Works as advertised
on May 7, 2014
Posted by: Downtoearthwoodworks

In woodworking (as is the case with many other endeavors) it is imperative to stay organized… labels are a critical key to success. The P-touch labeler can be connected to a computer allowing precise composition of labels. For example, I needed to make labels for some hardware storage bins… the labels had to be precise in length in order to fit. With the PT-P700 I was able to set the length (in decimal fractions of inches) precisely and get a perfect fit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Exactly what i needed

This printer is great, works great, and takes up very little space.
The only two items that I can see to make it better is a little better instructions on installation and making where you didn't have to tip the unit on it's side.

Much better version

I really like how easy these label printers are to hook up to the computer. This newest version accepts the larger tape and that is very helpful. I lost my previous version in a move and gladly upgraded.

Generally Good

OVERALL
We generally like the p-touch, enough so that I have talked clients into buying one. It can produce good looking, easy to read, clear labels.

If you need to print the kinds of labels that this will print, it ought to be on your short list of candidates.
The unit is intended to be portable and it does have the ability to run from batteries. We have taken it with us to client sites, but have always powered it from AC instead of batteries.
THINGS THAT COULD BE BETTER
Getting Software
Getting software for this unit from Brother’s WEB site is a bigger pain than it ought to be. Why make us jump through hoop just to get the software? The process makes it harder to convince someone else to buy it, when they watch how much work it is to get the software so you can demo it.

Ability To Set Margins
Often we find the margins are just too big. But there doesn’t seem to be any way to set smaller margins. It would be nice if the ability to set the margins were a feature of the software.

Better User Interface
The Software has a lot of features, but one often finds that it isn’t obvious how to accomplish what you want to do.

Ability to Do Larger Labels
Often we wish for a unit that could do wider labels. Brother does make some, but they are noticeably more $$$ and not Macintosh compatible.

I have used it a lot lately and it works like a charm. Good clear print that doesn't rub off.

Works Great

I use this to make labels for my outdoor garden plants and it works great. I also have a QL-500 and the software works on both of them. The label printing is very crisp and the automatic cutter is a nice touch (it can be turned off if desired). I do not use the pre loaded software on the printer as I find the PC software easier to use and I am used to using it with the QL-500.

So so

I am not thrilled with this product. The editor will not recognize the printer as a printer so I can't use it. If I just use the lite editor, it leave a large amount of blank on either end that is wasted. This brings me to my next problem which is the fact that the different tapes are ridiculously expensive.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pretty good overall

I'm very satisfied with all this can do, with one exception. There is a lot of trim waste. I've tried all available settings, but so far have not found a way to reduce the waste that's trimmed off at the start of each label. If there is a way to.stop this, then perhaps the instructions could be improved to give clear guidance. But other then this, it's a great little label maker!
