Well Done!
on February 21, 2011
Posted by: Chuck
from Toledo, OH
This is a nice labeler from both the Desktop and Portable use. PC Setup was very simple. Use of PC can be faster making a label with special requirements than using the keyboard.
The Large Display is wonderful.
Pros: Large easy to read display, Nice funtion key layout, Small and light weight enough for portable use, Many pre-loaded label templetes like cable/wire label.
Cons: No multiable print count of same label using keyboard, Always cuts beginning of tape when using small margin function on multiple label prints.
Still waiting to see if an optional carry case will be made available and if the cost will be reasonable.
All in all, a nice labeler.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Most TZ labels have a clear laminate top layer. This durable laminate helps the label withstand abrasion, fading, moisture and chemicals, providing a crisp, readable image. The process of adding this laminate layer results in a leading edge margin of blank space. Using "full" margins will result in a label with centered text, but with blank space on both sides. You may be able to reduce the total amount of blank tape by choosing a different margin setting, or by using the chain printing function.

Good combination of label maker and printer
on September 23, 2011

But not perfect. I was truly hoping for making a std format on the computer that could be sent to the printer itself, and just change the fields that will vary, without needing to still be connected to the computer. But, other than that, we couldn't have asked for a better printer that comes with labels that are laminated. That is a HUGE benefit to us. We actually bought another one this week.

Good Value Works Great

Purchased this item more than a month ago and I have been on a labeling frenzy since then. I love the fact that it works on batteries and comes with the ac adapter. I installed the software on my Windows 7 PC with no difficulty. I have not needed to use the it connected to the PC yet. I did test it on the PC though and it works fine. Overall the machine works well and is simple and intuitive to use.

When connected to your computer via the supplied USB cable, this PT-2730 Labeling System allows you to create virtually any kind of label. WARNING LABELS, container labels, CD/DVD labels, ANY font, special characters, on the COLOR tape of your choice!
This machine does it all! I have 2 of them, one for downstairs and upstairs.

Waste of tape
on June 17, 2013

We like our P-Touch and its many features including the ability to use it with or without our computer.
Wish your software was more user friendly and would work with my Linux operating system. P-Touch's most costly and annoying feature is the waste of the expensive tape when printing a single label.

Easy to Use and Easy to be Creative

Works very well, can easily connect to a pc to download images and apply to labels. Up and running in minutes. Label cartridges may be a little pricey but produces a lot of labels.

Mixed Reviews

The quality of the label is excellent. It is also excellent because you can move the label to another product and it still sticks. But, the tape is very expensive, so every inch of wasted tape is also expensive. It uses a lot of tape at the beginning and end of a run, and it also leaves the last label in the machine, so you have to waste tape to get the last label out.

Great Labeler
on November 28, 2012
Posted by: RochNYguy
from Mendon, NY
This is my third labeler... and my last! This allows for on-board editing with many templates, but the real strength is the ability to edit on your computer and send the label to the printer. Min is a Mac, but software works on PC or Mac. (It's completely compatible with Mountain Lion.) The included software is a simple and powerful.
My primary use is to print labels for irises and othe plants in my garden. I could not be more pleased!
