Everything I expected
on March 13, 2014
Posted by: jschlimmer
from Janesville IA
Initially outraged as the manual makes no mention of P-touch Editor or printing labels from a database. After checking the website, I learned that I needed Editor, installed it, and have printed labels from Excel. Total control of what records to print - one record, a range, or all. Not too difficult, easy editing, and I love it! I recommend the PT-2730 connectable, even if you don't think you need to print from a PC. It's a good capability to have in case you or someone you know does eventually need it (you could end up a hero to an organization, family member, or friend).
I would recommend this to a friend!

The PT-2730 labeler is very easy and fun to use. I would like to see more templates to choose from, but it is quite easy to create my own. The assortment of tape widths and colors is great.

PT-2730 Label Printer
on March 20, 2011

from Twin Cites, MN
This Printer is awesome. Software works very well both on Mac and PC. The only issue
I have is the wasted 1/2 inch cut
between each label. You can turn off if you print multiple labels at once, but I find my self doing one label at a time.
Excel interface is very easy to setup and import a list of labels. I like it so much I bought a second one for home.

Works well but expensive to use and lacks features
on September 8, 2011

The unit works well for the most part. Prints well and is easy to setup and use. I have two major complaints. First is that it wastes a tremendous of material. Before printing a label it advances and cuts-off a 1" long piece of tape. As a result I have only used it a few times but have already thrown out close to 2 feet of 1" piece. Given the price of the tapes that can add up quickly or you use it a lot. My second complaint is that it has not built in ability to produce templates for wire marking and such. You can work around it but at this price I think these types of capabilities should be there.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awesomeness
on March 17, 2011
Posted by: Keaster
from Benson, Arizona
We own a computer business. We had tried a couple other products that did not even come close to what we wanted. What we wanted to do was have the option of tagging our parts and securying the case with security tape. This one works perfect. You can connect it to your computer/s. If you need a labe you can create it and print it on the PT-2730 either from the unit itself or from your computer. This has and wil be the only product for our business. It does what we want and much more. Awesomeness is the word and is the proper description for the PT-2730

Works great but could use some improvement
on June 13, 2012
Posted by: Davidg1218

I find choosing the tapes to be very confusing. I dislike losing an inch of tape for each label. The option for printing multiple labels to avoid that is very limiting--seems to work only with printing multiple copies of same label. Is there a way to make a list of labels so that there is no wasted tape??

Nice for the Price
on April 5, 2012

I found this product to perform nice for its pricepoint. I was disappointed in the lack of cutting options. Other models have half cut labels which is nice when you are printing a large number of labels. Overall good amount of options and easy to use software.
I would recommend this to a friend!
