Brother P-Touch PT-D200 Label Maker, 2 Lines, 6-1/2"w x 6-1/10"d x 2-7/10"h

We use this at work and I love it, the only thing I would say is research how much you will pay for the replacement tape roll.

The Brother PT-D200 Easy-To-Use Label Maker is a very multi-functional product. From different fonts to sizes, label colors and types, and everything in between, this product is perfect for the home office or organizing many things. I use this product more than four times a week in order to label products such as pet items, food items, and office supplies. The labeling is clear and functional, as its adhesive back taping can stick to anything dry. The different colors available also maximize its options. You can choose from black lettering on a white label, to even white lettering on a green label. You can even make fabric labels that you can iron onto your clothes! This product is very versatile and easy to use. The only downside is that sometimes the label comes out to long. If you have five words on a label, the length of the whole label, which the words centered, could be 3 inches long, with excess labeling paper on each side of the words. That, however, is not such a bad downfall, which is why I give this product a perfect 5-star rating. Even with the excess label that comes out of the machine when you create a label, that does not make a big difference, as for each cartridge they give you over 25 feet of label tape! What a great deal!

My daughter has a label maker like this. I have always admired it, so decided to try one for myself. It works well, printing beautiful, clear, easy to read labels. Definitely a keeper. Only negativity,that to me turned out ot be a HUGE inconvenience is that an AC adapter is absolutely necessary for use of this machine. It does work on batteries, but afte an hour or so, using brand new, fully charged (I tested them) batteries, the machine needed new batteries. My printing was therefore interrupted until I could loacate an adapter, fortunately I was able to locate one fairly quick. I would rather have paid the extra money to have the AC adapter included or a note on the box saying that an AC adapter is recommedned due to high battery usage is so extremely high with this machine. I am still glad I bought it. I am having a very difficult time finding the carrying case, however. I AM glad I bought the machine and like it very much. I wish there were more fonts and borders/frame choices, but, for the price, the machine, & its variety of tapes, is adaquet for my needs.

I have had an older Brother printer that I have had for a few years and really liked. I first Brother printer I bought for labeling my breaker boxes and electrical outlets and switches, which worked out GREAT! My wife and I put many tapes through our old printer, labeling many little "projects", till one day, I dropped the label printer one too many times. When I chose to replace my label printer, the choice of manufacturers was a no brainer. Though my old printer could handle 3/4 inch tape, which I NEVER used, I made the decision to buy this one. Brother has really out done themselves on this model, as it has many new and easier to use features. And yes, this is my Christmas gift to myself this year.

"Easy to Use Label Maker" Perhaps, but not right out of the box. I found that I needed to keep the large instruction sheet right next to me the first half dozen times that I used this small machine. I had never used a machine like this before, so that might be why my learning curve was so slow! It does the job that it is designed for quite well. If you want smaller length labels, you must trim them yourself, wasting material. Be sure to get the power cord.

The Brother PT-D200 is a quality label maker for 1/2" tape. It has an immense amount of features, honestly almost too many to use intuitively. I find myself having to consult the manual frequently to achieve the desired outcome. That's the reason why I did not rate it 5/5 stars - its menus could be organized more logically. Nevertheless I can recommend it for everyday users. Price is right, and Brother finally makes tapes that are easy to separate from the backing - that was a challenge in my old Brother label maker.

This is a good machine but if it sets awhile without being used you will find the batteries dead. I have no idea how they get this way because it is supposed to turn itself off if you forget to. I have wasted two sets of very expensive batteries and printed about a dozen labels. If you buy this machine buy the AC adapter also.

This is my second Brother label maker, my first one having been absconded by one of my staffers. Unfortunately, I like my old one better. The settings on this model are too confusing, The quality of the product is good, but it takes me too long to get the desired result.

I bought the label printer to make labels showing what function some of the wires in my airplane serve. It does a nice job of printing labels in a size that is useful. However, there are two things that could be improved. First, the instructions should be available on-line in a book format instead of just a copy of the large foldout instructions that come with the unit. Secondly, it would be helpful to give samples of the different fonts in the instruction. I wanted a large font but could not figure out which was the largest font without a trial printing of each on. All fonts are available in small, medium, and large, however, the finished size of the large fonts vary quite a bit in size.

I've purchased several Brother label makers over the years and have always been pleased. Please take note that this model has poor battery life. Get an AC power adapter. Also, note that this label maker does NOT take the standard TZ tapes. It uses TZe tapes.
