There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Others have complained about the high cost of tape. There are plenty of third party tape manufacturers whose products are good. I now default to Unistar, which has been as good as Brother for my use. I don't expose my labels to the weather, and I don't know if the Brother labels would be better for that. The cost of Unistar is about a third, which validates the complaint that all the money for Brother seems to be in the tape. Also, read the posts by others on how to use the chain function to conserve tape. Again, as others have said, there is significant wastage if you make a lot of separate short labels.
Here's another insider secret: If you want the font to be as easy as possible to read at a distance, use the Florida font. It is BY FAR the best for that purpose.
I particularly like how easy it is to switch tapes. I can do it in about five seconds. Tapes come in various widths and color combinations. You will find that when you switch tape widths, the font sizes for ALL type size-settings adjust accordingly. That caught me by surprise the first time.
I do like the bigger (PT-D400) model better than the smaller one (PT-D210). The key layout is more intuitive, and you don't have to use the shift function as often. Its max tape width is 50% greater, and for items on high (distant) shelves, that can make all the difference. The cabinet opens and closes easier, and the window that shows what tape is loaded is right on top and easy to see. Also the "clear" function works, which is the one thing that i could never get working on the smaller model.
I'm addicted to these label makers. I wouldn't want to be without them.
