Overview
Typing labels for files, shelves and storage bins happens on a full keyboard with a graphical preview on this Brother P-touch, which prints up to five lines on laminated tapes. One-touch keys add frames and formatting.
Multi-line labels and on-screen layout preview make shelf and file labels easy to get right first time. You must buy batteries or an adapter, and resolution is modest for small logos.
Who it's for
Home organizers and office staff labeling files, shelves and cords get a simple keyboard workflow. Users wanting graphics-heavy labels should look at a PC-connected model.
Pros and cons
- Layout preview before printing
- One-touch formatting keys
- Several tape widths
- Starter tape included
- Power not included
- Modest print resolution
- Limited graphic options
- Heavier than handhelds
Performance notes
Print durability comes from thermal transfer onto laminated tape, which resists smudging. Text size shrinks as lines are added, so five-line labels need the wider tapes to stay readable.
