Easy to use
on December 25, 2015
Posted by: photo35
from Arizona
This little printer works great, easy to use. Only one regret to the wasted label tape if you only need one label or if you print multiples. To get the most of the label tape print without or only one space between each label. Doing so will save wasted tape at the beginning of each label. That is why I only rated it 4 stars. Still a good buy just create more than one label at a time with only one space between each new or different label.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Used to make Electrochemical Etch Stencils

We bought the machine to produce stencils for electrochemically part marking aerospace parts (Method AS478-7A)
The self loading software is easy to use and the stencils work well in our application.
You need to buy STE cartridges for the stencil material. We're getting perfect part marks on stainless steel and Inconel parts with this system.

USB Compatible but only for Windows Based machines

For a USB compatible printer I would expect it to work with something beyond windows. But it appears if you have anything newer than XP the support is very limited and W10 is non existant. Something outside of MS Windows environment good luck.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PT-1230PC

Machine was purchased to provide miniature year & mint mark labels for labeling those extra spaces found in coin books. Using the pc connected version, I have been able to create labels suited to my purpose with any font in my computer. My tape preference for this purpose is black on clear backing

Nice little label-maker
on December 4, 2012

I bought this for convenience so I could make labels at my computer/desk rather than getting out my Brother 1400 portable. The software for the 1230C plus the computer keyboard are an easier interface than on the portable.
The 1230 is very simple to install and use - I didn't even bother downloading the full software package - the self-installing app included right in the 1230 is plenty for everyday use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So-Far-So-Good

Haven't used it that much so far, but like what I see. I love the quality of the product and the labels it can produce. The price was right. A couple of cons; 1- Tape is still quite expensive. And 2- The wasted 3/4" leader on single labels.

Response from brother-usa.comBy BMG, September 22, 2011
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.

great little machine

I have an online sewing business and have enjoyed printing customized labels at the blink of an eye. It installed on my computer very easily and has worked like a charm. It works better than my regular printer. GREAT PRODUCT!

PC Connectable Label Maker 1230PC
on December 3, 2012
Posted by: TheSavvyDog
from Longview WA
The print quality is fabulous. It is very easy to use. There are two drawbacks to this product:
1) Since it is a continuous tape, there shouldn't be a cutoff as to how long the label can/should be. I use it for making pricing labels - with a lot of repetition. If I want to make an entire cartridge of the same label, I should be able to do so.
2) There is too much wasted tape...the same wasted space at the end of the label as the regular hand-held label maker. ESPECIALLY if you are reprinting the same label.
I would give the product FIVE STARS if the above were corrected in the software.
I would recommend this to a friend!
