Brother PT-P750W Label Printer

Perfect label printer for me, up and running in less than 30 minutes thanks to automatically recognised operating system downloads for macOS Catalina 10.15.6 on Brother support site. Software is easy to use on both IOS and MAC and the genuine tapes are perfect for my needs

Forget the negative reviews read elsewhere. Windows 10 and Android phone connect and work without issues. The trick is to configure Wifi while it is plugged in to a PC with the included USB cable. Software is downloaded from the manufacturer. No old versions on CD ROM to worry about. As a bonus it also runs on six AA batteries and sits unobtrusively on a shelf or desk. Same size as a Samsung S7 (looking down) and NFC too. Whats not to love ?

I am a genealogist with lots of artefacts and documents to label. I had had a 12mm brother labeller for some time and wanted a more sophisticated label for my large number of leather-look gold-tooled binders. The 12mm was ok but looked a bit like sticky-tape and often left little 'space' around words to assist in readability. 12mm, of course, still has its place but this machine does up to 24mm. The new 24 mm with premium gold tape is superior for my purposes and, not necessarily visible from image attached, is easier to read from a distance as well as looking professionally made.Once the program was on the system it was easy to create a label and typing is so much easier with my computer's keyboard than with the portable mini non-qwerty keyboards. I can save ... MoreI am a genealogist with lots of artefacts and documents to label.

I can save label templates to create a house-style to reuse which is great for me as I am a bit obsessive on order and continuity. I can ensure the label template is a fixed size so if the text changes the label always fills the space just right. Also it prints just the right amount of label with less waste than my portable so saves on expensive tape. It is mains so doesn't need batteries (although you can use them if you want) but this is a big saving as the hand-held used lost of batteries.The software feels a bit clunky, particularly around colour choice and selections, but is functional and I would not want them to exchange functionality for pretty.The half-cut device is bonus I didn't appreciate until I used it, I spend less time with my nails trying to separate the backing from the sticky-label. When using transparent tape this reduces the likelihood of my fingerprints showing on the corners!A small disappointment was that I did want a simple coach-line frame (a rectangle with scalloped corners, as shown in some Brother advertising) but this was not actually on the list of frames available. So, the facility to download free additional designs would be cool.Overall, extremely happy with the Brother PTP750W that now sits happily within wi-fi reach of my set-up.
