A Nice Device You Might Use......But Don't Need!

by newtownbeans , Jan 10, 2007

Pros: Prints professional looking labels & tapes; very fast; solidly built; installs easily; fairly inexpensive.

Cons: Software difficult to comprehend; confusing interface; expensive labels; no printed Software User's Guide.

The Bottom Line: The value of owning this machine is directly proportional to the NEED for owning it. If you print a lot of labels often then by all means buy one.

This reviewer recommends this product.

Review: I recently received the Brother P-Touch QL-500 PC Label Printer as a gift and I don't know why. I do not print a lot of labels for anything and certainly not a whole lot of them at one time. But being a bit of a gadget freak, I thought I would give...

Beware of the rebates

by lk808 , Mar 6, 2006

Pros: Fast printing. Easy tape changes. Latest P-Touch software is fun to use.

Cons: Limited label selection. Poor rebate handling makes other label printers a better value.

The Bottom Line: Although it works well, look at Dymo for a better value, and wider variety of labels that is more readily available locally.

This reviewer does not recommend this product.

Review: Note that this printer only takes Brother DK tapes and the selection is somewhat limited. Changing tapes is a breeze. I've been using the continuous roll waterproof tapes and they work well, but are expensive and somewhat hard to find. The software...

Great low cost labeler (and the margins can be largely removed)

by sachacrompton , Dec 16, 2008

Pros: Low cost labeler with many features and label sizes/colors available.

Cons: Margin at start of each set of labels (small price to pay for laminated labels).

The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this for a low cost labeler that does high quality tough labels with many label sizes and colors available, but the PT-2700 offers much more.

This reviewer recommends this product.

Review: I was at my local office supply store and walked by the labeler section, I didn't really want one but stopped to look at them. I saw this one was $60 and was about to leave without buying it, but then saw near the one in demo a large "$25 OFF" so it...
