Brother PT-P700 Label Maker, USB 2.0, P-Touch Label Printer, Portable, Up to 24mm Labels, Includes AC Adapter/USB Cable/24mm Black on White Tape Cassette

Nice neat little unit. Works fine with MacOS Monterey. I run it on batteries and prints fine. Only dislike is that it trims the lapels with a bit of waste but you can queue up labels in the app if needed.

Excellent products and will buy again. The White and Clear are indistinguishable from the original tapes and represent unbeatable value. I have an original 24mm sample tape in white and I cannot notice any difference between this and the 12mm white / clear non original tapes.

The Yellow doesn’t seem to print quite as clearly as the other two, but is non the less still very good. A perfect yellow tape would make these 5 stars.

Having said that, for the price I’d absolutely buy they again.

Good print quality, pairs easily with multiple devices, automatic cutter works well and supplied with sample 24mm tape.

Can’t comment on battery life yet as haven’t used it a great deal.

Mobile App gets pretty poor reviews although personally I think it’s good, straightforward to use, decent choice of symbols etc and can save and recall previous labels. Windows software however could do with a little update, works well enough, just a bit dated.

This is an outdated product. It uses an outdated software and a old usb interface. I guess that brother is moving on to Bluetooth.
However besides being supplied with out of date drivers, support is relatively easy to go through – although you must be computer literate to be able to get there.
It prints labels in ANY TT FONT on your computer. WYSIWYG. I have tested Cyrillic which works really well. Dont know any other writing systems, however if you need to print labels in a language that uses Cyrillic, this is (at the moment) the cheapest option in the market for thick labels.

A little more expensive than the handheld label tape printers, but so much more functionality.

Software is very easy to use, and it’s simplicity itself to add logos and graphics onto the labels too.

This is great to have as it does what its supposed to.
The only downside is that it didn’t me that I had to buy the special cartridge if I wanted to print on ribbon, which was another expense. I assumed that you could use ordinary ribbon that you feed through and it will print for you. This is not the case for this machine. There is a special ribbon cartridge that you have to purchase.

This label machine is nothing short of fabulous. I just love it. It is so easy to use and the table templates are great. Could not recommend this product any higher, I love it…

With the tedium of lockdown dragging on I decided that I need to declutter and organise myself and this printer has proved to be invaluable. The PC interface enables you to print in a range of different font sizes and to incorporate graphics, resulting in ‘professional’ quality labels. I was particularly attracted to this model as the PC app is much easier to use than a device with a built in screen (as long as you don’t need to label on the move) and it takes a wide range of tape widths.

A huge range of different tape and text colours are available and I have used it with both Brother and (much cheaper) third party tapes, with great results. I’ve used it to label a huge variety of things around the house including files, lunch boxes, cables and plugs, plant pots and much more – the labels have so far stood up well to the weather and repeated washing and wear and tear.

Highly recommended.

Expensive but a great little printer. A lot larger than I thought but not a problem as it isn’t unwieldy. Both iPhone apps are a doddle to use. Battery lasts ages with the bonus of not having to buy six AA every couple of days.

The only dislike is the leading piece of tape that is wasted with every print job. Depending on your label length you could be losing up to 30% of your tape due to this feature that cannot be changed or altered.

I bought myself a new fridge/freezer and decided that it was time to actually write on when I opened perishable food and for cooking batched items what the food was in the fridge/freezer as I like to move my perishable food across into a container and because I work in retail I don’t like wasting food. After looking between writing labels and a label maker, I decided to take the plunge and buy one. I’ve not regretted it. The app is easy to use, I can save labels that I make or are premade if you look through the label list, which makes it easier as all I need to do it just select what I need to print and away I stick. It is a bit expensive but I’m ok with that as it connects to my phone.
It took me a while to play around with the label sizing and finding the right one for me. But I’ve used it for other items so gone a bit label mad as times gone on. It has really made my fridge/freezer organised, and made me a bit more self aware of when I need to eat my food up by. I’m not really good at the sniff test as it makes me gag. I did use the sample up within 2 weeks but like I said. I had a lot of trial and error with size, so hopefully will last me longer on my current one. There’s also different types of tape colours which is going to be handy for presents this year.

I have many brother label printers and this is the best one for narrow labels (up to 24mm). The cartridges make laminated labels which means the printed part is below a clear layer and the layers are joined in the cartridge at time of printing. This is much better than the TZ type of label which are just one layer. The drawback is that print head and lamination roller are about 2cm apart which means you cannot print less than 2cm from the end of the label. My old ptouch printer had a manual cut button which meant the label always had 2cm white space at one end. This printer has an electric cutter which means it can cut off the 2cm part, so the label itself looks nice with no wasted space but there will be a 2cm offcut for each label printed. This P700 will not “half cut” which means the 2cm part is still attached to the label via the backing, instead the P700 totally cuts off a small blank 2cm label each time you print.
Otherwise the software is great and there is a good choice of original and “compatible” labels available. I’ve made professional looking labels for my fuse box, cables, binders, kitchen appliances. It’s so handy.

I removed one star because some old brother TZ cartridges would not fit even though at first they look identical. This modern TZe label printer can only use TZe cartridges. Older TZ label printers can use TZ and TZe cartridges. The explanations on the internet normally say the label is the same, just different packaging using less plastic. I took this to mean the packaging the cartridge comes in but it also means the plastic box the cartridge is made of. There is an extra hole on the new cartridge and the label size sense holes are in a different place. In the photo you can see the difference between new TZe printer and old TZ printer. If you have lots of old label cartridges then they might not fit in this printer.

You get what you pay for, and while this is more expensive than a standalone one with its own LCD display it is head and shoulders above any of them. WYSIWYG, so no trial and error, nice simple App, and awesome print quality.
So glad I spent the extra and got this Bluetooth one.
I have an iPhone 8 Plus running iOS 12.x, and an iPad Pro running iOS 12.x and it works perfectlyon both.
Super simple set up. I didn’t even read the instructions.

This printer is great. I’ve owned other brother label printers where you have to input text on the machine but the app and use of phone and WiFi on this printer is so much better. Loads of options and usful tools such as inserting images. Another plus is the ability to save labels as templates to use and customise multiple times, saving time and effort.

Excellent little printer. Very easy to set up all of a couple of mins. Software takes a little getting used to but nothing over complicated that any beginner can use. Printing is fast and clear. Am using labels outside for plant identification at nursery so far so good will have to wait and see the results after the summer.

Printing from my iPhone and having such a great range of typefaces is perfect for me. I have used a few of the portable Brother printers and this is by far the best one. My only issue with it is that the printer does not use the entire height of the label and there is a gap on the top and bottom.

Being able to print logos, photos, barcodes, etc is a really nice touch and perfect for any small business or for the organised individual.

I use this with both my iPhone and my mac and they work perfectly. The iPhone is perfect for when I need to print something quickly but I can really customise the label on the computer for those special products.
