier to use.
When you first purchase and start to use the machine plan on taking some time to do test prints and test using the included software. If you take some time to do this prior to going out in the 'field' you will be able to print out labels quick and efficiently.
Excellent selection of tapes, all necessary colors and sizes, up to 1". The TZ tapes selection and sizes are a big improvement over the older TC tapes. Yes the tapes can get a little expensive but find a online discount store with free shipping and your going to save lots on the tape.
If something needed to be changed it would be the ease of use, there is a learning curve and I could see some getting frustrated easily, so a little easier to use would be helpful. Also, why can't we print directly from the software seems it would be a simple software fix in the machine.
Overall a great machine!
Brother PT-1650 Lebel Printer [Posted on 2007-10-25] Overall this is a versatile label printer with quite a few different types of label materials available. I was able to purchase label refills at Costco at a substantial savings over those advertised on the internet. My only complaint with this label printer is that each time you print a label, the machine advances the label a bit and tells you to cut it. Then it prints the label and you cut the label off. Each time you print a label, you are cutting off (wasting) about 3/4" of label. This seems a bit wasteful, especially on short labels.
Big for what it does but works well [Posted on 2007-12-04] If this was about half the size it would be MUCH better. I carry it in its case and it is nearly as large as my laptop bag. Works great but READ THE MANUAL FULLY or you will think it stinks! It is not intuitive at all and most of the complaints here are from users that obviously have not read the manual.
Great value and features [Posted on 2008-04-26] I love the fact the unit came in a plastic carry case with room for multiple lables. I use this for everything from putting lables on Data jacks to doing inventory lables. I find the 'auto' increment and auto print feature useful since I can generate up to 99 lables in sequance at one time. VEry versatile unit and worth every penny.
