| User Reviews |  | I love it!
rating: 5
I really like this unit --- easy to use (my 7-year-old has it worked out). The fabric tape is great; I used it to label my boys' clothes. Tapes stick well to lunch boxes and plastic boxes.
The downside is cost; tapes are kind of expensive.

A little tempermental
rating: 2
Ok, this machine prints nice labels, but, it's tempermental... 90% temper 10% mental. And, man is it stupid! In this day and age of user friendly devices how can something that prints labels and wastes 80% of the tape tell you the label is too long and then make you guess at how long you need to make the tape to make it work? I don't get it. Couldn't it figure out how long it needs to be??? And, why does it have to waste so much tape? If you get to use 20% of the tape for actual printing you'll be lucky.

Great hobby labeler
rating: 4
It is a great hobby labeler - for the issue mentioned above, there is a setting that allows the feed margins to be changed to be 'narrow' or 'continuous'. As long as you don't have a need to cut every label right after you print it, you can print several with less margin and use scissors to separate them later.
I do wish you could print more than one style of text per label, but it does not seem to be able to accomplish this.

Ok design and fast printing
rating: 4
My only complaint with this label printer (other than the very small screen) is that with every label you print, a large margin gets left.
Eventually this will consume more tape than expected - and the tape is not cheap...
My suggestion: If this is for occasional use for home/hobby - go ahead, it's a great buy.
If you need this for professional labeling (i.e. cabeling work, identifictaion) please spend the extra $ for a real labeling machine.
