Whatever you can get in the text box, it'll print. I was told it doesn't write in Japanese by phone and email support, but tried it anyway and it worked. Download the app and try writing in the text box. If it writes, it works! Love my cube! I didn't think I'd have much use for a label maker, I actually own two now and have fun labeling everything!
It was reasonably easy to setup and to use. I like the different formats that you can utilize. The only negative is the wasted tape each time a label is printed. I really do not see the point of the extra tape which I have to cut off each time.
Nice label printer, used with iOS device. Bluetooth pairing was easy, though a bit glitchy when changing devices label printer was paired to. Limited by maximum 1/2" width. Printer can handle foreign language (non-English) fonts; limited only by software. Borders and graphics are a plus!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I have always been one to use a label maker because, I just really love to organize. Not so unusual these days, especially when there are so many tools to help. I have labeled everything in my house, including jars in my kitchen. So when I got my p-touch cube, I couldn`t have been more excited. I have an older version which is still kicking, but truthfully, it`s a little heavy and sort of hard to use. The new cube is small, lightweight and very portable. You could even put batteries in it and take it to school or office. It connects to a smart phone app which is where you would create your label - which is very easy to create. And the best part is that you are no longer stuck with one font. There are so many to choose from now and you can even add a small image to it. The only difficulty I had was figuring out the continuous tape feed feature and trying to get it to not waste so much tape when printing. It would be helpful so I don`t have to replace the cartridge so soon.
Really like the convenience of the machine being wireless & much easier to use with the app. Was disappointed I could not figure out how to change the orientation of the printing.
Written and on-line documentation refer to an app that no longer exists. I guess it has been renamed or rewritten. I can understand written docs being out of date, but on-line? Once you figure this out, it performs well.
