It works on Mac but is a little out of place.

I had a previous PT model that didn't work when I switched to Mac. So I bought this as a replacement. I love printing labels and they last for years. It doesn't actually install as a printer on the Mac. It will recognize the USB device and then when you open the folder you can launch the pTouch Lite application. If you copy the pTouch Lite application to the Applications folder, it will not work. It also doesn't show up with printers and doesn't have a print queue. So brother, try to explain to

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Compatibility

Love it! If you like to organize this is a must!

I've owned this for over a year and love it! I use it for everything that needs to be tagged around the house. Don't forget you can't use this alone, you need a computer, it's like a printer. I love how you can use any font as long as you have it installed on your computer. Being able to save it as a file on your computer is also very useful so you can reuse the same format for the same/similar material. The size of this printer is not small, but it is not too bulky either. I put it right nextโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS Certificate
Cons
  • Modern

Versatile and practical label printer!

BIG label printer. You MUST have a computer that you can connect to to use this label printer. The machine has 2 functions: 1 - "Light" mode. No software required, just plug it in and it will show up as a drive letter you click. The second mode is designed for more serious tasks with the included software. Just like using Word. An editor will appear that allows you to choose fonts, font sizes and automatically adjust the font for text with an extra line. You can insert symbols, images, printโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

nice machine but TERRIBLE MAC OS SOFTWARE

This is a simple machine designed for something simple - LABEL printing. It doesn't require much thought or design planning. Then why not have EASY software that you open, enter the correct information on the label, let the machine recognize what type of label stock is set, adjust the width and length accordingly, and SIMPLY MANEUVER THE PRINT WITHOUT TIRING MANUAL GUIDANCE AND MENU SELECTION? This software is unnecessarily complex and looks (and looks) like it was inherited from some Windowsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Builds confidence
Cons
  • Useless features

Fair printer - annoying, inconsistent intuitive editor

This "TZe ribbon printer only" appears to be mechanically sound. It's fast and automatically cuts 25mm of waste tape for each label. However, the Mac version of P-Touch Editor (I'm using V.5.1.108, latest version as of today 6-2017) really sucks. It's the "clunkiest" Mac software I've ever seen and wouldn't be on my computer unless it's the "only game in town" if you want to print labels with this printer. The P-Touch Editor for Mac is totally illogical, some features just don't work as youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Some problems

Not compatible with labels created on the old high-end model (PT-9800PCN)

Pros: 1. cheap 2. easy to use 3. mobility possible with battery 4. resolution or print quality better than expected. High-end model, in my case PT-9800PCN. Owned 4 PT-9800PCN printers for about 5 years, now two of them refuse to work. I have many older labels made with the PT-9800PCN using Brother's P-touch Editor software and just need a cheap label to print those non-essential labels, so I bought this model. I'm wrong, this new budget PT-P700 printer doesn't do the job, some labelsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • unreliable

Your brother is NOT trying to steal from you.

Brother will not try to knock you out of the feed. Look at the tape cassette. This is a three part system: black media, laminate and the self-adhesive label. At the exit you will see a feed roller that pulls them together and laminates them. There is no laminated label that does not start, otherwise two parts would stick. This initial part is the part that will be cut out. The only thing they could do was move the printhead closer to the feed wheel, but you can just get these little onesโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Corrupt

Great printer, easy to use!

There are a few reviews on here that make this thing seem incredibly difficult or painful to set up. It's not one of them, and it's actually pretty easy to set up. Using my Windows 10 computer, I first went to the Brother P-Touch website and downloaded the full software drivers and installation package. When I did the installation, I was prompted to connect the printer at the right time. The setup went flawlessly. I ran the software update tool, which updates the firmware on my PT-700โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Good for the most part, but...
