What our customer's say!

"Great Labeler", easy to use and the labels are common enough to find in store on island. The price was just right.

"organized!", this is a great little printer. i have not tried too many things on it, i am not too technically advanced, but my neighbor figured it out immediately. one thing i did to avoid wasting tape between items is just to string along each title with only a space or two between them and then use scissors to cut them apart afterward. my shoe boxes have never looked so good!

"Works as advertised, turns off too soon", After two weeks it's fast, reliable and I like the set of printing options. It shuts down too quickly during idle time even while plugged in and I haven't yet figured out how to change that.

"my review", Great product. New to me though as I've never used a label machine before. Has a lot of interesting features that I'm becoming familiar with. Once I master everything though, I'm confident that I will truly enjoy this machine and the convenience it offers.

"Does what's claimed it will do, and does it well.", I would never have paid the full price for this labeler, but when Amazon offered it for around thirty bucks, I couldn't pass it up. I don't believe the software (for using the printer with a computer) is rated for Windows Vista, but it's supposed to work with everything below that. You have to provide the USB cable. I believe this printer was mainly designed to sell a lot of tape cartridges for Brother. The default setting has rediculously wide margins before and after a label's text. Even if you narrow the margins, or select "none", the leading edge still has nearly an inch of tape that you must cut off (it prints a mark to show you where). So, at the very least, you'll waste about an inch of tape for every label you make. The cartridges aren't cheap (about $11 and up). They're nice in the fact that you can change the cartridges out before they're empty. This means you can put different widths of tape in for different applications with no trouble or other waste. Changing the cartridge is simple. Each label is printed, cut, and ejected when you're done. It's expensive to operate, but if you can get one dirt cheap like I did, it's kind of worth it.

"Great Machine For Organized Living", I've had this machine for over a year and use it for household organization. I'm pleased with my purchase. I selected this model over the hand-held versions because I like the convenience of a full QWERTY keyboard. I keep this label maker in my kitchen, and quickly pull it out of a drawer for typing labels on spices and bulk foods. I can label my kitchen items in large type so they can be read on a high shelf. The label tape is expensive, but the resulting labels are durable. As an example of durability, I labeled my kids' school supplies and despite heavy handling the labels are still well-affixed months later. I've also purchased the fabric tape and have had good result labeling school items. The fabric tape irons on quickly and is much more convenient than sewing on custom made labels. The labels work well for labeling household files.

"Very pleased", I am very pleased with this order. Placed order 10/11/08 and received on 10/18/06. Everything was originally packaged and works fine. Only one minor drawback to this order, it was shipped USPS and I have NEVER had any success tracking orders over the USPS website!

"Great Standalone and PC Labeler - Recommended", The Brother PT-1950 labeler is a very versatile little machine that produces great looking labels with a wide variety of options. We use this labeler for both home and business with very satisfactory results. Here are my observations:

Standalone Functionality -
* Good size keyboard
* Easy to change fonts and styles
* Uses 6 AA batteries for portability

PC Connected Functionality -
* Must use Brother program "P-Touch Editor" to format and print labels
* Provides a lot of options, including Clip Art, graphics, and "Bar Codes" (a huge plus for us)
* NO USB cable provided, you must provide your own!

General -
* Makes very legible labels
* Accepts a wide variety of label sizes
* Comes with AC Adapter

My only complaint about this labeler is that it wastes about 1/2" of blank label per use and that really does add up since we use this a lot (hence the 4 out of 5 stars).

We also got this on an Amazon "Gold Box" sale for about 1/3rd of the "normal" discounted price, making it a fantastic value for what we ended up paying!

Highly recommended!

"Brother PT-1950", This is a great little labelmaker. I found the software easy to install and easy to use. The labels look great and they are easy to separate from the backing. You have available all the fonts you have on your computer and can set the font sizes to the maximum size of the label. I like that it comes with an adapter so I don't have to use batteries but I still have that option. Would definitely recommend.

"I like the printer, but...", the Brother PT-1950 allows too much tape,(tab/margin),on both sides of the title of the label, which makes for a lot of wasted tape. For example, when you type the name, "Chris", in capital letters, the name is about 1 inch long. Well, the label turns out to be a total of about three inches long, because there is 1 inch of empty/wasted label space before the letters (or whatever you are printing) begins to print, and then there is an empty space of one inch of wasted space after the printing is finished. So when you add that extra two inches of wasted space each time you print, A LOT of tape is being wasted, which will get costly. This is the killer of this machine for me. I mostly use the printer to create file folder labels, and since the tab/margin is so wide/long, I have to trim each label with scissors, which it is irritating, and inconvenient. I tried to adjust the tabs, but that doesn't help. The problem appears to be in the amount of space between the point where the tape begins to come out of the cartridge, and the drive roller that actually 'pulls' the label out. Btw, I tried to call brother, and waited on hold for at least 40 minutes before I gave up. I want to like this printer, but this is an engineering oversight. The reason to buy a labeling machine is convenience, and speed, but when you have to trim each tape, it no longer is convenient.
