5 out of 5 stars entry level brother p-touch system   December 11, 2009

I got this as a gift for my parents - they will probably not use all the fancy features like the graphics you can add with this laber. It comes with one cartridge so you may want to add a few more.

My likes about the p-touch system:

1 - labels last a long time but not forever
2 - colors are available and easy to switch out
3 - conservative on the batteries
4 - compact and nice form factor like a typewriter but smaller
5 - added fancy graphics features on this model

I bought mine during the fast and furious sale which closed out in 5 seconds - as did the next model up with a usb interface. The graphicss are minimal on this but add a nice touch to someone who is beginning scrapping or wants a more fancy label. For serious graphics you will want the pc.

I labeled soem outdoor stuff that faded out after a while (3 years) so do note that p-touch labels expire with sunlight.

Lastly, the features are well made such that the cover can be removed fast and replaced without any lost screws or broken snaps. This has always been a brother p-touch feature that I appreciate. Without that design feature you could easily have a product that breaks far too soon. I have 2 other p-touch labelers that are 7 years old and have been dropped off ladders at worksites - still run fine. Its a quality product.

This is a great little label maker. It has some great options including adding fun symbols and shapes like hearts, stars and different fonts to your labels. I've used it to label glass containers in our pantry for baking items and love the neat and easy to read look of it. Very user friendly and easy way to keep things organized. Of course like all label makers I've used, it seems to use up more tape than I'd like but this one offers a great solution by giving you the "narrow margin" option. This avoids the extra inch margin on either end of your label. Great! I find myself looking for things to label just so I can use this labeler.

Much better than the dynamo one I had previously! I like that it uses the TZ tape cartridges that are laminated. I also like the typewriter style keyboard.

We love this labeler. It is so easy to use and we have now labeled all our files. It makes it so easy to see them.

Good value, however - I saw a Best Buy Promotion that beat me the price by $6.00. Brick and Mortar stores have fixed overhead much greater than the internet retailers so I was surprised. I still felt that I got a good value and will continue to use and recommend Amazon.
