Brother PT-H200 Label Maker, P-Touch Craft Label Printer, Handheld, QWERTY Keyboard, Up to 12mm Labels, Includes 12mm Gold on White Tape Cassette

Easy to use. Takes 6 aaa batteries though. There is a port I’m assuming can be used for a mains plug without the need for the batteries. Used for labelling my nail pop sticks

Best one I’ve tried. Easy to use, great features. Light, easy to swap cartridges etc, child level skills, really nice look. Highly recommend, though shop about price wise.

Great Label maker Easy to work

Great addition to my craft room. Puts that little extra on craft

This is for my wifes crafting and adding touches to gifts and she loves it, Loads of options to print and different types of labels and ribons. Wifes now completed all the craft drawers with labels. Added bonus the grandaughter had a fab time printing labels for items around our home, it was worth buying just fro that memory alone.

I have used DYMO products for many years, from the very basic model where it embosses the tape through stressing the material to change the colour to white, indeed I have one in my desk drawer, which is the basic model that has been around for 40 years or more, through to the much more complex labeller which we purchased for our administrative staff to assist them in making labels of various sizes, with up to three lines of text per label. This item from Brother is somewhere in between the basic and the high tech model we purchased for work. For £39.99 (21st April 2018) this item is high specced and is aimed for home use/small workshop; it has a hobby bias. Out of the wrapper, we were fortunate to have 6 AAA batteries to start using the item, although you can use for an adapter which we didnt have available and unless you intend to produce a huge number of lables, I would suggest would not be worth purchasing, although if you have one already with a suitable plug available there is that option - batteries last for ages for this type of item from my experience. Batteries fitted, we inserted the tape and it was ready for testing. The item was supplied with a 4 metre tape (huge) which produces gold text on a white background. I am being a bit picky, but black on white I feel would have been the better option for the starter pack, but I am picky! Using the machine was a breeze, the keyboard is positive and recorded the text I wanted to produce quickly and I printed a number of labels without reading the instruction leaflet - which after I read it suggests that this item can offer so much more than printing labels, it can also print of fabric labels, offers a range of additional options including printing on more than one line (wider tape required) print on fabric labelling material and offers a range of icons to enhance text. The screen is clear and permits checking text and design before printing, although it does not store like higher end items. All in all it is a great little printer, it is solidly made, there is a huge range of tapes available, the printer is easy to use and maintain and should last for years, in lots of ways it is outstanding and I am delighted to own it. There is one caveat though, in terms of price for consumables, it competes well with Dymo products, which in the long run will cost far more than this printer, however, I found that the printer itself, whilst well made was more expensive across the range over their Dymo competing product. I really feel that this is a 4.5 star item: it really is a great item and if you need the additional options which this item offers, you will not be disappointed, I just wished it was priced at 75-80% of the current price point as it would offer Dymo real competition.

Spent a while trying to decide which brand and system of label printer I should get. Opted for the brother and dont regret it - has a wide range of backgrounds and fonts, plentiful and reasonably priced cartridges available at a range of stockists, and is comfy to hold, has PC layout keyboard and prints much faster than some other popular systems. Kids have enjoyed making labels galore - you may need to keep it under lock and key! Should add that the brother branded cartridges are excellent and the backing peels away easily and the label sticks through thick and thin. Have also tried a rival brand of machine (not brother) with a compatible paper cartridge (not the laminated plastic ones) and those labels printed fine but getting the backing off was almost impossible.

Brilliant machine, easy to use. Looking forward to creating many things

I just received my label maker today and already printed a lot of labels. It has 3 font sizes (small to large), about 9 fonts, and several designs/borders you can choose from. I absolutely adore this machine! It comes with a plain white ribbon too (although I havent tried it on the ribbon yet).

Absolutely love my label maker best buy ever. Its not the cheapest available but I wanted more than just labels, it was the ribbon printing that sold it to me. Really easy to use which it handy because there wasnt any instructions. Its quite chunky but not heavy. The vertical printing is handy too. It comes in lots of different colour tapes and satin ribbons.
