Review on PT1290 Home and Office Label Printer by Brother by Yousef Clark

Yes, it has many extra features, but like anything you don't use every day, you need to read the instructions to use it. As for wasting tape. Yes I see it. But if you set the margins smaller and instead of printing one label at a time, just print them all at once, the only ribbon lost will be at the beginning. NO BIG OFFER. Speaking of battery consumption. Doesn't matter. It has a 7-9 volume port for wall plugs. For $15 you can buy a wall charger and plug it into the mains. If you need it outside the home, use batteries. This is my second P Touch. The first was a direct computer that didn't work at all. I'm perfectly happy with it and recommend it to the average user who just wants to keep files in a filing cabinet or just in a shed or garage.
