P-Touch PTD220 Home/Office Everyday Label Maker | Prints TZe Label Tapes up to ~1/2 inch White | Qwerty Keyboard, Prints on Brother Tze Laminated Tapes Up to 12mm, 180 Dpi, 2-Line Print, Saves 30 Labels

This is a great size for home use! It’s fairly easy to navigate for customization. The price is amazing for what it can do. It does NOT come with batteries or an ac adapter so be sure to have those ready. I bought an ac adapter to use in case I don’t have any batteries ready for it. I highly recommend this!

This label maker is super easy to operate and works right out of the box. I love that you don't need to connect it to a mobile phone or app. The built in keyboard makes typing and printing labels completely hassle free.

Always a great label maker. Same old complaint of why waste so much ribbon on the non-printed sections? Knew that when I bought it. DOES NOT come with a power cord, DOES have initial label cartridge.

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.

This is a great label maker. The compact size makes it perfect for a quick label for any project. It works for all my projects and has little chance of jamming. My only issue is that the device itself didn't come with any labels. Perhaps shipping with some would help make my first experience a little better.

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.

Works as advertised! One might want to consider a case that's also available on Amazon.....simplifies carrying power supply and additional cartridges

I'm having so much fun with my new label maker. This one is easy to use, prints a clear label, the cutter is excellent, and the label's adhesive backing peels easily! At first, I had difficulty seeing my label name on the screen, and was considering returning it. I discovered adjusting the contrast was the solution. I highly recommend this label maker!

This is an excellent labeller and very easy to use.
