Brother PT-P700 Label Maker, USB 2.0, P-Touch Label Printer, Portable, Up to 24mm Labels, Includes AC Adapter/USB Cable/24mm Black on White Tape Cassette, UK Plug

Brother PT-P700 Label Maker Excellent little printer, way better than my old Dymo one. Creates laminated labels that are durable. Lots of options for colours and sizes. Print quality is very good. Shrink tubing for cables is also available, not tried it yet. Software utility is easy to use and stable (on Mac OS), supports merging with a CSV file, which is really useful if you have lots to prepare. Overall, highly recommend. P.S. Some very minor issues with text justification when wrapping, but easy to work around.

With the tedium of lockdown dragging on I decided that I need to declutter and organise myself and this printer has proved to be invaluable. The PC interface enables you to print in a range of different font sizes and to incorporate graphics, resulting in 'professional' quality labels. I was particularly attracted to this model as the PC app is much easier to use than a device with a built in screen (as long as you don't need to label on the move) and it takes a wide range of tape widths. A huge range of different tape and text colours are available and I have used it with both Brother and (much cheaper) third party tapes, with great results. I've used it to label a huge variety of things around the house including files, lunch boxes, cables and plugs, plant pots and much more - the labels have so far stood up well to the weather and repeated washing and wear and tear. Highly recommended.

perfect, works well

I have many brother label printers and this is the best one for narrow labels (up to 24mm). The cartridges make laminated labels which means the printed part is below a clear layer and the layers are joined in the cartridge at time of printing. This is much better than the TZ type of label which are just one layer. The drawback is that print head and lamination roller are about 2cm apart which means you cannot print less than 2cm from the end of the label. My old ptouch printer had a manual cut button which meant the label always had 2cm white space at one end. This printer has an electric cutter which means it can cut off the 2cm part, so the label itself looks nice with no wasted space but there will be a 2cm offcut for each label printed. This P700 will not "half cut" which means the 2cm part is still attached to the label via the backing, instead the P700 totally cuts off a small blank 2cm label each time you print. Otherwise the software is great and there is a good choice of original and "compatible" labels available. I've made professional looking labels for my fuse box, cables, binders, kitchen appliances. It's so handy. *updated Nov 2019* I removed one star because some old brother TZ cartridges would not fit even though at first they look identical. This modern TZe label printer can only use TZe cartridges. Older TZ label printers can use TZ and TZe cartridges. The explanations on the internet normally say the label is the same, just different packaging using less plastic. I took this to mean the packaging the cartridge comes in but it also means the plastic box the cartridge is made of. There is an extra hole on the new cartridge and the label size sense holes are in a different place. In the photo you can see the difference between new TZe printer and old TZ printer. If you have lots of old label cartridges then they might not fit in this printer.

Easy to set and use. Good clear print quality.

I bought two of these to replace some DYMO units. They work very well and so far over 7 months have been 100% reliable. Work well under Linux and Windows.

Nice neat little unit. Works fine with MacOS Monterey. I run it on batteries and prints fine. Only dislike is that it trims the lapels with a bit of waste but you can queue up labels in the app if needed.

nice machine apart from the p touch lite label package wasting tape before and after print. Which i found weird as company has a p-touch but only wastes a bit at front went to brother site download full label package from there you will need serial number off Print to download. Now only wasting one bit of tape as you can see from the image above but you do have to download driver as well and switch off the Plite to get it to work
