Review on 🏷️ Efficient and Versatile Labeling with Brother PT-80 P-touch Electronic Labeling System by Tuan Core

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly what I needed!

Lately I've been trying to tidy up my house for a while. I'm just fed up with the mess. One of the main reasons I wanted to buy a labeling machine was a tangle of wires connecting to my home theater system. With the power cords for two game consoles, cable box, TV, DVD player, Roku SoundBridge, and Wireless Bridge plugged into a power strip, it was almost impossible to figure out what I had unplugged at any given time. The same thing happened with the A/V cables that tie everything together. I duplicated the labels and folded them around each wire for easy reading of the label, so now I know what each wire is for without having to run the wire through a rat's nest from end to end. Cables behind the entertainment center. I've also used it to label all of the Rubbermaid boxes and trash cans in the attic, and I've also labeled a few more plastic bins in a few closets. The PT-80 features a full QWERTY style keyboard. It's easy to use, which is better than some other models that have buttons in alphabetical order. I can type any caption in seconds with two fingers. I've read a few complaints about wasted tape, but I've organized three rooms with dozens of labels (lots of double-sided cable labels like I described for my entertainment center) and still haven't used up the first 26-foot cassette. . The little slit on the back of the device that helps separate the end of the label is nice, but doesn't work the first time every time. I usually have to insert and remove the end several times before I can remove the label from the liner. I don't know if this experience is any different from other types of tape as I only used the standard black on white tape. An added bonus was that this unit and the tape cartridges are significantly cheaper at Revain than at local office supply stores, especially with free 2 day shipping with Revain Prime.
