From the manufacturer

PTD400AD

The P-touch PT-D400AD is an ideal label maker for users who want a quick and easy way to create a wide variety of durable labels for the home and home office.

The P-touch PT-D400AD is a compact label maker with a large, QWERTY-style keyboard and a graphical display that help make it easy to create professional labels for the home and home office. The easy-type keyboard features large keys and an angled design for comfortable typing. It also features one-touch formatting keys that help save time when adding frames or changing other formatting options.

Create labels using the large library of fonts, frames and symbols

Create personalized labels up to 18 millimeter (.70 inch) wide using virtually any combination of the 14 fonts, 10 font styles, 99 frames and over 600 symbols. Plus, the PT-D400AD features a large internal memory that lets you save up to fifty of your most-commonly used labels and reprint them with a few button presses.

Flexible powering options

The PT-D400AD can be powered by the included AC power adapter or 6 AA batteries (sold separately) to give you the ability to make labels at your desk or on the go.

Works with a variety of tapes from the long-lasting laminated TZe Series

TZe tapes are protected by a thin, clear film to withstand water, grease, fading, abrasion, heat, and cold, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor applications. TZe labels feature a split back design for hassle-free application. Use one of our specialty tapes to create flexible cable and wire identification labels or create labels with acid-free adhesive that are safe for scrapbooking, and other photo-sensitive materials. There’s even non-laminated fabric iron-on tape for labeling clothing and more.

Your only limit is your imagination

Use P-touch labels to help you stay organized at work, at home and everywhere in between. Categorize folders with colorful labels according to content to help facilitate quick identification and retrieval of important documents. Create labels for shelving to help keep your supply closet organized. Create labels to easily identify personal items with contact information. Containers labeled with durable TZe tape can go from freezer to the microwave, and even the dishwasher – while the labels remain legible and affixed.

    Meet my big brother
    My first Brother product of any kind was a PT-85 handheld personal label printer. I’ve had it for about twenty-five years now, bought it at an office supply store when Amazon was still only selling books. It cost me about fifty bucks and at the time all of the other options available seemed like they were made out of cheap plastic. It is the only electronic gadget I keep in my office desk drawer and I use it all the time and it is still going strong. Of the things I love about it is that it literally seems to go forever on six AA batteries, like over a year per set. Of the few things I don’t like about it is that like all label printers it wastes too much unprinted tape although I have found a few ways to trick it into wasting less. I saw today, in mid 2021, that Amazon was selling a new one for $220 bucks. It must still be very desirable.THE NEED FOR MOREBut then was then and now is now. Since the mid-nineties I’ve owned label makers from several other brands. Each has things going for it but none every gets used as much as my ancient Personal Touch. Today however I need more versatility, different tape widths, larger fonts, more colors, bar codes, etc. It took me a long time to decide on finally choosing this model. I knew it goes on sale a lot and some stores almost give it away to get your replacement tape business but I didn’t want to wait or shop around so I accepted that about sixty bucks was more than fair for something that does as much as this thing.PROS1. Lots of font faces, sizes and styles2. AC adapter included3. Two year warranty4. Real keys like a laptop computer5. Several hidden featuresCONS1. Wasteful – but they all are. Learn the tricks to save money2. Unusually dim and low resolution screen3. Lever that has to be manually pushed down before lid will close (inconvenience, not a flaw)Before adding my opinion I need to say that only about one in ten is really helpful, and they usually point out the ones that are error filled or dead wrong. I don’t want to take the time to do that but it’s obvious most of the ones that are off base obviously didn’t read the instructions or if they did, they didn’t understand them. Considering its price I could not find one reason working against this model. Is it perfect? No, in a real world that’s not going to happen, but properly used I am very happy with my choice.

    I’m liking this label maker so far. Some of the graphics are super dated looking but I’m not planning to use those anyway. I just needed for basic labeling purposes. I didn’t read the instructions, and it was still easy to use on a basic level. It came with a power cord be usb cord so you can link to your computer and use their software if you prefer that to typing by hand. I really like that it has both options.
