Troublesome
on May 3, 2026
Posted by: TEIN
I bought a PT700 and used iton Win7. Everything worked fine. Installed the software and away I went.
However, I thought it might be nice to use it on my WIN10/11 machine so I downloaded the software from the Brother site. It took about 30minutes fro it to install which wouldn't be so bad, but then when I opened the printer software all my previously saved labels had been wiped. Why would anyone do this - No warning no backup attempt just labels gone. I'm not a happy bunny and it stinks

Response from Brother EuropeBy Brother UK, Customer Support, May 5, 2026
Looks like default option to install editor software for Windows 7 is P-touch Editor 5.4. Whereas default option to install editor software for Win10/11 is P-touch Editor 6.
But if this is same PC then you may still have both versions of editor software installed. Default install paths are as below: -
C:\Program Files (x86)\Brother\Ptedit54\ptedit54.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Brother\P-touch Editor\6\PtouchEditor6.Wpf.exe
So if you still have Editor 5.4 installed and can open it, please check Tools > Options > Path to see where your previous files are stored. If they are all there probably take a backup first and you could possibly copy them to use them with Editor 6 too. Or just continue using Editor 5.4.
As ever if you need further support with this please get in touch with support here: -

Very impressed
on February 15, 2022
Posted by: curlypaws
I bought the PT-P700 to replace an existing label printer as I was looking for additional functionality. I've found the P700 to offer a lot of flexibility in its easy incorporation of graphics, and ability to print on different materials - such as shrink wrap. There are a lot of neat touches in the P-Touch Editor software too - and they work very nicely together. Loading new tapes is very straightforward. Setup too was reasonably simple. The only thing that threw me initially was the need to turn off the in-built software to allow my Mac to control the device.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beware Does not work with MAC
on September 28, 2021
Posted by: Frustrated MAC User
Just bought this specially to work with both my MAC (2019 Macbook Pro), and Windows. After wasting an fruitless hour got onto support who confirmed that it does not work with "does not have support for different USB ports for new Mac computer", my MAC. He asked me if I was connecting it to a USB2.0 port, which no MAC has had for about 5 years at least. So effectively does not work with Macbook Pros, Macbook Airs, or presumably any other current model. Would be nice if the website stated that before wasting my time and money.....
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great label printer
on February 20, 2021
Posted by: Pyro Mine
I have had this printer for a few weeks now and I am very impressed with it. I bought it for plant labels and it is much better than my old brother handheld printer. It is quicker, easier to use and wastes far less tape. The computer software is good too allowing different fonts and print sizes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent device

I have used an aged P-touch portable (PT-1750) that used TZ tapes and was hoping to use up my old stock of labels but the TZ and the TZe are not compatible; you can use the TZe tapes in older devices but not TZ in the PTP700.
As for the machine itself, is does an excellent job. I use the Windows P-touch Editor 5.1.100 software and it prints a much smoother text than the old one, uses the Windows TrueType fonts installed on your PC and allows small graphics to be imported (Black & White)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dated software but does the job
on January 28, 2016

Gender:Female
As another review has mentioned the software for Mac is dated and not particularly easy to use. Also the snap function (copy and paste from external source) isn't working for El Capitan. However I found it available cheaply online with a money back offer from Brother which made it very good value. Didn't realise till after I had bought it that I couldn't use my older Tz tapes from handheld printer. Need to use Tze tapes instead.
Couldn't find anything remotely similar elsewhere ...
