Brother P-Touch PT- D610BTVP Business Professional Connected Label Maker | Connect and Create via Bluetooth® on TZe Label Tapes up to ~1 inch,White

This is a solid label maker and the app is awesome. The ability to add shapes files (pics) to the labels from the app makes custom label making a breeze. The variety of label sizes and types adds to the functionality.The interface on the label maker itself without the app is a little disappointing. You can make basic labels but you are limited in what you can create.I’ve used the shrink wrap labels for my auto wiring and it’s awesome. It was a great help when reworking an engine harness. Labels are clear and crisp.I can’t speak for the sample label cartridges. I have no idea how big or small they are, but replacements are cheap from a bunch of suppliers. P-touch cartridges.

The media could not be loaded. Overall, I really like many aspects of this label maker. It is my first Brother label maker, but I've I had experience with other brands. The difference was that they all required a computer to use. I tested this label maker with the provided sample labels using different templates. I printed directly from the label maker, via Bluetooth with an Android phone, iPad, and a Windows computer. The mobile app is called iPrint&Label and the desktop software is called P-Touch Editor 6. Functionality between mobile and desktop was similar, but as you can imagine, the desktop app was more robust.The case that came with it was functional and there was space for the sample labels, the printer, and the ac plug. You can choose to use six double batteries (not included) instead if you need a more portable solution.Build quality for the label maker itself is solid. It is a matte plastic with a little bit of a sheen to it. I didn't notice any fingerprints on it. The keys felt good, but they have a little too much side to side movement for me. Hopefully it won't be an issue in the long run.The print quality was mostly good, a font did look a little jagged when printed depending on the template chosen. This only showed up on one label out 30. For me it wasn't a deal breaker and I'll do more testing to see if it comes up again. I use the label maker for my photography and video gear, but also use it for some additional items around the house. To peel off the label, turn it over and separate the two part split on the bottom. I did try readjusting the positioning of a label that I put on a case and it came up easily. To be fair, I did it within a short amount of time and not after a day or two.In terms of sound while printing, it is noticeable for sure, but I didn't find it to be excessive with regard to volume. I would definitely recommend this to people who like the flexibility of printing without a computer, even though the desktop app does work with Mac OS and Windows at the time of this review. It will definitely take time to work through all of the templates and maximize all of the available options.

My last Brother P-touch lasted over 10 years, but the display finally started going bonkers, so it was time for a new one. I also wanted one that could use 1" tape, so this model is really the only choice. The automatic cutter is nice too.I had no problem connecting via bluetooth to my laptop or downloading and installing the Windows software. I didn't bother with the mobile app. It's easy enough to create commonly used label types right on the printer, but the software on a PC (or Mac) allows you to do a lot more if need be. I had no problems at all using the latest software.This labeler comes with a power supply which is nice; it was an extra-cost option on my old one. Being able to use batteries or AC power is convenient. Mine will mostly sit on my workbench, but it's nice to be able to take it elsewhere without having to find some place to plug it in.I agree with another reviewer that if you can afford it, go with this model. It's the only one that can print on 1" labels and even if you don't need that now, you might someday. It's not a huge investment and you will probably find yourself using it more than you thought you would.I also have a Brother all in 1 laser printer/copier/scanner. I've had good experiences with Brother products so far.

Great Label Printer just note this:Online manual is confusing because it talks about features not available in the newest version of P Touch editor (v 6).Long story short: If you want some of the advanced features of this Label printer, use the older version of the software- at least until Brother updates 6 to have the same features as 5.4.To get 5.4 you have to chose an older model like QL570 and get it from there.You can run 6 and 5.4 at the same time, but you may have to uninstall and reinstall the print driver when you add the second version and then you are good.Version 5 lets me import from Excel and print serial numbers out as bar codes. Should be great for inventory at work and they include a working sample with 5.4Both Bluetooth and USB work great. You have to use USB for some functions like template transferTape cartridges are not cheap but are reasonable.As a IT admin for 30 years, I have had good luck with Brother products. They are not perfect but have been super reliable .As a homeowner, I like them enough that I just ordered a their new color laser (LED) (MFC-L3780CDW) today! Not looking forward to buying toner but worth it to get away from inkjet and all the problems they come with.One last thing: if you are on the line between this 610 model and the slightly cheaper 410 model:The 610 is worth it for sure. I have the 410 and while it works great, the 610 offers a lot more connectivity because of Bluetooth . You can't easily print (if at all) to the 410 from your phone because it lacks bluetooth. The color screen on the 610 is MUCH MUCH easier to SEE because it larger, backlight and in color. I can barely see the 410 in my home office as it is on the dim side. No issue with the 610. Also the 610 prints 1" compared to 3/4" tape for the 410. The $60 extra is well worth it to me.
