Brother P-Touch PTD220 Home/Office Everyday Label Maker | Prints TZe Label Tapes up to ~1/2 inch White

I really like this label maker. It worked exactly as expected and was super easy to use right out of the box. Unlike some others I’ve tried, it didn’t jam or misfeed at all. Everything printed cleanly and evenly. The layout is intuitive and it feels solid for both home and office use. It was also a good price for the quality. I’ve labeled a bunch of files for the office and some bins around the house, and it handled everything with no issues. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a dependable and no fuss label maker.

I’ve owned this label maker for 3 years now, so sorry for the late review. I’m happy to report that it has served me well. It still works great. The cartridge seems to last a long time. I’ve only changed it once but I don’t create that many labels either. It is intuitive to operate; one doesn’t need an engineering degree to figure out how it operates. I also own a Brother copier/scanner which has lasted me about 7 years and it still works great. Brother is a strong reliable brand. So for those reasons I give it 5 stars.

Works Great, used it to label all my tools sizes. In black on yellow. Highly visible. Easy to peel and stick. You can make the number or letter big or small. People had mentioned that it wastes labels by leaving too much margin. But if you read the instructions you can change that so that the margin is smaller. Has lots of different Font that you can Choose from. The screen is easy to read with a little back lighting. But if your room is dark it’s difficult to see the screen. It’s a great little machine and works as intended.

My old Brother label maker finally gave up the ghost. I think the thermal print head stopped working, but it was over 20 years old and had a good life so RIP Brother.One requirement for a replacement was that it use the TZe labels on account of I stocked up on said label cartridges. This label maker obviously does use these labels so that’s good.What else is good?:+ Fonts: quite a few of them. Personally, I only use the basic Helvetica (called “US”) but it’s nice they’re there.+ Emojis: really.+ Frames: you can pick from a large selection of frames around the text. Again, I don’t usually use such, but it’s a nice touch.+ Font Sizes: but almost all label makers have this option.+ Tabs: useful.+ Files: you can save a number of labels in memory which I think I will find very useful+ Adjustable lead-in/out: my previous label maker wasted a lot of tape with too-long leads.SUMMARYThe TZe tape cartridges are often on the pricey side (which is why I Ioaded up when I found a good deal), but they work well and this label maker will, I think, save in the long run. Especially if it also lasts 20 years.

This is one of the best little label printers out there. It is easy to use, intuitive, and has a lot of great options at a very decent price. If you're just wanting to print labels and maybe add a little flair here and there, this is perfect. The cartridges are only about $3-$5 each, depending on the brand, so it gives you decent mileage for the cost. The 2 letdowns for me are that it does not come with a power cord. Not a huge deal because you can either use 6xAAA batteries or pick up a power cord for $10. Go with the power cord unless you need the convenience of carrying it around and printing on-the-go.The biggest let down is the LCD screen. All the stock photos look crystal clear and easily readable, but in reality, it is not clear. On my unit and on every review or 3rd party photo, you can see the contrast is pretty horrible. The funny thing is that it looks better in a photo than it does in reality, so I can't even post proof of what I'm seeing. The contrast on the unit lets you go up or down 2 notches, which barely affects the visibility in a meaningful way. It needs a brightness setting along with the contrast. That said, as long as you can get enough light hitting the LCD without glare from the plastic, you should be fine. A backlight with an on/off setting would have been fantastic.Even with the drawback of the LCD, I would still buy it though, as it really is a great unit.

My favorite labelmaker of many over the years. I love that it will print multiples of a label, that makes it easier much of the time. It's also possible to set it up so it doesn't waste as much tape, unlike earlier editions. It takes a bit of trial and error. I also like simple easy to use things. All the bells and whistles just make it harder to use. It is smaller than the more complicated ones. The display is a little light is the only down, but the rest all adds up to five stars. I just got another for my office. I've had it for nine months and use it often. Never had a glitch.

This is the one! I am so happy with this label maker. It is easy to use, good quality and the size is perfect. I can see what people mean when they say the display is hard to read, but other than that is it perfect!

My husband is having the best time labeling everything!
