Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If your reading this, you're looking for a good Labeling System. If you want a "stand-alone" item (which even can hook into your computer) this is the best of both worlds. I use the Brother PT-2600 mostly as a stand alone unit. The few times I used it with my Mac G4, it gave many options---most of which I did not need, so I prefer to use it without the computer (although I keep the USB plug connected). I've used mine for nearly a year with zero problems and without the battery eliminator. It's still using the original batteries (it does take 8 AAs). Now, let me address the "caveat". I had a need to use gold and silver backed foil labels with black ink. Brother does NOT make such a product. They make Gold Ink on BLACK background (which looks worse than terrible). It is for this reason I purchased the DYMO LabelManager-150. Its smaller than the PT Brother series, only takes 5 AA batteries, and it too is still running on the same battery pack I received when I purchased the item a year ago (about 1 month after I purchased the PT-2600 Brother. In my review of the DYMO Labeler I only rated it four stars because it does not have an automatic "cutter" which cuts the label after you've printed it. You simple push a "cut" button and it cuts the label for you.It DOES feed the label out, however. The brother unit does this all for you, including cutting the label so the label simply drops on the desk or into your hand (no doubt this is why the BROTHER requires 8 batteries and the DYMO only 5).
Bottom line: Unless your a perfectionist like myself---I simply had to have that lovely "gold plated" background look on labels for a specific ongoing project ---than purchase the Brother. It has every format, even address mailing labels (the DYMO does NOT have that feature). For myself--- I had to have both.
I trust this review has given you some added insight into this product!
