SLEEK LITTLE LABEL MAKER- FORMATTING GALORE!
on October 28, 2018
Posted by: NicoleM394758
from Cheltenham, PA
[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. FIRST IMPRESSIONFirst impression right out of the box is its very professional, shiny, black sleek finish. What more could you want! It has a nice heft to it, so it seems like it`s a quality device. Not small enough to put in my pocket, but easy enough to slide in my briefcase or purse without taking up a lot of room. SO WHAT`S IN THE BOXIt came with a USB to connect to PC for printing and for charging. Since my PC has to be powered on to charge it, I opted to plug it an electrical outlet to charge. I had to use an AC adapter that I already had (because it doesn`t come with one), which wasn`t the end of the world because I have a ton of these laying around.The cartridge was easy to install. If you remember those cassette tapes from back in the day, that is what it reminds me of. There`s a rechargeable battery already installed. I haven`t had the label maker for long,so not sure about how long the battery life is. I was able to start using it immediately, so no downtime waiting for an initial charge. MY EXPERIENCEI wanted to test it out printing from my PC first, so I had to install the print driver from their website (which is all included in the instructions). It took me about 2 minutes. The online editor gives you the option to change font style, size, bold, italicizing, etc. of the labels. I really liked being able to add pictures. There are a lot of very basic clip art and symbols pre-loaded but you can even upload your own. There are simplistic preset borders that you can add to your label and you can also draw basic shapes (i.e square, ellipse, line, etc.).Tip: If you`re using this for cable management, which is on my list of to-do projects, I would strongly suggest formatting the strips so that you take advantage of the top half of the strip and the bottom half for a different device. The height of each strip is about one inch which seems like overkill for a project like that. I`m frugal, so it just makes so much more sense to just cut them in half, length-wise after you print. The adhesive is actually already pre-cut lengthwise so you can easily cut right down the center & have two labelsnice and neat.Also, if you`re not using any of the borders, I would just keep typing all of my labels on one strip , leaving enough space between in each one, then print all the way at the end of your project so that you don`t waste tape. Otherwise, you will use up quite a bit of tape, very fast. I used the Auto cut", print function and it worked perfectly. Also used the "chain printing" printing function to see if that would save some tape, as I noticed with the automatic cutter, there was about an inch of extra tape used with each label. To be honest, the chain printing didn`t seem like it really saved me any tape. PROSThe online label editor is very easy to figure out. If you`ve use ANY type of word processing program, you can figure how to use this in a couple of minutes. The print quality of the labels was great- clean and crisp. There were no jams and they printed off very quickly.I also printed off a few labels and increased the number of rows up to 4 rows of text. I liked that I could change up the font size on the different rows, but I think that three would be my max, because the font size would just be too small to be of any use beyond that.CONSAs far as printing from my phone, that experience was a bit more cumbersome. I had a difficult time connecting my phone to the device. I was able to pair, but couldn`t connect after several attempts. Very frustrating. After a little meditation, I tried again and was able to get in. Now, it seems to be working just fine. Yeh!It uses up a bit more tape than I would like. DO I RECOMMEND IT?Overall, I liked using the label maker. The useful features, general ease of use, and its great aesthetic appeal outweigh the few cons. I would definitely recommend it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Another great device from Brother.

I like the idea that this label printer is wireless and you basically can use any device like your phone, a tablet or laptop to connect - or even Desktop - just make sure it has a Bluetooth connectivity. This unit has an internal battery, which is also convenient. Highly recommend, if you need to print a lot of labels.

Such an easy-to-use and versatile little tool!

Great little tool for all my labeling needs, and I label EVERYTHING! I love how much more versatile this compared to my original P-touch. With the Cube, I can go from the tiniest little 1/4" label to a whopping big 1" with huge letters! It also has so many fonts sometimes I have difficulty choosing - that's the Libra in me!

great label options, easy to use

By working with my Windows tablet via USB and my android phone via Bluetooth, this printer offers me flexibility and creates quality labels. Allowed me to get rid of an old standalone clunky label printer, and still have portability.

Useful but needs versatility.

I like the concept of being able to create labels more creatively than before. I wish there was a way to also have a simple keyboard so some could be created fast and family members could create them by maybe using their phones.

Unfortunately the Brother PTP710BT machine does not connect wirelessly or via Bluetooth with computers. This model supports Bluetooth connection only with mobile devices.

Handy Little Label Monster

[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. This little machine is a Godsend. My daughter has a homeschool room (that use to be my office) and now every drawer and shelf has a label and purpose. Even compartments that are in the drawers have their own labels and the folders in the compartments. This is something I never knew I needed that now I do not know if I can do with out. So go out and get your family one of these little marvels and get organized!
I would recommend this to a friend!
