So far, so good, but a couple of surprises
|
This little machine works well and is well laid out. It's easy to use, whether via computer or by hand. But it's heavier than I imagined (2.5 lbs). And it has this annoying quirk: when using it with the computer, it cuts an extra blank label of about 1/2" before printing the label. Technical Support said all Brother labelers do that. (See their full response below). When printing by hand, there's extra space on your label before and after the printing, which you can cut off manually. When printing by computer, there's an actual extra blank label that the machine spits out and cuts before printing your label. In either case, plan to waste about an inch of the tape for every label, no matter what size label you need.
That said, it really is great to be able to print labels on the fly. I'm envisioning a much more orderly environment very soon.
I noticed some reviewers either here or elsewhere complaining that the labels are hard to peel from their backing. This is not true of the labels that came with my labeler. The backing is split and very easy to peel off.
Here's the explanation from Brother Tech Support about the extra length of label:
PT2600 PS 5100 There is approximately one inch of space between the printhead and the cutter blade within the P-touch label printer. The three layers of material that make up all P-touch laminated labels must pass over this space in order to be sealed correctly and to feed correctly. Ordinarily a small piece of tape, 1 inch long, will first precede the printed label to ensure that this happens. This extra feed material cannot be eliminated. However, the piece of extra tape can be added to the printed label instead of being cut off by changing the "Margin" setting to one inch. There is no way to eliminate the excess tape feed. |
