I had one of these at work and needed another one. Very nice compact unit, small footprint. Software is pretty easy to understand and use.
I use it to label hospital equipment but there is no limit to what you can use it for.
The one I originally got is 5 years old now and still works like a charm. | 5 | Today | Awesome Photo Assistant
Here is a tip for all photographers. Using this printer with 3/4 inch black on yellow tape is a great labeler for compact flash cards and all photo equipment. I print REWARD IF FOUND! [...] CELL PHONE #. | 5 | Today | No Problem--Makes Labels
Having read all the reviews on the P-touch 1500PC I was almost afraid to buy it. In spite of that, once I cut through the plastic armor it came packaged in there were zero problems. I use a Mac with OS X 10.3.8. The software and drivers installed effortlessly. the applications are very professionally done--almost gltizy cool. Moreover, they work first time right out of the box. In less than 10 min I was making plain labels. I have only tried the sample tape but it does what I bought this for. I have played with the software and while I can't be sure that fancy labels will print, they are easy to make and look good on the screen. I give the software a 5 and the machine a 5 for simplicity and ease of use. | 5 | Today | Communication problems with PC
This labler works good once you get it to work. It has a terrible communication problem between with the PC which should be blamed on the driver. I got it to work once long ago on a IBM PC (Ibm laptop and Dell laptop unsuccessful) and it worked fine. Even though initially it is hard to get acustomed to the formating and style, it is easy to use once you have a few layouts saved.
I would still rate this as a bad buy! If you can get it to work, you are lucky...if you cant, you just wasted a lot of money. | 1 | Today | OSX Printing Issues
The software (P-touch Editor 3.2 and P-touch Quick Editor) are the weak point for this printer in Mac OSX 10.X. I can't print from the Brother software, but I can choose the printer in other applications such as Adobe Illustrator and print from there. Not a convenient work around, but at least I can get the thing to print. You can make up your own mind about whether to buy it or not, but if you have one already, I hope this helps. | 1 | Today | Nice machine, but the software sucks
Brother P-Touch labeling system are notorious for wasting expensive marking tape, just read any of the reviews. The lable maker performs as execpted. The problem is the Editor. I have downloaded the lastest version and it still sucks. The editor is is what keeps it from being a serious industral tool. It has all sorts of cutise, but worthless templets and clip art. Two features the Editor needs is a search and replace, and a seral numbering system. When I have several hundred lables to make,it is eaiser to use a Handimark with its seral keys than to use the PT. I give it 2 stars and the Editor 0 stars. If it has those features, they must be well hidden, | 1 | Today | Won't Work on Windows 2000 Professional
Upgraded to Windows 2000 Professional and the printer will not work. Spoke with Brother and they told me it was a Windows 2000 problem, that nothing was wrong with their software, then have thousands installed . . . Brother's Customer Service would not take a "Problem Report" and could offer no advise . . . just it's Windows 2000 fault . . . sorry, this is a wrong answer. | 3 | Today | I loved it at first, but it failed me
Although the software was a bit klunky I loved this printer. It's no more wasteful of tape than others (which is still too much, I agree) and I was thrilled to be able to compose labels from my keyboard. Sadly, when I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.3 something went awry and the printer now prints only blank labels. I emailed Brother about this in early November, 2003, and was told that the problem is that Mac OS X changes a lot in each release and they keep finding their driver doesn't work anymore. No idea when it will be fixed; I just checked and there are still no updated drivers available on their website. They can't be trying very hard; I don't know of any other printer having this problem. So, this is a great product unless you run OS X! Since odds are that even if they get it fixed, when 10.4 comes out it will happen all over again.... :( | 3 | Today | Brother P-Touch 1500PC Labeling System
Packaging required "industrial strength" tool to remove the product. Interface is awkward. I was required to find a file on the installation CD to set it up. It has no drop down menues. You have to right click at the right place. It's confusing at first. The printed manual that comes with it is in very small print. Every label uses up extra tape that has to be cut off. It's wasteful. In the end, it prints lables fine, but it could have had better desinged software. A good product but not at all an outstanding one. | 3 | Today | Handy!
This is a neat and extremely handy little labeling system. There is a lot that can be done with it all you need is a little bit of imagination! | 5 | Today |
