Occasionally, multiple labels providing necessary information had to be made. I had to constantly turn through index cards to find what I was looking for. This model was suggested to me by a friend. Extremely happy with the selections and ease of use. Simple to set up and swap out cartridges. Well chosen borders, fonts, characters, etc. I completed a few samples before deciding on the ones I would always use. Unless I modify them, the settings and options will remain in place. The left-center-right margin options are one feature that I enjoy. Additionally, after printing, using the NARROW setting only wastes 1/2" on one end. Reviews that state things like "they intentionally" or "waste material" should be ignored. It's all contained in the printed material. Up to 30 presets can be saved, which is ideal for me. I need to print five distinct labels in various colors. One great function is FILE SAVE OPEN. Choose a font, border, and lettering style (bold, etc.) accordingly. Next, enter the text you want the label to convey. Toggling between the LABEL and MARGIN buttons, pressing OK, then right arrow to NARROW, pressing

This label maker, the Brother P-Touch PTD210, is excellent. I updated from my entry-level P-Touch after about ten years since we were utilizing the label maker more frequently and it had an AC adaptor option, which is well worth the $10, in my opinion. When connected to the AC adapter wire, the labels feed flawlessly and print beautifully, and the keyboard and interface are easy to use. Although it is a little wasteful, labels frequently contain empty space to the right and left of the text; nevertheless, this loss is not as great when using generic tape. The printer is slightly less portable when using the AC converter, but this is a minor trade-off. While refill tape can be quite expensive, I've discovered that generic refills, which cost around 20% less than OEM Brother labels, function quite similarly. You can find them here on SmartMore. I purchased them, and they have been excellent.

A brief synopsis of my experience: I really like the Qwerty layout. Although the menus are a little confusing, I was able to locate the "frame" and "font select" options, which are crucial. Again, mostly a moot point, the icon menus are nice, but the icons themselves are sometimes unreadable at distances more than 24". The font choices are good, and the print is readable and clear. The fact that the tape is a little pricey doesn't seem to be "Brother gouging you" as much as it is the reality that thermal transfer tape is pricey. It seems strange that the majority of the high visibility colors I like—black on fluorescent green, for example—are supplied by third parties. Brother doesn't seem to actually create all the color combinations in their official graphics, so I challenge you to find Brother branded tape for every one of those combinations. When producing their own promotional materials, did they purchase tape from a third party? That seems incorrect. I see that the power supply is a typical guita ring-positive 9V power source.
