have always wanted to get a label maker, finally broke down and did. Use it at home and work also. I'm an electrician and it comes in very handy for my line of work.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Liked it so much, we now have two

We work in a large building and now have one of these labelers at both ends for efficiency purposes. We have used the first one quite a bit over the past 4-5 years and had no problems or issues (knock on wood). It was the basic labeler, and now with the system, the package works for both. I'm not sure the download has been loaded properly on my computer - I haven't had time to try it out.

Excellent Machine

This is and ecellent printer and i really like the PC connectability . The software is also very good.
The only dislike is the wasted tape at the beginning of the tape printout. Apparently many other people have the same complaint.
One work around is to do chain printing.

A Bit of a Challenge, But It Works

First Labeler for me other than one of the manual type ones of many years ago. A bit early to write a detailed report, but I found the manual that comes with it, although quite detailed, a bit challenging and not clear in places. I had to call tech support 2 or 3 times to get solutions, but I got them and I always have from Brother. I have 2 of their Printers, also, and they are top notch. I have finally used the Labeler to make some initial labels, ( Letters for my Keyboard Keys, as the decals wore out from my fast and considerable typing. Nothing else has worked in the way of replacement, but white letters on black tape works great and is wearing fine so far. Time will tell, but I can quickly make more if needed. The tape seems to stick well, also. All in all, I am looking forward to using this machine as soon as I figure it out a bit more.....I would say, Go for It!!! SHALOM.....Brother Randahl

Works great ... Some waste
on July 1, 2014

The label maker works great and has filled my need for an inexpensive, PC/MAC connectable labeler. The only distraction is the 1 inch waste of tape at each printing. This is not much of a waste, but over time will add up. Other than my perceived problem with this item, the labeler is well worth the price.

great software makes it a winner

In writing Amazon reviews about scanners, I remarked that there is no such thing as a good or bad scanner, only good or bad scanner software.
The same is almost as true of label makers. The label-creation program that comes with the PT-2730 is remarkable for its features -- and complexity. It's not something you'll master in a few minutes. But it does have templates for common labeling needs, and if you want to do something that's not obvious, the Help system usually has an answer. It is far superior to the software that came with Brother's TX computer-connected labelers.
One of the program's best features is the ability to drag-and-drop text //or images// directly into the label you're creating.
I have two gripes. The PT-2730 doesn't take the TX tapes I used with my older machines. Nor does it take 24mm tape. (Only one or two TZ machines do.)
For those new to labeling machines -- note that the regular tapes will not stick to polypropylene (eg, buckets, trash cans). The tapes with "high strength" adhesive are required.
