perfect label maker for the busy mom! (and anyone else too, really) I borrowed a friend's Brother PT-1880, and then had to run out and get my own! Was thrilled to find it here on AZ for about half the going rate at brick & mortar shops. Not the flashiest model out there (and doesn't hook up to the computer), but I just didn't think the extra features were worth the mark-up for my needs. This one prints in two fonts plus various styles & sizes, includes a good number of symbols and frames, and is small and light enough to tote around to every room of the house - ...

inexpensive, not feature loaded We use label makers at work, and this is more or less an inexpensive version of those. This one has fewer fonts and print options that the more expensive models, but prints simple labels with pretty much the exact same quality. This does not come with a power supply, so you need to buy that separate (model AD-24 for about 27 bucks), or use batteries.

Wasteful, requires manual cutting Unlike other Brother models I've used, this one insists on wasting a full inch of leader on every label (and the same on a trailer, unless you override that). Even if you adjust the trailer length, it still puts the wasted leader on the front, then adds dots to tell you where to MANUALLY cut off the excess. NOT an acceptable solution.
What's worse, there's no way to know this before you start to use it - even the instructions don't directly state it, but only talk around the subject, so y...

Horrible Function Key layout. Wasted tape? It's a given with these things. This thing is a real pain to use.
They've changed the "Function key" format from previous generations, which used to work similar to a standard laptop keyboard FN button.
Press the function/code key, and each regular key had a corresponding FN "blue line" above it.
No more.
Now you must click the function key multiple times, to scroll through all the available functions. AND, to boot, the default function for "clear all" is to "Clear the text and the for font", which will re...

Good value for the money This is a very good value for the money. I was looking for a Brother label maker that used TZ tapes and found this one. I don't think there is anything else out there in the same price range with comparable features. So far this thing is working as advertised, no issues.

As expected Good little labeler, only drawback is the wasted tape it creates in the label leader.

Works great I bought this because we have similar one at work and find it handy. It performs well and there was included tape to get you started.

Great garden labeler I purchased this for outdoor use. The labels have withstood intense sun and rain. It's simple to use and has come in handy for all kinds of things. I'm quite satisfied with the quality.
