Customer Reviews

Excellent Product
I've had my P-Touch for a couple of years. I use it mainly to label keys. I used to stick on a tiny label and ink on the apartment number. Inevitably either the label would fall off or the ink would smudge until the identification was no longer legible. The P-Touch produces a label that stays on and remains legible. Bravo!

My complaints: As has been noted elsewhere, the backing is not easy to get off the label. You need nails of a certain length to pry it off. My second complaint is that if you print a short label "6FW" for instance, and need to fit it on a key, you end up cutting off half the label as the letters themselves take up only 40% of the label. This is a minor complaint and admittedly somewhat specifc to my usage of the labels for keys.

Great Little Machine
We've had this machine for a number of years now and it works great. It has several different sizes of lettering and a couple different widths of tape. It has been running on the same set of batteries since we bought it. I really like the automatic off, so that if I get interrupted I don't waste the batteries. Changing the tape is a snap. We've just not had any problems with this machine since we purchased it and we've labelled a lot of stuff.

Great little labeler
OK, I'm not one to write Amazon reviews, but since I am buying my second one for the office (I've had one at home for the past few years), I figured I should. This label maker is easy to use. I cut my fingernails short, and it's really annoying to peel labels off the backings of labels sometimes -- not so with this little guy.

If I had to come up with a critique, I would say that when the label prints, there is a little too much wasted white space on the sides: nearly a 1/2 inch on each side. Considering that, for example "Warranties" takes up 1 1/8 inches with a standard font, that is almost 50% wasted space.
