 Great Little Machine March 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We've had this machine for a number of years now and it works great. It has several different sizes of lettering and a couple different widths of tape. It has been running on the same set of batteries since we bought it. I really like the automatic off, so that if I get interrupted I don't waste the batteries. Changing the tape is a snap. We've just not had any problems with this machine since we purchased it and we've labelled a lot of stuff.

OK, I'm not one to write Amazon reviews, but since I am buying my second one for the office (I've had one at home for the past few years), I figured I should. This label maker is easy to use. I cut my fingernails short, and it's really annoying to peel labels off the backings of labels sometimes -- not so with this little guy.
If I had to come up with a critique, I would say that when the label prints, there is a little too much wasted white space on the sides: nearly a 1/2 inch on each side. Considering that, for example "Warranties" takes up 1 1/8 inches with a standard font, that is almost 50% wasted space.

I purchased this product 2 years ago and am just now learning to do reviews so thought, why not do it now after I've had some experience with it?
This labeler was recommended to me by a lady who has an organizing business. She uses it because the tapes don't peel off plastic tubs and book spines like some other brands. I have been very happy with the P-Touch. I had a cute green plastic Dymo labeler before I bought this one (still have it) and did notice the Dymo labels did peel off plastic storage tubs but the P-Touch labels stick!
I also like that you can select vertical printing (to go on narrow spaces) and cute backgrounds like dots, candy wrapper, etc. and also there are many cute symbols it will print. I use this all the time for labeling storage, files, anything where neatness helps.
I saw another reviewer commented that the batteries don't last even a day. I have not noticed this problem. I have had this 2 years and only changed the batteries once that I can remember (I don't use it constantly, either). I really don't see how the batteries could die that quickly since it has an auto-off function (turns off automatically after a few minutes if not used).
I like the "qwerty" keyboard (laid out like your computer keyboard instead of alphabetical) which makes it a little faster to type. Easy to use since the font sizes & styles are shown above the display for reference. I do find myself referring to the instructions for remembering special symbols (happy face, snoflakes, etc.) and frame styles (polka dots, stripes, wood grain). Great little gadget! No cons that I can think of.

Wonderful Light Duty Labeler April 25, 2007

For labelers in this price range, this one is a find. It's compact, light, easy to use. There are also advanced features such as frames, accents, presents, etc.
I use this in our church library, to label the spines of our books, movies, music, etc. it works great since I can center the labels, and the extra white space will wrap around the spines. The labels are durable and don't smear or flake off easily from the books. This has been in use for almost 2 years now - and gets a work out about once a week. It's still on it's original batteries! And I love the way our shelves look - all nice white labels lined up on the spines.
The tapes have been easy to find for me, I usually order from Quill and if I get a few at a time, it's free delivery. I've not had a problem with peeling the labels like some have. I've found that for me, the lighter my touch at a corner, the easier it is to peel. I just gently rub my thumb over a corner a couple times and they usually separate easily.
One tip on label jams. Yes, it does happen occasionally and then you have a wrinkled mess in back. Cut the label off straight at about 1/8" from the top of the cartridge or it may jam again.
One warning this thing is addicting! If you like to organize or are a wannabee, then buy some extra tapes right away. You'll be looking for more things to label!
