1.0 out of 5 stars warning!!!, November 26, 2006
After owning a P-touch labeler for years,I found the need for a more duable label than my "M" tape was providing. I opted for this "TZ" tape labeler. Good price,looks good. What a mistake!!! The only thing well designed about this unit is it's abilty to waste more tape than it uses!! If you print a label of any size,count on it costing you two full inches of tape to do it!!! At $20.00 a roll,prepare to be screwed each time you push the print button.Then go find the scissors and cut the excess off,so the label does not look as stupid as the person who designed this pile of junk!!! But cheer up you can push six buttons,every time,to reduce the margin to "narrow". This will reduce the waste to a half inch on ONE side of the label,and print two small dots on the other side,this will show you where to cut it with your scissors,to match the "narrow" side. Also you must do ALL settings for EVERY label EVERY time!!Another "great feature,it will use the same amount of tape regaurdless of print size,so you will only print large print.What a joke!!! What a hassle!! Now the good news. I used to make lots of labels,and now I only make labels for VERY important items. And only when I am up to getting mad for doing so. I really wish amazon would allow us to give items a negative five stars! You have been warned!

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost a super *, September 26, 2006
I took this device out of its package and printed the label I wanted without having to read the instructions. It gets high marks for an intuitive UI, and quality. The only thing that brings this from being a 5 * product is the waste of _very_ expensive tape and the lack of an AC adapter which I knew before getting it. Two reels of tape equal the price of this machine btw.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wastes Two Inches per Label, August 5, 2006
I kid you not: every label has an inch of air on the left and the right, for a total of two inches wasted per label.
You can tweak the Margin setting to reduce one of the margins to about 1/4 inch, leaving you with 1 1/4 inches of waste.
Even ignoring the waste, you still need to trim each label with a pair of scissors--not very convenient, and isn't that why you bought a labeler?

I sent mine back to Amazon, even though I had to pay return shipping.
