Review on Efficient Labeling Made Easy: Introducing the Brother P-Touch 1830 Labeler by Jay Liu

I pretty much agree with the other comments here. As for the ribbon waste, I'm not sure if that's intentional since the distance between the printhead and the cutter is 1 inch. The printer doesn't feed the ribbon at the beginning to waste it, it's the other way around. If you want to cut the ribbon, the printer feeds the ribbon so that the last letter you print passes the cutter and it takes 1 inch of ribbon. According to research, there is another factor. I wonder why labels look so pretty and wear so well? This is because the printer actually delaminates the ribbon, thermally prints it on the back of the ribbon, and then re-laminates the ribbon so the print is on the inside. For some reason that I couldn't find an explanation for, it states that the relaminating must be at least an inch. When you hear how this little printer works, it's amazing that it's so cheap. Waste of tape is bad PR and needs to be fixed. Wasted feed, lack of explanations and expensive feeds are a hot topic on the internet with many views. In a simple case, just type two spaces between the labels and print them all at once. I think this works just as well as the chain print option and you don't have to worry about forgetting to feed the label and cut on its text, wasting ribbon which is another inconvenience. I have to blame them for that. the printer knows damn well it's cutting the text in half, so why does the user have to feed the ribbon manually? It's funny. Incredibly many complaints, and yet this labeler is still popular. Find out.
