BROTHERPT-P710BT Label Maker, Bluetooth/Micro USB, P-Touch 'CUBE+' Label Printer, Portable, Up to 24mm Labels, Includes Integrated Li-ion battery/USB Cable/24mm Black on White Tape Cassette

(No, I'm not getting paid by anyone to say this - it just seems to be the perfect answer to labelling!) This is a brilliant little label printer, rather undersold on Amazon and on the manufacturer's website. Had it been more clearly explained I would have bought it without a thought. I decided to take a chance and I'm glad I did..It can print on label tapes of several widths, the widest being 24mm. Different label tapes are available for printing black on white and several colours, white on black, black or white on transparent labels. The cartridges are simple to slot in and out so you can easily make just one off of a number of different sizes, formats and colours. I found it easy to install and get working with my iMac, and the downloadable App is cleverly designed so you can use different fonts, styles and sizes, plus barcodes, images and borders. You can produce multi-line type (within the depth confines of the label tape you are using). The only thing I haven't yet found is how to adjust the line spacing, but it's not a big problem. The labels seem to be encapsulated in clear plastic so should be durable and waterproof. Some reviewers criticise because it wastes half an inch of label tape each time, but I suspect this is essential for the way it works, and it does give scored tab which makes it really easy to peel off the backing. Apart from that it only uses the required amount for the longest line on your label. Multi lines can be centred or justified left or right.Uses so far - for sticking onto plastic plant labels, bottle and jar labels, cables and pipe identification. Perfect around the office, kitchen, garage, workshop etc. Just brilliant!

Simple and fun to use (which is not something I've ever said about a printer before). The app is great. I heard using the PC software is more difficult but I'm very happy using my phone to make the labels so that doesn't affect me.

I have many brother label printers and this is the best one for narrow labels (up to 24mm). The cartridges make laminated labels which means the printed part is below a clear layer and the layers are joined in the cartridge at time of printing. This is much better than the TZ type of label which are just one layer. The drawback is that print head and lamination roller are about 2cm apart which means you cannot print less than 2cm from the end of the label. My old ptouch printer had a manual cut button which meant the label always had 2cm white space at one end. This printer has an electric cutter which means it can cut off the 2cm part, so the label itself looks nice with no wasted space but there will be a 2cm offcut for each label printed. This P700 will not "half cut" which means the 2cm part is still attached to the label via the backing, instead the P700 totally cuts off a small blank 2cm label each time you print.Otherwise the software is great and there is a good choice of original and "compatible" labels available. I've made professional looking labels for my fuse box, cables, binders, kitchen appliances. It's so handy.*updated Nov 2019*I removed one star because some old brother TZ cartridges would not fit even though at first they look identical. This modern TZe label printer can only use TZe cartridges. Older TZ label printers can use TZ and TZe cartridges. The explanations on the internet normally say the label is the same, just different packaging using less plastic. I took this to mean the packaging the cartridge comes in but it also means the plastic box the cartridge is made of. There is an extra hole on the new cartridge and the label size sense holes are in a different place. In the photo you can see the difference between new TZe printer and old TZ printer. If you have lots of old label cartridges then they might not fit in this printer.

This printer replaced a very old Brother 'P-Touch' printer after 20 odd years of use and is even easier to use. Good quality printouts and the label backing is easy to remove. Cordless and quick to recharge.

Easy to set and use. Good clear print quality.

The software won't find the printer using Bluetooth (even the the device shows as connected in the Bluetooth settings). The label configuration interface is just terrible - it's very flexible, will probably answer any "can I do this" question, but is hard to use in practice. The hardware looks good, but the implementation is just shoddy.I'm going to stick to my hand held battery device. That's pretty average, but it's better than this thing.

I've used this for network engineer tasks, labelling switches, cables, adding QR codes to link to asset databases. I've used it for home tasks like labelling appliance plugs, storage boxes and kids lunchboxes. I also used it to print fake Ferrero Rocher stickers to go on my Brussel sprouts at Halloween.For a printer it's easy to get printing to work, it's portable and pretty versatile. The 12mm label format is a bit too big sometimes, but I guess I could look for a narrower format. The android software is almost useful but under pressure it's almost impossible to find any pre-stored label formats you lovingly crafted. This would be an easy fix. It's also possible to get confused with text rotation and fonts when you're in a hurry, which I wouldn't have to if I could just refer to my old template.Bluetooth works well, pairs well, the windows software is a bit bloaty (it's a printer after all) and would help if you could share between windows and android for your label library.Definitely better than a labeller with a keyboard.
