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

Really versatile and does a great job, we love it

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.

Excellent

Thank you

Love this - perfect for crafts

Theres things to dislike about this ribbon printer, but the results are so good I cant help but love it. For a start, the keyboard is horrible: Cramped and fiddly with an unpleasant (though positive) keypress action. With only the 3 AAA batteries needed, the unit itself still feels oddly heavy when compared to other label printers, but thats not a major issue unless you need to hand-hold it during use. Its much easier to use it on a desk. Theres a reasonable variety of special characters, some basic emoji, a few music characters and some clothing-related characters. There are also some appealing pattern characters too. There are also over 60 bookend patterns that can preceed and succeed the printed text. Fortunately, scrolling through the options is fast and easy, which makes up a little for the poor keyboard. Theres a 9v DC socket if you need mains power (not included) and a corner cut-out for a wrist loop (if youre feeling strong). Where this Brother shines is in the output. Its lovely! The shiny gold text on white ribbon mine came with is delightful. (See attached pics). I wanted to knock off a star on account of its fairly high price, but the quality of the output and the sheer heft of the unit makes me suspect its sturdy enough for a small business to rely on. I have to admit, the output quality of this Brother PT-H200 exceeded my expectations.

Very easy to use, bought the ac adapter because batteries didn’t last long

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

Absolutely perfect and so cute! This is great to keep things organised. Just as a little note the machine needs a lot of batteries and comes with a pack of ribbons, so if youd like to have sticky labels you should get them additionally.

This is an electronic label printer, similar to the Dymo range of LabelMaker devices, but aimed at the craft market. This means that it can print on a wide range of different materials - the included cassette is a white fabric ribbon on which the printer prints in gold, but it can also print on a variety of plain and patterned tapes, iron-on labels and the like. (Although that said, it is not obvious where you buy all of these from - Brothers online shop lists some, but not, for example, any more of the ribbon that is supplied with the printer. I should also add that it is not compatible with tapes for a Dymo labeller.) It is easy to use, with a full QWERTY keyboard and a reasonably intuitive menu system. There are a lot of options - 6 fonts, with various bold and italic options for each; accented characters, decorative frames, patterns and even emoji. It will print horizontally, vertically and upside down. A couple of niggles. First, the built-in tape cutter leaves far too much tape at the start of each label - there is around half an inch of surplus tape at the start of each print when then needs to be cut manually with scissors. Dymo printers manage not to do this - I assume it is a feature of Brothers cartridge design, but it is not ideal. Further, the styling on the printer itself seems to me to be clearly aimed at a female market; its all soft pastel purple with decorative curlicues around the edges. This seems unnecessary to me - it would be perfectly possible to have had a neutral design rather than something reminiscent of a womans electric shaver! Those niggles aside, its a nice printer; if you need to print on a variety of materials, its more flexible than the Dymo equivalent.
