Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Looking to win the Most Organized Person award at the office? Tired of misfiling bills at home? Whether your labeling needs are business or personal, the Brother PT-2200 is just the ticket.

Light years ahead of other types of labeling machines, the PT-2200 offers four different fonts, seven type sizes, and eight type styles. From italic bold in 48-point capitals to 6-point outline, one of the possible combinations is sure to cover your needs. There's even vertical printing, which is great for labeling doorways and shelving. With a large variety of tape and print-color combinations (five sizes, 14 colors, and three specialty tapes), the options for retail purposes are tremendous--this is the perfect machine for decorative, tiny signs on bulk or bin items. Or, you can whip up a few temporary labels just for inventory time.

While the PT-2200 is large enough that you'll need a desk or countertop to operate it from, it's simple to use, and anyone with keyboard skills can handle it. The tape cutter is built so that fingers are well protected from its sharp edges. The PT-2200 arrives with eight batteries. It runs through batteries pretty quickly, though, so we recommend purchasing an AC adapter if you plan on running the unit for long periods of time. For any office or home in desperate need of some organization, this labeler could end up being a real time saver. --Jill Lightner

Pros:

• Incredibly versatile
• Great for retail use
• Easy to operate

Cons:

• Eats batteries, adapter not included
• Text screen can be difficult to read

4.0 out of 5 stars A full featured label maker for home or office, August 24, 2000

This unit has a full assortment of bells and whistles, but you can ignore them and use the default/automatic settings and still have great results for many label needs.

The unit has a number of preprogrammed formats for such things as file folder labels that help give consistent results.

The automatic tape cut off is a nice feature.

Be sure to get the AC adapter since battery life, especially when printing large size fonts will be a disappointment. The price of the adapter seems a little high which is why I rate the product 4 rather than 5 stars.

The keyboard is easy to use and the process is fast enough that I see no need to have one of the more expensive versions that interfaces to a PC.

All in all it has been everything I expected it to be.

I wanted a lebeller that was easy to use, not messy and the labels did NOT come off. Well, I found it!
Simple, Type it, label it. Mirror, lots of fonts, different tape sizes ..to change simple remove and insert,2 seconds what could be simpler?

The automatic tape cutter is easy and necessary especially if little ones go fiddling. NO cuts for those precious little fingers.

The one minus is...I cannot FIND anywhere that sells the recommended adaptor. (...)...so I am using batteries. It's been 7 months and I have labelled the light switches [ now if only they would glow in the dark I would be ecstatic! Something for Brother to consider], drawers at home and at work, my daugher's toys, bags, computers, electronic equipment, CD cases, furniture [yeah call me labelholic or obsessive but since I am renting I can keep track of my items when it is time to move] and still have the same batteries that the system came with.

What else can I say? The labels are really professional looking. The lamination is excellent. RED on white is really nice. It stands out and you can see it from a mile away. BLACK on white is equally good. Size...12mm= 1/2 inch is really handy for all purpose labelling.

Oh by the way, that little tool that comes with the system to separate the lables is a MUST have to avoid getting an MI separating the adhesive strip. I am very staisfied. You will be too. Good price, good buy.
