Brother PT-H200 Label Maker, P-Touch Craft Label Printer, Handheld, QWERTY Keyboard, Up to 12mm Labels, Includes 12mm Gold on White Tape Cassette

Very good good value for money

Brilliant for labelling the back to school stationary! In COVID climate I dont want my children sharing supplies/wondering which bits are theirs so labelling all the stationary etc has been super easy. Slight bug bear is that I can see that the printed letters and symbols are likely to wear off the buttons very quickly...I really like the idea of being able to print on ribbon to personalise a gift or wrapping.

Really like this machine. Super easy to use. Has one ribbon tape with it but i did purchase 3 more from amazon. It’s great to create labels for my little ones clothing and accessories for nursery.

This is great if you really like labelling things and making present ribbons and name tapes for your childrens clothes. I do think you need to be a serious crafter or have a lot of children to make name tapes for to make this worthwhile. This is because to print the tapes you need to but cassettes (and yes they look very like the tape recorder cassettes of yore) that contain ribbon and ink for printing. The tapes seem to range in price from £6 to about £30 (for a 2 or 3 coloured tape pack). You can buy ribbon tape in a wide range of colours, transparent tape and iron on tape from the Brother website (and also from some other websites) so its not that cheap to produce your tapes but it does produce a wide range of results. It comes with one ribbon cassette to get you started. It takes 6AAA batteries (not supplied) but you can buy a plug in adapter for about £15 if you use the printer a lot. It is easy to use - you take the back off, slot in the cassette. replace the cover, select the font you want to use and off you go and you cut the ribbon when you have sufficient length. Its kind of fun but a bit too pricey (£39.99 atm) if you think you might only use it for clothing tapes and /or the odd personalised gift ribbon. It would be a good thing for a craft group or group of parents to have or someone who crafts and gifts a lot. It seems very retro in this day and age to have a handheld labeller. It is fun though except I found the qwerty keyboard a bit trying to use with my stubby fingers

I love how easyit is use the Brother PT H-200! I was in two minds about purchasing this as I thought Id be disappointed. I was comparing all different models and brands and Im so glad I stuck with this! I will be using it to jazz up my gifts, and to add a personal touch to gifts, wrapping and hampers. I love it and whats even better is my 15 year old is also fascinated by it. Shes labelled all the spices and has plans to organise a lot more!

This little ribbon printer is so easy to use - just put the six aaa batteries in, load up the ribbon cartridge, select the font and type the message... Its an easy way to make your wrapped gifts look very classy, and although I have printed some as clothes tags, I have a slight doubt about the life span of the printing when washed. A 9v mains adaptor is available, but not supplied. The colours of the machine are a bit pregnancy test, but dont let that put you off. The ribbon cartridges arent too expensive and come in a wide range of colours.

Thank you

This labeller is aimed at the craft market; in the box is the labeller, a set of instructions and a 4 metre gold on white 12mm wide ribbon, it doesnt come with batteries, youll need 6 AAA ones; there is also a socket for a DC adapter. Operation is pretty intuitive once the batteries and tape cassette are fitted. There are lots of styles and patterns that can be selected and the quality of the printing of the gold on the white ribbon is very high. The labeller uses TZ tape cassettes, of which there is a large choice, both originals and compatible, in different widths and colours as well as ribbons and iron-on labels for clothes. The display is clear to read, the keyboard is easy to use and the cutter works well to cut the ribbon. I have a much simpler brother labeller, which sadly uses a different sized tape cassette, and Ive found it invaluable for labelling power adapters so I know where they belong, and for making labels for seed trays and plants where Ive cut label sticks from scrap plastic packaging. Overall a fun to use, versatile labeller which will prove invaluable around the home.

Love this better than I thought

My daughter loves it! She is labelling everything now thinking of getting one for myself! Can get several different colours of tape in different widths which is handy!
