    5.0 out of 5 stars Works as intended
    Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2024
    First one I got wasn’t good. Sent it back and got another. This one worked well. I think the product works well and it’s made organization and labeling much easier. What I dislike is the lack of cute ones available for the USA. They had one that is hello kitty themed but it’s in Japanese. You can choose English but honestly it seems like a hassle if you press the wrong button and suddenly have a bunch of characters you don’t understand ???? I like that this one is white and it’s easy to apply cute stickers to theme it ourselves. But it still doesn’t beat the cute hello kitty themed ones out there ???? I mean why have basic when you can choose cute? Or other themes. It makes it more fun and pretty to lay around.

    Other than that it has cute symbols to make your labels less boring and different fonts/sizing.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I find I cannot read the screen.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024
    From Brother.com - here is what I found out about the screen.

    Adjust the LCD contrast!

    To adjust the LCD contrast:

    1. Adjust the contrast setting:

    a. Press Menu.

    b. Press ◄ or ► to select LCD Contrast.

    c. Press OK and the current setting is displayed.

    d. Press ◄ or ► to select the contrast setting. There are five settings: -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.

    e. Press OK to set the contrast.

    - If the LCD is difficult to read, go to the next step.

    2. Since the label printer does not have a backlight, the angle of the label printer and the lighting conditions can affect how well the display can be viewed. For optimum viewing, place the label printer on a flat surface and view the display at a 45-degree angle.

    3. New out of the box label printers have a protective film on the display that needs to be removed. Removing the film slightly improves the display's contrast and brightness.

    a. Using your fingertips or fingernails, separate the protective film from the LCD display from the top right or left corner.

    b. Pull the Mylar protective film completely away from the display to expose the smooth finished surface. Discard the protective film.

    3. If the contrast was better but now it is harder to read, try printing a label to test if the batteries are low. The LCD can be difficult to read when the batteries are low.

    4. If the LCD is still difficult to read with brand new batteries, you may wish to purchase a label printer with a backlight LCD.

    So, for me it was first, remove the mylar tape on the screen. I did not notice that there was something on the screen itself. Then I followed up with the LCD contrast and it made a big difference. I wish I had purchased one with a backlight screen but did not realize that was an option. All in all, I will say that this is a nice label printer.

    This label maker is assisting me in my attempt at becoming more organized and making items easier to find. I absolutely LOVE the labels that it makes…the simple text only labels would have been fine and accomplished my goals, but I’ve been having a lot of fun with the neat designs and frames you can add to labels. Unfortunately, my kids also discovered this and they love it too….so I’ve had to hide my label maker (which is brilliantly housed in a box clearly labeled by itself…but hidden from child view!). The tapes come in a wide variety of colors for a low price on Amazon, and the label maker itself was inexpensive for such a great item! It’s so easy to use—I never needed to look at directions, just started making labels! Very intuitive and easy to use… if you have things you’d like to label, I would highly recommend this machine! No ink to buy, no connection to a computer to deal with…just type it out and print. Amazing!!!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Works Well but Screen is Hard to Read & Labels Kinda Fussy to Peel
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2024
    The unit arrived quickly and in good condition. It works well and is easy to operate but the screen is so darn hard to read! I've been getting better at sizing the labels more accurately to save on tape. That said the tape is "fussy" to peel off and expose the adhesive and the labels curl up immediately after pulling off the backing and gets stuck together. It works fine for my purposes making only a few labels at a time but if you need to make lots of labels this is not the unit for you.

    labelled everything in my garage! only down side is the labels waste alot of tape with a rediculously long blank lead portion you can't adjust out. The Brother tape refills are expensive so this is a big deal to me. will try some no name brand tapes see how that goes.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great label maker
    Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2024
    All around it’s a pretty great label maker. The tape is easy to come by and is sold in bulk at a good price.

    The screen can be a little hard to read in really bright environments but otherwise very good.
    It takes 6 AAA batteries. Yes, 6. Or your can use a 9v power cord, but it’s not included and needs to be bought separately. If you power it by battery (what I’m doing) the batteries do last a long time in the printer. I’ve gone through 3 tape cassettes all on one set of batteries and no sign to change them soon.

    There’s tons on fonts and boarders you can do to the labels all with the same regular tape. Personally I use only the standard font but there are many options to choose.

    For the environmentally conscious:

    Now, this might be a 50/50 for you. The tape need to be printed on is plastic. Packaged in a special plastic cassette. After you print you need to peel the paper-plastic off the adhesive backing. Also inside that tape cassette, each time you print the tape has an ink side that does the printing and rolls up on the other end of the cassette like a VHS. So about 10-30% of the ink is used to print, the rest is unusable waste neatly rolled on the inside of the cassette. Very sneaky way to get us to buy more tape.
