Brother PT-2700 Thermal Label Printer
Brother PT-2700 High-Performance Labeling System

Excellent quality and we got a GREAT price break. EZ to use and apply. We are using for pricing so it looks so much more professional. The only downside is cost for refilling label cartridges and wasted tape on each end.

Simple and easy to print labels out-of-the-box. Plus many many more features to learn.

As I have used this same machine at work for a few years, I am familiar with what it can do and how versital it is. If anyone needs a labeling machine, this one should be on your "must have" list. The only minor problem, it wastes some tape unless you "plan" multiple words and the cut apart manually.

I have used Brother labelers for years and this is simply the best one yet in terms of capability. I mainly picked this one since it can use the super wide (1") tape; but the computer connectivity (usb) and ability to print three lines are great extra features.

I got this thing for a lower than low price at Buy.com and could not be more pleased. I used it first to replace all of the switch commands on my boat and it worked well. I thing did all my files at work, and my tool boxes, and my parts bins in my shop at home. This is a very good to great product and I recomend it highly.

There is an option called "save tape" (something like that, my machine is in Chinese) that will not waste that little piece of white tape, but it will keep the label you've just printed inside the machine, until you print the next label. There is another option that allows you to print without the machine cutting the labels for you, in this case you can cut the labels yourself after you've printed all you needed, and there won't be any waste of tape either. Anyway, I wonder if the machine is cheap only because the tape is sooo expensive. I also don't like the way you can see the pixels on the printed labels. Otherwise it's easy enough to use...

Easy to use alone or with computer only problem is the wasted tape before and after the print without a means to reduce waste. I think by printing several labels(words)one can predetermine space between each individual label.

Easy to use either with the computer or manually. My only complaint is the length of 'wasted' label leading and following the text. The waste is even worse when printing a single label from the computer. I end up having to re-cut with scissors.

This is a fantastic label printer. Everything works as advertised. Definitely worth the price compared to getting one at Wal-mart. Comes with the USB cable that is a plus. - - The only negatives with this printer are high label price and some wasted tape during printing single labels.

I have used Brother labellers at work for years. Like other higher end Brother labellers, this labeller works with the extremely flexible P-Touch software. (I downloaded the latest version from the Brother website rather than use the slightly dated version on the included CD.) This software makes it easy to layout 1 and 2-D barcodes, graphics, text, etc. It allows mdata merging and saved formats. The labeller is also easy to use in a standalone mode, too. It even will run under battery power. The only downside to this printer is that the lable material itself is expensive. Figure about 4-5 cents per inch for half inch label. But the labels are overcoated with clear plastic and are extremely durable - They are useful in many applications where simpler and cheaper labels fail.

I used to own the PT-2100, but decided to purchase the PT-2700 because of the additional features and love it. It arrived quickly, in perfect condition, and included the USB cable, something the PT-2100 did not include. The difference in price was $5, but the additional features and included USB cable make it worth it. The label tape is a bit expensive – but purchasing online (get the double-packs) can save you money.

It works really well and has many useful features. But I can't give five stars because the label tape is too expensive.

Brother has always made the best (in my opinion) label makers, but this one goes a step further. Besides doing all the things that you would expect and then some, you can hook it to your computer for practically unlimited creativeness. I captured a company logo and shrank it to fit a 1/2-inch label, then added some text beside it. Even that small, the resolution is remarkable - you can't tell it wasn't done by a professional. I waited a long time to buy a label maker, and I'm glad I found this one. I highly recommend it. Of course, the tapes are a bit pricey, but you can find reasonable deals on ebay.

PROS: I always like to "test" a unit for it's ease of use by not reading the manual for details of operation. After I read the initial setup I try to work the units features to see how intuitive they are. This label printer is a 5 Star product! Extremely easy to understand functions, easy to use, and great results. I found it on line for a total of $91.00 at Buy.com. I have not yet setup the computer connection so all of these comments are for its stand alone capabilities. I am hopeful the computer features will be as easy and pleasing. CONS: Only one I am not pleased about. When you select the "minimum" printout it sends out about 1/2" of tape that is cutoff before it prints. A wast of tape I do not understand.
