Works fine, but tape is expensive

 

I was attracted to the many features of this label machine. When it arrived, it was larger than I expected but it had lots of features. I was dismayed to find, however, that a singe tape for this machine is almost as expensive as the machine itself!

Nice labels that adhere well + tape waste = OK

 

I can pretty much chime in with the other comments here. As far as tape waste goes, not sure it is by design, it is because there is a 1" distance between the print head and the cutter. The printer isn't feeding tape at the start to waste it, it's the...

I don't know how the Brother engineers justify their paychecks

 

I didn't buy this from Amazon - I got it from Sam's club. For those of you who don't know, Sam's club provides generally very good (though not excellent) quality items. One can in some sense outsource their research to Sam's and be reasonably happy...
