I had to retire my P-touch 2730. All the labels that I saved the last 10 years were retrievable through the P-touch software. The PT-P700 is a simple compact design, were I was able to set it up and use it without instructions. It's compact design is key to saving space and makes it portable. Very please with it!
This is a great PC/Mac only printer. I bought it in addition to my PT-1950 keyboard labeler. The only downside is that it uses only the newer TZe tapes. If you load the optional P-Touch software and select Chain Printing - you can avoid wasting tape between labels. On the last one, just press the cutter button to eject and cut the last label
In woodworking (as is the case with many other endeavors) it is imperative to stay organized… labels are a critical key to success. The P-touch labeler can be connected to a computer allowing precise composition of labels. For example, I needed to make labels for some hardware storage bins… the labels had to be precise in length in order to fit. With the PT-P700 I was able to set the length (in decimal fractions of inches) precisely and get a perfect fit.
The printer was at a great price and it works flawlessly, but the price of the labels makes the printer impractical. At 50 cents to a dollar a foot for the label stock, it makes labeling an expensive proposition. If you have a special need for a solid laminated label, this is your solution but be prepared to pay for it...
My daughter is starting school soon and this label printer is the best labeler I found You can print any type of labels using many different fonts and font sizes and you can even insert images and pictures I tried many other ones but this is the one The only down side is that the labels aren't cheap, Other than that it does the job pretty good
The printer itself works fine and makes clear, attractive labels. The software is another story. Don't bother with the CD that comes with the printer. It's way out of date and harks back to Win8. Download the latest software and firmware updates directly from Brother. But even that software is difficult to use. The onscreen user interface is small and difficult to read and interpret. Online manual is not very clear or well-written. So get the printer, but use the simplest version of the software.
Works best on Windows machines, since a lot of functions are not available on an Apple machine. That said, the instruction sheet is like a large map, and is poorly written. Very difficult to find information on how to use the P-touch software, not the P-touch lite (very confusing, to say the least). I finally got the labeler running on my Windows 8 machine, after giving up getting it to run on my iMac. You need to download the software users guide from the disk included with the labeler if you are going to use the labeler on a Windows machine. This is so you can use the many features that the labeler is capable of. Why Brother made this so complex and confusing is beyond me. Anyway, once it is set up and running with the full p-touch software package, it really is a nice labeler with lots of nice features. Still a little difficult setting up unique labels, but it still can be done with a little patience. Brother really needs to run some user panels on new products before they introduce them into the marketplace. A lot of the issues I found with this labeler could have been avoided, if the software manual, and a better installation guide was included with the package. There is no reason in this day and age for Brother to have a customer search around for information on how to properly install their labeler.... everything should be plug-and-play and not require the user to have expert computer skills to use or install this labeler. My Brother laser printers were a breeze to install, sure seems to me that Brother could do as well for their labeler purchasers. I love my other Brother products!
For the most part I'm fairly happy with the unit think I would've rather had an older model that was not connected to my computer. The software was not intuitive it was pretty difficult to get the software installed on my Mac. Instructions were poorly written.
I'm not sure what the problem is, these devices have software pre-installed in the unit, no need to install desktop software. Well my P700 doesn't like my Mac! They fight and argue all the time, with the Mac always winning. I really am dis-appointed, because when things do go well, it's a great little machine. The specs stated it was Apple OS X compatible. I wish I would have done some homework instead of making a knee jerk reaction to buy. I did not realize they offered a Wireless option. If this keeps giving me issues and keeps crashing the program.... Well I'm not sure which way I will go. I'd would like to get a wireless unit though. I did reach out to Product Support and never heard anything back.
This product does not work well with OSX 10.9. The desktop application does not install properly and the P-Touch Lite software is awful and does not compare with the PC version i.e. totally deficient. Keeps losing contact with printer. Do not recommend for Macintosh.
