| User Reviews |  | Great printer, but BEWARE OF SOFTWARE INSTALLATION! rating: 3
I've had numerous P-Touch models over the years, and I think the output they produce is superb. The software for the Mac, on the other hand, has lagged far behind its Windows counterpart. Older versions of the software, in particular, had problems with anything except TrueType fonts.
Now I see that Brother finally released version 5 of the software for OS X. I downloaded it and was pleasantly surprised to see that it had an entirely different, more Mac-like interface, and it handled all of my fonts just fine. I was quite pleased until I tried to use some of my OTHER programs.
It seems that if you uninstall the older version of the software before installing this one--something Brother tells you to do in the instructions--IT WILL WIPE OUT FILES USED BY OTHER PROGRAMS! So far the uninstaller has trashed Office 2008, Acrobat Pro, Adobe Reader, iWork '08, Adobe Creative Suite CS3 and OmniOutliner. It's hard to tell what others might be affected as well. I ended up having to do a clean reinstall of my system, which was NOT a small task.
So, buy the printer if you like, but BEWARE the uninstaller!

Excellent rating: 5
One of those rare products that is so good you look at it more as a sentient being than a product. The software is brilliantly simple. The resolution is very good--you can put actual pictures on your labels and they look pretty good. Also, the labels are extremely durable, do not peel off, and can be used outdoors! Can't believe it. Did I mention this product rules?

Well engineered product with a reasonable price tag rating: 5
This label printer produces professional quality labels with ease. I was printing great looking lables for electronic equipment within 30 min of receiving the box. I use the the black on silver, 0.75" double strength tape and the black on white, 0.25", double-strength tape.
I did buy a Zebra 300 series before for twice the price of the PT9500PC but it took weeks until I was able to print labels due to mis-alignment issues and ribbon peeling off or not sticking to the labels.
Great product, highly recommended.

The Best For Your Mac But Waiting For Drivers For The New OSX rating: 5
Running a small business you depend on your labeler and this one is the best of the best! I dumped all our Dynmo units as they just fail/jam too much. Unfortunately, the only drawback with this unit is the new Mac Leopard drivers are not out yet. But dont let that stop you as ANY P-touch on the Mac is in the same boat if your running OSX 10.5.1. They will probably have it released by the time your reading this anyway:)
