Brother PT-1005 Label Tape

Design

This label printer is both portable and extremely easy to use. It only weighs 365g (without the tape cassette and batteries) and measures 107.4 mm x 56.6 mm, ideal for hand-held use and without taking up too much storage space when you are not using it. The printer features a helpful keyboard and a clear user interface with an intuitive design.

Advantages

One of the distinct advantages of this label maker lies in its portability, as it requires just six AAA batteries when it’s not connected to the mains. Using the included AC adapter, you can label products or packages on the go. Also, with an included cutter unit replacement, this is a product that you can depend on for the long term. The Brother PT1005 is also an extremely durable machine and will keep printing reliably and consistently.

Disadvantages

Some users have reported that the Brother PT1005 instruction manual and guidance literature is difficult to read, which could be quite a hassle when you just want to get going with your printing needs. Additionally, the user interface can be extremely sensitive, which is useful for when you need to cancel a job easily but can quickly become frustrating if you accidentally touch the wrong key. It can also be quite slow when printing, so if you need to produce a large volume of labels, you might want to consider a more heavy-duty machine.
