Overview
Office file rooms and supply closets are where this desktop labeler pays off, printing laminated tape labels that resist handling. Type on raised keys and preview on a backlit display, or connect by USB and design labels on a computer.
Laminated tapes in many colors and widths produce labels that last on shelving, cables and equipment. It prints on tape cassettes, which limits it to strip labels rather than full sheets or postage.
Who it's for
Office managers, facilities staff and organized homes labeling folders, bins and wires get durable laminated tape labels from a keyboard or a PC. Online sellers printing package labels need a thermal shipping printer instead.
Pros and cons
- Durable laminated TZe tape labels
- Raised keys for accurate typing
- Backlit graphical display
- Prints bar codes
- Batteries not included
- Tape cassettes only, no paper sheets
- Print speed not listed
Performance notes
Label durability comes from TZe laminated tape, where the print is sealed under a clear layer that protects it from smudging and wear. The built-in collection of pre-designed labels and the download feature shorten setup, while the cutter gives each label a clean edge.
