This is our second Brother® P-touch® labeler, the first one having taken much abuse, but still in good working order. The family's main use for this labeler is labeling airline luggage and our son's adaptive and medical equipment. Tho I hate how expensive the refills are, this is a great product. It makes clear labels (in a wide variety of sizes and styles) that are very durable. It is quite easy to use; even our grade school children can operate it easily.

The labels on this machien are so expensive that I think most uers will quikly put it away. In addition, aside from the most basic uses, it is extremly difficult to operate. The manual is complete, but you must carefully work with manual in hand to do anything at all unuual. It is th elest intuitive product I opwn, and as soon as the first cartidge is out, it goes in the back room, never to be used again.

For consistency with the files we have already created, can this product create labels that look very similar to the Avery 5266 Assorted Color Labels we used in the past with a single color bar at the top of the label?
