P-Touch PTD220 Home/Office Everyday Label Maker | Prints TZe Label Tapes up to ~1/2 inch White

This is easy to understand .. you can use large fonts or small fonts . Comes with one roll of the labels .. be ready to pay for the roll when it runs out ,, this is how Brother makes their money . I get it ,, thats business , but you wont be disappointed with the label maker itself ,, it does its job

I have been telling myself to purchase one of these for THE LONGEST time and finally pushed the button on it. Works exactly as I hoped it would. User friendly and straight forward. I elected to stick to the AAA batteries versus the charger cord. No complaints on my end!

All around it’s a pretty great label maker. The tape is easy to come by and is sold in bulk at a good price. The screen can be a little hard to read in really bright environments but otherwise very good. It takes 6 AAA batteries. Yes, 6. Or your can use a 9v power cord, but it’s not included and needs to be bought separately. If you power it by battery (what I’m doing) the batteries do last a long time in the printer. I’ve gone through 3 tape cassettes all on one set of batteries and no sign to change them soon. There’s tons on fonts and boarders you can do to the labels all with the same regular tape. Personally I use only the standard font but there are many options to choose. For the environmentally conscious: Now, this might be a 50/50 for you. The tape need to be printed on is plastic. Packaged in a special plastic cassette. After you print you need to peel the paper-plastic off the adhesive backing. Also inside that tape cassette, each time you print the tape has an ink side that does the printing and rolls up on the other end of the cassette like a VHS. So about 10-30% of the ink is used to print, the rest is unusable waste neatly rolled on the inside of the cassette. Very sneaky way to get us to buy more tape.

Definitely worth the money. Great for organizing files. Also works well to label storage bins, pantry items…..really anything you need to label. Highly recommend!😍

This is one of the best little label printers out there. It is easy to use, intuitive, and has a lot of great options at a very decent price. If you're just wanting to print labels and maybe add a little flair here and there, this is perfect. The cartridges are only about $3-$5 each, depending on the brand, so it gives you decent mileage for the cost. The 2 letdowns for me are that it does not come with a power cord. Not a huge deal because you can either use 6xAAA batteries or pick up a power cord for $10. Go with the power cord unless you need the convenience of carrying it around and printing on-the-go. The biggest let down is the LCD screen. All the stock photos look crystal clear and easily readable, but in reality, it is not clear. On my unit and on every review or 3rd party photo, you can see the contrast is pretty horrible. The funny thing is that it looks better in a photo than it does in reality, so I can't even post proof of what I'm seeing. The contrast on the unit lets you go up or down 2 notches, which barely affects the visibility in a meaningful way. It needs a brightness setting along with the contrast. That said, as long as you can get enough light hitting the LCD without glare from the plastic, you should be fine. A backlight with an on/off setting would have been fantastic. Even with the drawback of the LCD, I would still buy it though, as it really is a great unit.

From Brother.com - here is what I found out about the screen. Adjust the LCD contrast! To adjust the LCD contrast: 1. Adjust the contrast setting: a. Press Menu. b. Press ◄ or ► to select LCD Contrast. c. Press OK and the current setting is displayed. d. Press ◄ or ► to select the contrast setting. There are five settings: -2, -1, 0, +1, +2. e. Press OK to set the contrast. - If the LCD is difficult to read, go to the next step. 2. Since the label printer does not have a backlight, the angle of the label printer and the lighting conditions can affect how well the display can be viewed. For optimum viewing, place the label printer on a flat surface and view the display at a 45-degree angle. 3. New out of the box label printers have a protective film on the display that needs to be removed. Removing the film slightly improves the display's contrast and brightness. a. Using your fingertips or fingernails, separate the protective film from the LCD display from the top right or left corner. b. Pull the Mylar protective film completely away from the display to expose the smooth finished surface. Discard the protective film. 3. If the contrast was better but now it is harder to read, try printing a label to test if the batteries are low. The LCD can be difficult to read when the batteries are low. 4. If the LCD is still difficult to read with brand new batteries, you may wish to purchase a label printer with a backlight LCD. So, for me it was first, remove the mylar tape on the screen. I did not notice that there was something on the screen itself. Then I followed up with the LCD contrast and it made a big difference. I wish I had purchased one with a backlight screen but did not realize that was an option. All in all, I will say that this is a nice label printer.

I’m obsessed with this little machine. It works perfectly every time and is extremely easy to use. All the labels come out looking crisp and clean.

Functionality: This labeler does one or two line labels and has templates for frequently-used label Print quality: Excellent dark print Ease of setup: Put in six AAA batteries; the compartment doesn't exactly show you how to orient them, but you'll figure it out. Quality: I haven't found a better labeler. I have had two of these, one is for me and one is for my BFF who keeps borrowing it, so I got this one for her. Value for money: It's not cheap--but it's one of those things you can't believe you lived without. What do I use it for? I label file folders. I label my flour containers (I have several types of baking flours and sugars.) I label the drawers for my art supplies. MOST USEFUL IDEA (I think) is to label the ac adapters and blocks that come with your electronics. Just today, I was locating my Chromebook which I don't use that often. The block in my "Cords and AC adapters box" was labeled "Chromebook" with my Brother labeler and did NOT look like the ones in the picture online (a trick to figure out which AC adapter belongs to some kind of item.) WHEN YOU GET IN any electronic item with an AC adapter or a block or a cable, make a label for it with this label maker, wrap it around the cord or stick it on the block. Another use: remotes. Label the remotes for the device they control. I also put battery information on the label "2 AAA" etc. Still another use; kids going to college, boarding school, camp. Label their stuff. While you can get an AC adapter for this, I tend to just use it on the batteries (6 AAA). The templates are really nice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

This is an excellent labeller and very easy to use.
