| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Organizer's delight
This item is a winner. It was purchased based on my brother-in-law's recommendation of a smaller model. I am using it strictly for home organizing tasks and find it easy to use, fast set-up, and good labels for shelves, boxes, etc. Haven't tried the computer functions yet. But would definitely recommend this for making labels for home use. There is one proviso which I would note to the manufacturer. It is tough to figure out which of the label tapes fit each model. A better system is needed to identify them with the appropriate machine. To give an example, it would appear that all TMZ model labels would fit this one; it's not true though. Be careful about this when you purchase the labels. | 5 | Today | Versitile
A great all around performer for labeling needs. Would like to see an option to upgrade it to a stand alone network printer. It is best to print a whole slew of labels at once to minimize cutting margin waste. | 4 | Today | Labeler
This labeler is the best I've seen in a long time. Some of the functions take a little getting used to, but is worth getting. I like the ease of changing tapes. I label every thing in my shop. It just adds that "touch". The tapes are available every where. It runs on batteries or on a 110v adapter. I prefer using the batteries for the ease of portability. | 5 | Today | A very nice labeling machine
I use this labeler in my home and have found it to be very effective. As others have mentioned, it is aggravating to have so much wasted tape at the beginning and end of each label, so that's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars. To somewhat solve the problem of the wasted labeling tape, I make a list of all the labels that I need to make and type them in on the machine in one continuous strand (until the memory is "full") with a couple of spaces in-between each label. Once it prints out, I then cut the labels apart. Yes, I know it's an extra step, but it sure saves on all that wasted tape if you were to be making labels one at a time. These labels stick very well to the plastics that I've adhered them to, unlike the tape used in an older labeling machine that I had before this one. If you are *really* frugal (as I am at times) you can save those little extra end pieces in a baggie and use them for labeling something small, writing on them with a permanent marker. | 4 | Today | Great label maker
This was bought to replace an old Dynmo. This is a very good, very easy label maker. It does everything it was supposed to do. The 110volt converter is a must, it is included. | 5 | Today | Great Labeler
I can easily type any label on my PC, click Print, and the label automatically comes out of the Label Machine. This makes printing labels 100 times faster than poking a little keyboard. It also allows me to save any label and/or any template... QWERTY keyboard is much faster than Brother's PT-1400 Hand-held Labeler with alphabetical keys; the 1400 also errors out all the time which waste tape.
I can set the margin really tight so it doesn't waste tape with wide margin's; however, the left margin is marked with two dots which I have to cut with scissors and the right margin is automatically cut by the labeler.
The software that loads on my PC also has a lot of nice templates that could be useful for certain things.
I keep it plugged in, on my desk, per 'Getting Things Done' by David Allen. It also takes batteries so I can take it with me...
| 5 | Today | Do not buy this labeler
This item gets one star because Amazon has no lower rating. I have had this over 1 year. Every time I put in a new tape I follow the mfg's instructions to the letter but the printer always ruins at least the first tape. The tapes are not cheap but the printer is. I am looking for a different printer. | 1 | Today | More than I bargained for!
I am very pleased with this purchase. Not only does it offer a great level of functionality as a stand alone product, but when you connect it to a PC it opens a whole new level of usability and creativity. The editing software lets you place you text with any of your windows true-type fonts, as well as hundreds of included clip-art and symbol fonts (wingding, webdings, etc.). However, it even goes beyond this, and I don't think the product description makes this clear. It accepts .bmp, .tiff and several other formats. You can jump into Paint, or your favorite art program and create any doodle or line-art you want and then add them to your labels. Or you can get art from the web. I was labeling some herb infused olive oil, and searched "olive line art" and "garlic line art" and came up with some great royalty-free art to add to my labels.
As for the other aspects, the printing is clear, and while not anything astounding in speed, still about as fast as average. You will need to tweak the settings when printing one label to keep it from wasting a lot of tape (which isn't all that cheap). The AC adapter included saves on battery life, but they don't include a USB cable so you will have to buy one if you don't have one. All in all, though, definitely worth the price.
| 5 | Today | Go ahead and buy this one
This is my first labeler and I love it.
I was afraid that it is just going to be a gimmick. Something that I will only remember when I stumble upon it while looking for something else in a drawer filled with similar useless tech junk. But that was not the case with this labeler.
I've been using it regularly since I got it. If I run out of tape (I'm still on the free roll), I'm going to buy some more. If my labeler breaks, I'm gonna buy another one. It is definitely not a waste of time, space or money. It doesn't make noises, it doesn't require special skills. It just sits there on my desk and does nothing except being quickly and greatly useful when needed.
You can read the specs and comparisons on other reviews or in the company website. I just wanted to clear these points out.
One last thing. I'm not sure if there is a regular price fluctuation, but I got mine for 63% off the retail price here from Amazon. The price has gone higher now. But it is still worth it in my opinion. | 5 | Today | Good customer service
I started using my labeler as soon as I received it. When the sample cartridge that it came with ran out, I put in a new one, but had problems with it. I looked up the customer service number in the manual and prepared for the usual aggravation of trying to reach any large company by phone these days. Imagine my surprise and delight when after hardly any time and button-pressing at all I reached a pleasant and helpful human being who listened to my tale of woe, registered my new labeler in their system, and then told me that she would ship me a replacement cartridge for the one that was not behaving itself. Three days later my new cartridge came in the mail, and I haven't had any further troubles. Applause for customer service done right! | 5 | Today |
