We don't like how the label prints out extra blank label and couldn't get this to adjust easily. Refills are pretty expensive. Otherwise it's a great product and was well priced.

Comments about Brother PT-1290 Label Maker:

If you have to change width, style etc with this machine forget it! You have to get out the intructions everytime you use it and our office uses this machine on a daily basis! The tape is very hard to peel. I am sorry I gave away my old PT-65,that was easy.

The labeler is a good basic label maker but can not use labels larger than 1/2 in size. most of the good selection of labels are 3/4 and up. But for the price and ease of use. This is a very good buy.
