Comments about Brother PT-1290 Label Maker:

This product in overall performace works great.However,the price of label cartridge or refill set of two is [$].This price should reduce to $29.99 for the set of two.Also I notice the Label Marker cuts at least one off set from the cutting precision.It makes waste of tape by lack of cutting precision.

Comments about Brother PT-1290 Label Maker:

This is my second Brother label maker. I find the machine very easy to use and it prints a good clear label. I use the labels to identify pictures and dates when the pictures where taken. The only problem is that the tapes are not easy to find in quantity and the cost of tapes is a bit pricy for my budget.
