Brother Printer PTD450 PC Connectable Label Maker

The P-touch PT-D450 is an ideal label maker for users who want a quick and easy way to create a wide variety of durable labels for their home office or business.

The P-touch PT-D450 is a compact, PC-connectable label maker with a large, QWERTY-style keyboard and a backlit graphical display that help make it easy to create professional labels for the home office and business. You can connect the PT-D450 to a Windows or Mac computer with the included USB cable to be used with the free P-touch Editor Label Design software(1). Used on its own, the PT-D450 features an easy-type keyboard with large keys and an angled design for comfortable typing. It also features one-touch formatting keys that help save time when adding frames or changing other formatting options.

Connects to almost any computer in your office with included USB cable!

P-touch Editor Label Design Software helps you print a wide range of professional-looking labels from your Windows or Mac computer.

P-touch Editor Label Design software enables you to connect to your computer to create an impressive array of labels. Choose from an expansive library of label templates and create custom labels using fonts, symbols and graphics stored on your computer. This powerful software also automatically detects the color of your tape, presenting a true WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) label design experience.

Create labels using the large library of fonts, frames and symbols.

Create personalized labels up to 18mm (.70 Inches) wide using virtually any combination of the 14 fonts, 10 font styles, 99 frames and over 600 symbols available to choose from. Plus, the PT-D450 features a large internal memory that lets you save up to fifty of your most-commonly used labels and reprint them with a few button presses!

Flexible powering options let you use the PT-D450 almost anywhere.

The PT-D450 can be powered by either 6 AA batteries (not included) or the included AC power adapter to give you the ability to make labels at your desk or on the go. Plus the generously-sized backlit display is bright enough to give you a clear view of your work, even in low-light conditions.

Works with a variety of tapes from the long-lasting laminated TZe Series.

TZe tapes are protected by a thin, clear film to withstand water, grease, fading, abrasion, heat, and cold, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor applications. TZe labels feature a split back design for hassle-free application. Use one of our specialty tapes to create flexible cable and wire identification labels or create labels with acid-free adhesive(2) that are safe for scrapbooking and other photo-sensitive materials. There’s even non-laminated fabric iron-on tape for labeling clothing and more.

Your only limit is your imagination!

Use P-touch labels to help you stay organized at work, at home and everywhere in between. Categorize folders with colorful labels according to content to help facilitate quick identification and retrieval of important documents. Create labels for shelving to help keep your supply closet organized. Create labels to easily identify personal items and travel gear– TZe labeling tape is designed to last!

    Do not buy! Jams every use!
    Warning Do not buy this product! It jams literally every use and the labels are completely unusable garbage. See Pictures. But wait it gets worse! I tried reaching out to support and the "help" was have you tried using it? Is it turned on? Apparently customer support thinks the device is powered by magic, and that magic crumples the tape... not a single word support said could be considered help or support with the issue.

    Great label-maker! Very versatile and it prints quickly and quietly. I haven't explored all of its options yet, but I am extremely satisfied. The sample tape that came with the label-maker printed out at least two dozen labels, so I expect the other cartridges I purchased to last a long time. I echo Ashley S' s comment about the wasted tape at each end of the label, though. To quote her: "By default, the label maker prints a wide margin to the left and to the right of the label, which uses a lot of additional label tape. If you go to Label - cut option - and select small margin, it will shrink this margin and save tape." However, be warned that the first label you print after making this change will have a long lead at the beginning, as will the first tape you print from a new cartridge. The small margin option will save you a TON of tape, though.

    Bought this for my mother in law because typing has become too difficult for her at age 90. She loves how the label maker allows her to address her bills and letters properly instead of her trying to work with a typewriter or pen, while suffering from arthritis. So far, it works great and I don't think it's worth all the fuss and effort to save tape by various tricks. We just use it and enjoy the benefits of easier living.

    We use this in our metal shop to label bins and bags and materials. It's one of those "Why didn't we get one of these before?" things. It's so nice being able to read things clearly from farther away, and have things be professional looking. We use it for all kinds of things, and while we don't use it every day, we use it often, and more and more often. Sometimes we just use the built in keyboard, but we keep it plugged into a laptop out on the production floor so we can make large groups of labels whenever we need to. Very handy.
