Brother PT-90 P-touch Label Machine

I used to use a couple of older P-Touch models that were designed for business purposes. I would go on labeling sprees throughout the 5 offices that I was responsible for, not only to organize but also to label instructions on equipment and what to never touch.I was unsure of how this personal use model's labels would hold up since they are not laminated. I was very pleasantly surprised. I could not really tell the difference other than the labels are not as thick. Now, a mother of a 2 1/2 year old with an over abundance of toys, I have found this P-Touch perfect for helping me keep things organized. My daughter loves the pictographs, especially the animals; she loves the stars and hearts border functions as well.My only suggestion is to make sure to shut it off ... MoreI used to use a couple of older P-Touch models that were designed for business purposes.

The 4 AAA batteries literally lasted only one day.

This is the most frustrating piece of garbage I have ever encountered. The unit I received from Staples was obviously a return. There were scratches on the window, it was locked up with all K's in the window and there were no interchangeable bezels. I bought it because it was supposed to be on sale but today when I went on the page it was the same price as the sale price. This is $29.00 more than it is worth. The screen is dim and barely visible even in the best of light. The controls are confusing and poorly labeled. The tape is virtually impossible to separate from its backing even with the "handy-dandy" peeler included. When I finally reset the machine to its factory defaults I got it to print two labels. The quality of the printing was excellent but then you ... MoreThis is the most frustrating piece of garbage I have ever encountered. The unit I received from Staples was obviously a return.

The quality of the printing was excellent but then you have to remove that backing. Ugh. And of course while the machine is cheap and virtually unusable the tapes are expensive and designed to recover the loss on the electronic marvel that sits in your drawer.

Great looking labels if you have the patience of a saint. Not for anyone trying to be efficient. My unit was purchased from Staples and was obviously a unit that had been returned probably because the purchaser did not have the patience of a saint. I did not get the interchangeable bezels, the unit was full of K's and could not be cleared until I did a reset to factory default. Then I managed to print two labels hoping I got them right because the screen was virtually invisible. Then you have to figure out how to get the backing off the labels using the handy dandy enclosed backing stripper that really doesn't work very well at all. I did manage to get a little crevice where I could insert a knife. The instructions are not helpful in fact they make the whole ... MoreGreat looking labels if you have the patience of a saint.

A little machine trying to do too much to be productive in an office environment. See if they still have a Dymo Letra-tag. It works and is fairly simple to understand. The backing is easily removed from the tape.
