Review on 🏷️ Efficient Brother PT-2430PC Label Maker with Auto Cutter - PC Connectivity for Simplified Labeling by Simon Connelly

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ok but it's recycled

Overall a great product. The only downside I've found is that before printing a label, it cuts about 1/4 inch from the ribbon for no apparent reason. Printing a lot of individual labels wastes a fair amount of ribbon. **Update: 09/09/11 - I used this to make name labels for two different water bottles that I often carry with me. the labels disappear Also, I have two computers with Windows 7. One is a 32-bit system and the other is a 64-bit system. I bought it to use with a 32-bit system and the plug and play feature works fine. However, I couldn't get Plug and Play to work at all with a 64-bit system. I installed the full software and it only worked intermittently. It printed a label, then the labeller's power light blinked, indicating an error. I could turn the label printer off and on again, print another label and then get another error. Since I've only used it temporarily with a 64-bit system, I haven't delved into troubleshooting it, but be aware that if you have a 64-bit system, you might run into problems. with a printer. All labels I have made are still in excellent condition. Also, I've found that if you're printing a lot of different labels in a row, you can select the 'Chain Print' option on the print screen. It doesn't cut off the previous label until the next one is printed, and therefore doesn't cut off the blank 1/4 inch before each new label, thus not wasting as much ribbon. Now that I think about it, I would appreciate it. 4.5 stars I still think it should waste less tape and only cut off a small piece of clean tape (if any), but that's really my only complaint.
