Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've put this all-in-one to the test for a couple weeks now - and we love it. We use it from three systems in the house, one running Vista, the other two running XP. HP's support for Vista has to be downloaded. It is really stupid that they haven't updated the CD in the box by now, not made the download idiot-proof (or even close). Downloading and using the Vista update is a little challenging - but it works.
Three KILLER featurs:
(1) two sided printing
It's about time we had an inkjet printer to do this!!!
(2) scanning to directories on our machine (to directories on Vista, which are password protected - nevertheless very easy to setup)
You load documents, push a button, select one of 10 preset places to scan to - and press START - the files show up as PDF (color) in the directory.
I've scanned stacks of onesided, stack of two sided, and a bunch of odd-and-ends receipts on the flatbed (one hint: tell it what size you are scanning on the flatbed, and it will double its speed because it won't scan to figure out the size and then scan for real).
(3) It is a network printer - so it is NOT dependent on any one computer being turned on - it is on our home network and simply receives and prints print jobs.
It is FAST (in draft mode). Very very fast, and good output (some unevenness - which is fine). In normal mode, it is slower and the output is excellent.
It is a tad noisy sometimes. It was very noisy during setup, and any time it is powered up and seems to sort itself out internally. This worried us at first, but it seemed to only be a setup issue - and not during regular printing. It is not a silent printer - but not excessively noisy either. If you want "laser printer level quiet" - this is not it - it is certainly not that quiet or smooth.
I do recommend HP fix their Vista downloads to be reasonable to us - it is embarrassing. It is also disappointing they haven't gotten around to updating their CD in the box.
The product is good. We've used the scanner, printer and FAX features well enough to be sure this is a winner.

The HP Officejet Pro L7650 All-in-One series features the world's fastest desktop all-in-one for business color. (1) As a result, you can print professional-looking documents at Laser Quality Speeds: up to 10 pages-per-minute (ppm) in color. With a cost-per-page that's up to 25 percent lower than comparable laser all-in-ones, HP made high-quality printing more affordable for cost-conscious small businesses. In fact, you can print for as low as 6.0 cents per color page, so you can think less about cost and more about creating the most colorful and impactful marketing materials with HP Vivera inks. Other innovative features also work to boost productivity and efficiency around the office. The embedded wired and wireless networking, and Direct Digital Filing features available on some models within the HP Officejet Pro L7650 All-in-One series enable you to quickly capture, share and manage documents. With 2,400 dpi CCD optical resolution flatbed scanning, you can preserve documents, photos and even three-dimensional objects. And, the 350-sheet second paper tray - included on some models and an available option on all - makes printing higher volumes a snap.

1/2" Round Paper Labels Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought several sized labels for my Brother GL-500, including these 1/2" round ones. I have found them to be too small for anything other than when I need a 3 or 4 digit number on a series of labels. The 11/12" squares ones have proved to be WAY more useful when you want a label more compact than the mailing address or file folder sized ones.

Brother PT9500PC P-touch Desktop Label Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had numerous P-Touch models over the years, and I think the output they produce is superb. The software for the Mac, on the other hand, has lagged far behind its Windows counterpart. Older versions of the software, in particular, had problems with anything except TrueType fonts.
Now I see that Brother finally released version 5 of the software for OS X. I downloaded it and was pleasantly surprised to see that it had an entirely different, more Mac-like interface, and it handled all of my fonts just fine. I was quite pleased until I tried to use some of my OTHER programs.
It seems that if you uninstall the older version of the software before installing this one--something Brother tells you to do in the instructions--IT WILL WIPE OUT FILES USED BY OTHER PROGRAMS! So far the uninstaller has trashed Office 2008, Acrobat Pro, Adobe Reader, iWork '08, Adobe Creative Suite CS3 and OmniOutliner. It's hard to tell what others might be affected as well. I ended up having to do a clean reinstall of my system, which was NOT a small task.
So, buy the printer if you like, but BEWARE the uninstaller!

Brother PT-2710 Desktop Labeling System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Brother PT-2700 Desktop Labeler produces professional-looking labels. It can be linked up with a computer so you're able to design your label on the computer and send it to the labeler for printing via a USB cable.
A quick word about the PT-2710 (this model) vs. the PT-2700 -- the only difference between the PT 2710 and the PT-2700 is that the PT-2710 (this model) comes with a plastic case for holding the power cable and other accessories; the PT-2700 does not.
Pros
----
- Keyboard
The keyboard has a QWERTY layout. Although it is not a full-sized keyboard, you can type on it almost as comfortably as you do on a regular keyboard. There's enough room between the keys so you can place your fingers in the "home position" (i.e. the asdf jkl; keys). The keys are rubberized, so they make absolutely no noise when you're typing.
- Backlight
The backlight is very bright, which makes it very easy to read what's on the screen.
- Professional Printing
The text produced on the tape is sharp and professional-looking.
- Print Preview
Some reviewers say the print preview looks nothing like the actual label being printed - and I must agree - the low resolution LCD screen can only go so far in rendering the print preview. However, I personally found the preview very helpful because it does in fact provide an accurately scaled representation of the label so you have pretty good idea how big the text is relative to the label, how much margin is around the text, etc.
- Computer Hookup
You can have many more fonts or designs to choose from if you elect to design your label on your computer with the software provided. You can embellish your text by incorporating text framing or a fill Pattern. It is also capable of producing a variety of bar codes formats. To print, simply link up the label to your computer with a USB cable. Another advantage to designing your label with the computer is that the software provides a highly detailed and accurate preview of a label to be printed.
- Many types of labels to choose from
The labels come in 9/64", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", and 1" sizes. You can also choose from white, colored (a variety of colors), clear, and matte labels. You can fit up to 7 lines on the 1" label. Select the right kind of label for your needs -- the labeler can be used to label jars, cannisters, bottles, boxes, binders, folders, envelops (e.g. address labels), storage drawers, electrical cables/wires, switches, etc. The labels can be used both indoors and outdoors because they are designed to withstand weathering.
- "crack and peel" Tape
Brother's ""crack and peel" tape makes it very easy to remove the liner to expose the adhesive surface.
Cons
----
- Stiff Keys
The keys on the keyboard are a little stiff, so you have to push down a little harder than you do on a regular keyboard.
- Waste of Tape
By default, the labeler snips off about an inch tape before printing a label. You can adjust the settings and bring it down to about 1/2 inch but there's no way to disable this "feature." According to Brother, the length of leader tape that's been out of the cartridge for long periods have a tendency to curl up and thus has to be snipped off before printing begins. But if I'm printing say 10 labels, I need only to snip off the leader tape in front of my first label -- not so with the labeler, it wastes tape by snipping off the leader tape before _each_ of the 10 labels.
- No File Names
You can't use filenames to save your work on the labeler. The files can only be saved as numbers (01 - 99).
- Expensive Tape Cartridges
Some of the tapes the labeler uses are: TZ251, TZ231, and TZ131, for 1" Black on White Tape, 1/2" Black on White Tape, and 1/2" Black on Clear Tape, respectively. If you check out their prices, you can see that while they're not prohibitively expensive, they're definitely not cheap!Conclusion
----------
The bottom line is the Brother PT-2700 is one of the best Desktop Labelers, and it does a fine job of producing professional looking labels. The computer connectivity is useful for giving you a wide selection of fonts and symbols. In addition, there are different colors, sizes, and types of label cartridges to choose from to suit your labelling needs. My only real gripe is the cost of the label cartridges and the wasting of tape -- apart from that, I really don't have anything significant to complain about it. If you need a labeler for a wide variety of labeling projects, I would definitely recommend this one.

Brother QL-570 Professional Label Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great label printer. Fast, reliable, and quiet. A bit bulky but the size makes it easy to change the label.
Note about setting up printer for postage:
I bought this printer to print folder labels and postage. Folder labels was easy enough but postage proved difficult. I read on a forum that you could print USPS click and ship postage. Signed up on USPS and spent a few hours trying to fit the postage image onto the label. Finally, a search revealed that paypal has this functionality. I signed into paypal and under Profile -> shipping settings set the printer settings to ql-550 (ql-570 not listed but it's okay). It gives you a heads up that you need Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment to print labels to your label printer and points to you a link for the no longer unsupported J2SE JRE from 2005 that no longer works. You do need Java Run Time Environment but can use the newer one. You can get it by searching for JRE or get the older one by searching J2SE JRE.
Then I went into Label Printing Application found under Aution Tools tab -> PayPal MultiOrder Shipping and printed two labels. Wasted about 1 foot of labels trying to get them to print. Then finally realized there is another setting inside this MultiOrder Shipping App under Edit -> Settings. I set this to the ql-550 and hit the "Reprint" button (next to View Details...) under the History tab. I wasted another foot of continuous label trying to print the labels. Then realized that reprinting keeps the original printing formatting. Had to void out the labels and /really/ re-print them (luckily I didn't have to refill in the shipping details). Very annoying experience. end rant.
1. Download Java http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp
2. Create or login your Paypal Account
3. Click auction tools -> free MultiOrder Shipping
4. If Getting Started pops up click Close
5. Click Edit -> Settings -> Print Settings -> Label Printer, and choose ql-550. (Also I unchecked packing slips and receipt. Packlist comes up after printing labels and you can choose your regular printer)
6. Click Ok
7. You are done. Click File -> Create New Order
Also, turn off pop-up blocker before trying to print and you might want to change your OS's "Printer Preferences" paper size to the correct value so you don't have to do this everytime you print. The default is wrong for the ql-570.
This is a big feature for the ql series so they should have some better documentation but it is equally paypals fault for poor documentation.
