Auto-Cut Label Maker Machine with Tape PS-100E Rechargeable Handheld Labeler with Keyboard Multiple Templates for TZe 0.13-0.47 Inch Tapes Easy to Use for Home Office Industrial Labeling Organization

So, as far as Chinese products, this does okay. But, it is pretty apparent with the packaging and spelling errors such as when you print instead of writing executing, it writes excuting. Outside of that, it prints labels decently and seems to have a good amount of options for printing. One thing that I do like is that it can print very small. I printed a label for a small hitch pin key. I have a few hitch pin keys, so its a pain to tell which goes to which. This label maker that can print small enough for the key is beneficial. To me, its greatest strength is it allows for three modes of power input and it feels pretty tough/well-built. First, it comes with a built-in lithium battery that looks like an older-style cell phone battery. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE PLASTIC FILM BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND CONNECTOR TO GET THIS TO WORK. It also comes with a power adapter to where you can plug it in. Then it has three AAA slots to use batteries. With all these options, you know you can be portable with this thing. Its weakness is its not very intuitive. Ive yet to peruse the instructions, but, it took a little bit for me to figure things out by playing with it, although I did. One other thing I find annoying, and a lot is possibly from its vertical design, but the alphabet is written in alphabetical order rather than similar to a keyboard layout. Being a computer nerd over the years, its hard for me to find letters in alphabetical order as opposed to a keyboard layout. Altogether, this is a decent and commercial feeling label printer with some great options for power. If you think it fits your bill, it should do well to print labels in a work-type setting. If, you simply want to print some labels from a desk and use them around the house, you may find yourself better off getting a cheaper and desk-type label printer. This seems like it is geared more towards being on-the-go, in a shed/warehouse. But, it will still work fine for home use.

It’s got a lot of features; many options but not sure I needed something that fancy. It cuts each label automatically but I wish I could figure out how to get it to stop wasting about 1 inch each time you make a label because it does 2 cuts

It is a good label maker although it is quite large and heavy so depending on your application, this may be an issue. Primarily I use it for labeling my electronic devices as my handwriting is utter garbage otherwise. I have not messed with many of the settings for this, but thankfully the included manual does a pretty good job of helping you figure things out. My only minor gripe is that before it cuts a new label, it feeds out and cuts ~3/8 of tape to make sure everything works and to zero things out. A little annoying/wasteful if you make a lot of individual labels. If you do a string of labels, say 3 of the same kind, it only does it at the start. Overall it is a good label maker and I have no major complaints with it. For what I am doing it gets the job done.

I was impressed with the amount of features and settings, icons, font sizes, fonts, spacing, etc… this wound up being much more useful than I had thought it would be. I got it for labeling the cases on my CNC bits and the settings are allowing me to put more details than I had thought I’d be able to. The functionality is similar to that which you’d get in Microsoft Word. Good stuff!

To its credit this label maker is very well built and has an abundance of features. If youve got lots of time to explore the features without guidance from the owners manual then you may eventually find yourself very happy with this products capabilities in the end. I like exploring; I spent my whole professional career doing research. But when I buy a product I expect an owners manual that guides me through quickly, and comprehensively, so that I can spend my valuable time on other more important things. If you acquire this label maker do the world a favor and post an on-line video that walks people through: creation, naming and management of: files, paragraphs, pages, frames and labels. Theyre all mentioned in the way too short owners manual, and none of them is given adequate treatment. For instance: What does this label maker mean by paragraph? How is a page different from a paragraph? Can pages have multiple paragraphs? A file can contain up to 200 labels. How many paragraphs can one contain? Pages? What exactly is a frame? Can a frame contain pages? Can a page contain frames? I have been unable to answer any of these questions, despite reading the poorly written manual three times and searching the Web. I come at this label maker from over ten years of owning a Brother P-Touch. Nothing from that experience helps me answer the kinds of questions Ive posed above. Ive searched the Web for help with this label maker. The number of hits for Pristar is woefully small. No videos. No manufacturer Web page. Nothing to help. Its not a Qwerty keyboard, as others have noted. Im not dinging it for that. There are more serious issues here. Finally I would say beware of reviews that are essentially: Oooooo, cool new toy. with no additional helpful details. If you acquire this label maker youre in for a significant learning curve (and may not get all of your questions answered despite that effort), unless you find you dont really want much beyond simple one-off label printing, in which case there are cheaper options available.

For the price you can’t beat this hand held labeler . Easy to use.

It did not come with easy directions & the “shift” button is actually the blue arrow up button which does not tell you. However it is an awesome machine! Glad I purchased it!

Description for this label maker clearly states that it has a qwerty keyboard, but unfortunately thats not the case. The keyboard has the alphabet in chronological order (A B C D... Etc) which sucks but its not a fatal flaw. This label maker would have been perfect if it had a qwerty keyboard. I really like the auto cutting feature, which automatically trims the extra label length you get anytime you start a new label. Its the only label maker I have with this feature. It also comes with a lithium ion battery! So you dont need extra batteries to use it, although it does have space to use 6x AAA batteries just in case(?). Charger is included. Another nice thing about this label maker is the bright and easy to read screen. Great for those with poor eyesight . Also, the menu is much easier to navigate than most label makers at this price. For example, its really easy to figure out how to print multiple copies of the same label, or how to print several different labels at a time. Thats because each time you press print youre prompted with a screen that asks if you want to print multiples or just a a single lable. Easy! It uses regular brother tze label tape which is easy to find and super affordable. You dont have to tighten the tape before installing it since the printer does it for you, which is another nice feature. Overall, great label maker despite the false advertising. A qwerty keyboard would have made it perfect!

After turning on the printer, the screen of the printer keeps flashing, and you cant use it at all!

This one is a pain to use. If you can figure it out, it does make a nice label. I prefer the label makers with an app or ones that are really simple.
