Overview
A battery or AC-powered label maker that prints Brother TZe tape up to about half an inch wide, with a QWERTY keyboard, 14 fonts and built-in memory for repeat labels.
It runs on 6 AAA batteries or an optional AC adapter, and neither ships in the box, a detail more than one buyer flags after unboxing. Replacement TZe cartridges run about 3 to 5 dollars each, keeping ongoing cost modest.
- Prints Brother TZe tape up to about 1/2 inch wide
- QWERTY keyboard with 14 fonts, 11 styles and 99 frames
- Stores up to 30 frequently used labels for reprinting
- Runs on 6 AAA batteries or an optional AC adapter, sold separately
Who it's for
Good for home organizers, small offices and anyone labeling tools, drawers or files who wants a keyboard-driven label maker rather than a phone app. Less suited to buyers who need computer connectivity, since that function sits on other P-touch models.
Pros and cons
- No AC adapter or batteries included in the box
- Ongoing cost of replacement TZe cartridges, about 3 to 5 dollars each
Performance notes
The QWERTY keyboard and one-touch formatting keys handle 14 fonts, 11 styles, 99 frames and over 600 symbols across 25 preset templates, with room to store 30 frequently used labels for reprinting. It prints on Brother TZe tape roughly 1/2 inch wide, in one or two lines of text, and runs on 6 AAA batteries or a separately sold AC adapter.
