So far I’m loving it. I like the lit screen and the fact that it comes with a charger and tape. It also winds the tape so you don’t have to. I would recommend

It did not come with easy directions & the “shift” button is actually the blue arrow up button which does not tell you. However it is an awesome machine! Glad I purchased it!

To its credit this label maker is very well built and has an abundance of features. If youve got lots of time to explore the features without guidance from the owners manual then you may eventually find yourself very happy with this products capabilities in the end. I like exploring; I spent my whole professional career doing research. But when I buy a product I expect an owners manual that guides me through quickly, and comprehensively, so that I can spend my valuable time on other more important things. If you acquire this label maker do the world a favor and post an on-line video that walks people through: creation, naming and management of: files, paragraphs, pages, frames and labels. Theyre all mentioned in the way too short owners manual, and none of them is given adequate treatment. For instance: What does this label maker mean by paragraph? How is a page different from a paragraph? Can pages have multiple paragraphs? A file can contain up to 200 labels. How many paragraphs can one contain? Pages? What exactly is a frame? Can a frame contain pages? Can a page contain frames? I have been unable to answer any of these questions, despite reading the poorly written manual three times and searching the Web. I come at this label maker from over ten years of owning a Brother P-Touch. Nothing from that experience helps me answer the kinds of questions Ive posed above. Ive searched the Web for help with this label maker. The number of hits for Pristar is woefully small. No videos. No manufacturer Web page. Nothing to help. Its not a Qwerty keyboard, as others have noted. Im not dinging it for that. There are more serious issues here. Finally I would say beware of reviews that are essentially: Oooooo, cool new toy. with no additional helpful details. If you acquire this label maker youre in for a significant learning curve (and may not get all of your questions answered despite that effort), unless you find you dont really want much beyond simple one-off label printing, in which case there are cheaper options available.

Works well and alot of features. Just waste alot of the paper in each cut. I tried messing with the features and nothing stops that extra blank space of no print. But it works.

While this label maker may be overkill for some, its pretty great for anyone on the networking team or folks working in the IT Department. Ive been using this over our other Brother label makers for a month or so now and its performing just as well as the other label makers. I particularly like the margin settings so I can cut down on label tape waste. Ive only experienced a few jams since using it and in the few incidents it did jam part of the issue seemed to reside in the tape or the dispenser being blocked while printing.

I confess I have another label maker and made by a well-known brand that uses these exact same labels. So why did I obtain this? I did because my other label maker is so complicated that every time I go to use it I feel like I have to relearn it all over again. When I want to make a label I just want to make a label. I dont care about frames or fonts or any of the rest. Im trying to get something organized and I want a label. Now.. This has all the fonts and frames if youre looking for them. But what I liked about this is I picked it up, inserted the tape and within 2 minutes I was printing labels. I didnt have to go read an instruction book or go six levels down in menus just to create a label. This thing is built very heavy duty like an industrial piece of equipment. Thats fine with me. What I like is that its very bright so its easy to find and its small enough that its going to always be right there in my work area. My other label maker is at least three times the size of this. So eventually Im sure Ill get around to reading the manual and how to do all of the sophisticated stuff or maybe not. Right now I am too busy making labels to read a manual. Recommended

This label printer is heavy duty great quality and also a great value works great for home or office. Give it a try I did.

This unit does everthing it was designed to do.

This one is a pain to use. If you can figure it out, it does make a nice label. I prefer the label makers with an app or ones that are really simple.

The unit is very portable, it has a rechargeable battery and option to put in regular batteries, also charges and works with a power adapter. Prints very nice with optional fonts and images. Able to store some labels into memory. All very nice with a comprehensive manual. This unit is as the vendor describes.
