If you're okay with wasting $17 per tape on this thing, go ahead. I've had many misfeeds resulting in two unusable tapes and (suprise!) Brother doesn't warrant the tapes (so save your sales receipts to take it back to the store). Another version purchased for our office ate a tape causing the roller to break and (surprise!) the machine was no longer in its warranty. I've had much better luck with a Casio labeler which apparently uses a different system for their tapes. No consumer joy in this device at all. | 1 | 817 days ago | Label Printing Made Easy
Brother P-Touch 1180 is a very good label printer for home or office. It has a whisper- quiet operation and the batteries last a good long time. The printer can accommodate label widths of six, nine, or twelve millimeters so it can be used for many different tasks.
<br />
<br />There are five sizes and several different styles that can be programmed on this label printer. Italic print, boldface, outline, shadow, and different combinations of the above can be utilized to create different effects. There aren't a multitude of styles and sizes, like you get with more expensive label printers, but there are enough selections to accommodate most needs. And the liquid crystal display makes it easy to see what you are about to print.
<br />
<br />I have few complaints with this label printer, but one of them is worth noting: the printer's tendency to waste labels. When you print a label, the printer will always release sections of blank tape on both sides of the worded area. It does this, presumably, to make sure you have enough blank area to cut. But this can prove to be very wasteful because, most of the time, you will not need all of this blank label. What I try to do is type in multiple names in a row, separated by a space, and then print at once. This will minimize the amount of blank label coming out from the printer. There is a limit of 55 total characters in each run, so you can't input any number of names you wish. You are still a little bit limited, but this is still more efficient than entering one name at a time and pressing the print button after each one.
<br />
<br />This printer isn't the greatest, but for the price, it's difficult to argue a convincing case against the Brother P- Touch 1180 label printer. It's small, quiet, and gets the job done with minimal effort and cost as long as you conserve the label by entering multiple names at the same time.

I HAVE OWNED THE BROTHER PT 1180 FOR OVER A YEAR IT WORKS PERFECTLY WHEN USED PROPERLY THE BATTERIES LAST A LONG TIME AND THE TAPES WORK VERRY WELL MY WIFE AND I JUST LOVE IT | 5 | 817 days ago | I was adrift in existential angst. until......
I had accepted the absurdity of my mortality; I had resigned myself to the inherent flaw in the nature of humankind that leads it onward towards its march to inevitable self-destruction. I have winced in pain while regarding the cruelty, ignorance, and, yes, even sadism that lurks in the quest for world domination. To me the quotidian world made the universe of Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" seem like a veritable paradise, until....as I found myself in the middle of my life's journey, I came upon this product, and now, having garnered it, I reside among the grace of angels. You will too, if only you dare eschew your mortal coil and purchase this labeler. | 5 | 817 days ago | Be careful of *deceivingly cheap* Brother labelers
We bought one of these labelers. The first surprise came as we started to use it. As has been noted at length by another reviewer on this page, these labelers are designed to waste the tape. OK, we thought. Whatever.
<br />
<br />Then, when the tape ran out, we purchased more via Amazon. Wow, these refills are unreasonably expensive! Brother clearly has a "give away the razors and sell the blades" philosophy, seemingly making all of their money on the tape. But we bought it anyway, cause what else were we going to do? We were stuck.
<br />
<br />We got the tape, inserted it correctly. But the cartridge was faulty and it unraveled on the second label. Irreperable. So we called Brother and -- guess what -- the tapes have NO WARRANTY!!
<br />
<br />So, unless you are in the mood to give Brother a *blank check* for your labeling needs, don't get into bed with them. They will leave you angry and wanting. | 1 | 817 days ago |
