Review on 🖨️ Brother P-touch PTP750W Wireless Label Maker with NFC Connectivity, USB Interface, Mobile Printing - Black by Don Acevedo

I thought I would do myself a favor by suggesting my label writer Dymo and going back to the Brother P Touch, especially when I saw that this one didn't have a needed battery , it's a standalone label printer that can be connected to a computer, it has many features that I will most likely never use (like NFC and/or wireless functionality) etc. Also, this one has an additional ability to add barcodes and images to labels to add. Bonus? Not as much. First, the print quality on this machine is just as abysmal as the P Touch range has always been in all its various form factors and iterations. Pixelated, often crooked, rarely beautiful and clean, like the authors of the Dymo labels. I was really hoping that the technology used in these label printers had improved over the past two decades, these things are mass produced, but sadly no. Next I thought that at least the UI on my computer would be better than the dimo version. Again no. In fact, it's worse - MUCH worse. Not only do you have to try to figure out what does what to get the desired result, or read a ridiculous instruction manual, but until you BELIEVE you figured it out and hit the print button: WRONG! Let's go back to the drawing board of options to figure out where you went wrong. Next, the connection is TERRIBLE. In just one day, I counted 55 TIMES (yes, it pissed me off so freaking I actually counted how many times it happened) when I clicked the print button and got this annoying dialog box saying " Sorry, I can't communicate with the printer!" So I close the software, unplug the printer itself, plug it back in, run the software again, select the printer from the list of printers, click " Print" and fingers crossed it actually prints this time. I've NEVER had this kind of problem with my Dymos. Another sticking point is how much label tape is wasted on each printed label. AT LEAST a half inch of label is spit out before my label actually does is printed, and assuming that at least a third of the time the label I really NEED is only half an inch long Guess what that means, yes, 100% waste factor on any damn label tt printed. Estimate the cost per inch of that tape and you'll get pissed real quick when you're spending that much tape on every damn label printed! out. I don't WANT that because it REALLY annoys me that when I want to print a label I turn it back on hoping the computer will recognize it, the software interface will load/reload etc, just print what it will be should quick little label! How much power does this little thing use that it NEEDS an auto shut off feature? In summary, I really, really, REALLY, REALLY regret not tossing my Dymo Labelwriter Twin-Turbo before I bought this lousy, overpriced, overrated, underserved piece of hardware! I will most likely send it back. My dymos might have been outdated, but at least they printed clean, efficiently, produced no waste, had MANY different label options, and just did what they were supposed to do! Most likely, I'll retrieve this item and click "Return to Sender"! Do yourself a favour: before you hit that buy now button, think about it because this thing has a different form factor and a few more bells and whistles than the others. The P Touch model also costs more, so should perform better. Run far, run fast and don't look back. This is not the label printer you are looking for!
