The PT-1950 is the USB-ready P-touchlabeling system for office and light commercial use. With its PC-Ready capabilities, included AC adapter, compact size and available easy-change tape cassettes, the PT-1950 is the perfect solution for small groups looking to share a great labeler. The PT-1950 is extremely versatile, satisfying the varied needs of the entire office staff: It prints durable, laminated labels from 1/4" to 3/4" wide, for labeling file folders, computer cables, equipment and more; it functions both as an easy-to-use, stand-alone electronic labeling system, or can be connected to a PC for more advanced graphics and database printing; and it operates either on batteries (6AA), for portability, or through its included AC adapter.And the PT-1950 makes label-making effortless - whether you're creating one or dozens of labels at a time. It features a QWERTY-style keyboard, a two-line LCD display for easy text entry and editing, and an automatic tape cutter, which is perfect for cutting unattended multiple copies.

Summary: Does job well, a few issues
Comment: This product works as advertized and produces clear labels that stick well to everything I've tried, including flexible cases for electronics.
One difficulty: the distance from the print head to the tear-off point is long enough that you can't produce labels with narrow margins without cutting the tape by hand.
Also, I wish this came with a general print driver for Windows. You can use it from the computer, but only with their rather limited software.
Maximum label width is about 3/4" on this model.
Despite these minor limitations I am very happy with the product.
Buying the label cartridges is a bit of a puzzle because there are so many to choose from. I recommend [...] rather than Amazon, because they have done a really good job of organizaing their Web site to make it easy to know what your alternatives are.

Summary: Organizer's delight
Comment: This item is a winner. It was purchased based on my brother-in-law's recommendation of a smaller model. I am using it strictly for home organizing tasks and find it easy to use, fast set-up, and good labels for shelves, boxes, etc. Haven't tried the computer functions yet. But would definitely recommend this for making labels for home use. There is one proviso which I would note to the manufacturer. It is tough to figure out which of the label tapes fit each model. A better system is needed to identify them with the appropriate machine. To give an example, it would appear that all TMZ model labels would fit this one; it's not true though. Be careful about this when you purchase the labels.

Summary: Versitile
Comment: A great all around performer for labeling needs. Would like to see an option to upgrade it to a stand alone network printer. It is best to print a whole slew of labels at once to minimize cutting margin waste.

Summary: Labeler
Comment: This labeler is the best I've seen in a long time. Some of the functions take a little getting used to, but is worth getting. I like the ease of changing tapes. I label every thing in my shop. It just adds that "touch". The tapes are available every where. It runs on batteries or on a 110v adapter. I prefer using the batteries for the ease of portability.

Summary: A very nice labeling machine
Comment: I use this labeler in my home and have found it to be very effective. As others have mentioned, it is aggravating to have so much wasted tape at the beginning and end of each label, so that's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars. To somewhat solve the problem of the wasted labeling tape, I make a list of all the labels that I need to make and type them in on the machine in one continuous strand (until the memory is "full") with a couple of spaces in-between each label. Once it prints out, I then cut the labels apart. Yes, I know it's an extra step, but it sure saves on all that wasted tape if you were to be making labels one at a time. These labels stick very well to the plastics that I've adhered them to, unlike the tape used in an older labeling machine that I had before this one. If you are *really* frugal (as I am at times) you can save those little extra end pieces in a baggie and use them for labeling something small, writing on them with a permanent marker.
