I tried to print some new labels using additional styles and settings. This is my personal experience with a Brother Labeler P-touch model PT-80.For several years I have owned a model PT-65 and like the PT-80 it is also made in China. After reading reviews posted by other users, this is not be a defective PT-80, but a design problem.My old PT-65 uses 6 batteries and not 4 like the PT-80, and the batteries are the larger AA size and not he smaller AAA used by the PT-80.My recommendation is to avoid the PT-80, returning it for an exchange will not be practical due to shipping charges.Yesterday I was able to buy a Refurbished PT-65, like my old one, for less than 10 bucks and it works very well.Joaquin Arosemena I was able to print one label before the low battery indicator came on screen and then the PT-80 turned itself off.I was able to turn it on again and again, but it will only print part of the label every time. The PT-65 has been very useful for the usual household needs of my family, but when my 6 year old girl dropped it and cracked the case I decided to step-up to a newer model. I purchased the PT-80 at a very reasonable price($[.].), been aware that Brother makes it's profits on the sale of the tape and not on the machine.My first experience was with trying to use a set of high quality rechargeable batteries, after the initial set-up I was able to print 2 labels, then the machine stopped in the middle of the 3rd label.Since the back of the PT-80 states "4 AAA Alkaline Batteries" I replaced the rechargeable batteries with Alkaline batteries, much to my surprise the PT-80 keep it's settings and the text in memory during the battery exchange.
used it to label kitchen items. using it for more than a year and works fine.
I would recommend this to anyone. This worked just as I needed it to. Easy installation and directions.
I recommend as a gift as well. Easy to use and practical for labeling everything. Not a problem with the tape or peeling it either.
I'm on my second roll of tape; using the same batteries. It is a good value for the money compared to the more expensive brands. I purchased this label maker for our home business. It is very easy to use and does a good, professional looking job.
