5 of 5 Inexpensive and effective Saturday, November 15, 2008
Paul from New Freedom, PA
This label printer was purchased knowing it will not get a lot of use. I was amazed at how easy it is to use, it operates quietly, and the labels seems to stick nicely. I have used more expensive label printers at my place of employment and this is easier and just as fast. Professional looking labels are a snap to produce. Replacement label rolls seem a little expensive and you may want to investigate before purchasing the printer. Then again, so is printer ink. It will probably get more use than anticipated. Another great deal from Buy.com. Was this review helpful?  
3 of 5 Works fine, too bad about the keyboard Saturday, November 15, 2008
Mr_D from Wi
The unit itself prints fine, but
considering how big and heavy the unit is, it's too bad they didn't use a standard qwerty keyboard layout. I'm a fast typist but not on this unit, the keys are all out of order.
Pro's are solid construction, plenty of fonts, and can use AC power or batteries.
Cons are: unit is larger and heavier than I expected.
Takes 6 batteries, and a non-standard keyboard layout.
Value = 4/5 since it was on sale with free shipping. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Nice unit, affordable, Monday, November 03, 2008
David from Peoria, IL
Picked up this unit primarly for personal use. It is compact, easy to use and was very affordable. Kids use it to label school items, I use for files and different applications.
Thanks Buy.com for bringing this unit to the consumers. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 BEST ONE YET Monday, November 03, 2008
A Customer from KOSCIUSKO, MS
I HAVE ORDERED AND OWNED SEVERAL OF THE LABEL PRINTER BY BROTHER, AND BOY DOES THIS ONE OUTDO ALL THE OTHER ONES. THIS IS THE ONLY LABELER YOU NEED. I USE IT FOR BUSINESS AND PERSONAL ITEMS. THE ONLY FALLBACK IS THE AMOUNT OF BATTERIES IT TAKES AND YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THEM OFTEN. I OPT AND BOUGHT AN ADAPTER AND LOVE IT. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE. MY CHILDREN LOVE TO USE IT. I DON'T KNOW WHO LIKES IT MORE MOM OR KIDS. I LIKE THAT IT HAS SEVERAL TYPES OF LETTERS TO USE AND YOU CAN CHOOSE THE FONT SIZE YOU WANT. I LIKE THE BIGGEST WRITING IT HAS SO YOU CAN SEE IT WITHOUT STRAINING YOUR EYES. Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 A great label printer, but HUNGRY! Saturday, November 01, 2008
Steve from Holland, MI
What a fantastic deal! I think I paid under $15 with no shipping for this printer. The pros: the display and keys are large and easy to see, you can plug in an AC adapter for power, LOTS of configuration options, many label colors & sizes are available to purchase. A few quirks: it is not a qwerty layout for the keys - they're alphabetical in order, the LCD view angle is a little poor, it's just a little big, and it uses 6 AAA batteries. The biggest gripe is the amount of label that is wasted for each label. Even with the margins set to their tightest (narrow) setting, you waste over ONE INCH for each label you print, and need to trim this off with scissors (what a pain) unless you leave margins as 'normal' - but then the label is ridiculously wide. You can tell they did this intentionally so you'd have to buy more label stock, providing them with a renewable income. Great printer, otherwise, if you're okay with trimming extra white space!

5 of 5 Simple, easy-to-use labeler Saturday, November 01, 2008
A Customer from Bentonville, AR
Very easy for children to use (A-Z keyboard). Many different sizes of type and features for full functionality. "Power" button is where the print key should be. Wish Brother would somehow not use as much "label" when printing/cutting a label, but then again, they would not sell as many replacement cartridges, would they? Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great product Friday, October 31, 2008
Markdoc from W. Hempstead, NY
The PT 1010 is a great little machine, especially for the price. (on sale for $10.00!) It's worth the normal price of $40.00. There are only two drawbacks. One is the "Preview" mode. It's not a true preview, only good to check spelling. Fonts & layouts are not shown. Two is a non-QWERTY keyboard. Still only minor drawbacks for the price. I would definitely recommend for the occasional labeler. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great labeler-great price Friday, October 31, 2008
Gary from Westlake Village, CA
This was such as good buy that I bought three of them! Since I don't read instructions (;+]), it took about ten seconds to figure out how to use it. Great looking labels. Initial tape doesn't last long (kinda like the cartridges in new printers). Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Good Value, Keyboard is Clumsy Thursday, October 30, 2008
RainDancerVideo.com from Corvallis, MT
You can't go wrong with the value of this label printer. I bought it to use the Laminated Water resistant labels. I actually like the PT-80 keypad much better because it is QWERTY
and the PT-1010 is alphabetically in rows. It does have memory for frequently used labels. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 good purchase Thursday, October 30, 2008
A Customer from Seguin, Tx
This labeler works well and is easy to use.
There are a lot of different tapes available. The 9/64" is perfect for labeling cd disk cases. Was this review helpful?

Dead on arrival.
When I get a replacement that works I should have a better opinion of it. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Incredible value Wednesday, October 29, 2008
Lew Payne from Boise, ID
Bought this on sale for $10, complete with one label cartridge. It is a great little label maker, and replaces a 7 year old one that is much more bulky and has less features (another Brother, which served me well). This little label maker has more options than my old one, works great, and even has ten memories for your favorite settings, along with special size settings for cassette, mini-DV, and other pre-sized labels of that type.

5 of 5 Nice printer Tuesday, October 28, 2008
Doug from Leesburg Fl.
Makes great looking labels. Printed enough labels to use the entire sample tape (quite a bit) and the batteries are still working. To save tape set the margins at narrow or half. Was this review helpful?

This is a good basic unit. Cannot do bar codes or other advanced items but it is small and protable, making it very handy. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Nice Printer Monday, October 27, 2008
A Customer from Red Lion, Pennsylvania
I've been looking for a label printer for some time now. Always looking for a good price and great quality. This printer had an excellent price and the quality and simplicity of the product is great. It is fast and easy to use, it takes the work our of labeling. The price of tape is a bit expensive but overall I'd recommend this product to everyone. Was this review helpful?
