 Rating:  - PT-1280 is a cheap machine to buy, expensive to keep in labels!Agree with ALL of the reviews about the PT-1280 wasting label ribbon. I bought this machine about 4 months ago at a Staples while I was in store to fill an immediate need. Sadly, I didn't do my normal research & check how much it was on Amazon or, more importantly, read any reviews. The cost of the machine itself is cheap, but the label ribbons are so pricey you think twice about labelling. In addition to the narrow margin & chain print functions (which you have to set EVERY time), another way ... Read More Rating:  - wasted tape = swindleBought, tried, returned. (Should've read online reviews first and skipped all three steps!) Simply put, the replacement tape is expensive, and this machine is designed to waste as much of it as possible. Using the "narrow margin" setting only slightly reduces the waste on one side; on the other side it spits out all the same waste and then tells you to cut it off by hand. I went and got a cheap Dymo labeler instead. Its features and interface are much worse than the Brother's, but it's ... Read More Rating:  - cheap, reliablePretty basic, but a labeller doesn't need to be fancy, and it works great so far! Great price! Rating:  - What a waste!It would be easy to give this labeler 5 stars if it didn't waste tape at the end of each label. I thought I would be able to just print lables and stick them on, but you will need a scissors unless you want an inch of blank tape before and after each label. Otherwise, it works well and is quite intuative without having to read the directions. Nice selection of different tapes, as well. Works great for labeling wires in a network, on your computer or stereo system. And if you have a zillion ... Read More Rating: - Too badThis products is trash in comparison with the PT-80 (the model we always trusted) in regards to the amount of tape waste. This product was released in 2005, now we are in 2008 and the manufacture (Brother) didn't even bother to correct the problem of the amount of wasted tape, despite the endless complains from all reviewers. 3 years and this product is still as is.. In fact I don't think its a problem on their end, this product had been designed this way, to waste more tape, thus forcing us ... Read More |
