Brother P-touch Design&Print 2 Reviews

I luv the way BrotherPtouchDesignPrint2 and labeler work together. I don’t usually have any luck with label apps but this is wonderful. I selected the file tab template for teeny labels and BrotherPtouchDesignPrint2 resizes your text to fit the template making it easy to try different abbreviations and keep the type large enough to see. The variations of templates is wide too. Great!!

There are a lot of design options, but the basic user interface has been overlooked. Options like “cut last label” that should be a simple check box on the main print screen, take three clicks to get to. And if you forget what it was set to the last time you used it, you have to drill down to check it every time.

I wish there was a setting for printing multiple labels.

The label maker works fine, although it does waste an inch of tape each time you print a label. That seems like a design flaw they should have fixed a long time ago. My biggest annoyance is that there is no landscape support, so it means closing up the Apple keyboard each time I print labels. This is something that I wish the developers would fix.

My P-touch label maker is great, but the updated app just blew my mind!

I updated to the new app, was immediately able to link and make some new labels, and saw the applications for making labels for my digital cords, memory sticks, etc. Nothing lately has been this smooth & effortless.

I was impressed!

This machine works like a champ. The Bluetooth connection and the chargeable battery are outstanding. I really like the fact it will print 1.5 inch labels. Pay the extra money and forgo others.

BrotherPtouchDesignPrint2 works well enough, but a couple things keep it from getting a 5. First, it’s actually jarring in 2021 that BrotherPtouchDesignPrint2 isn’t wysiwyg when adding text. It should handle the blocks transparent to the user. Second, I know you make money selling tape, but an inch? Do better. Half that would be fine.

I love the Bluetooth ability and the charger. I love that I don’t have to use 6 batteries. I would like it if you had a list, such as 40 spice, to print you could pull from the list and have them cut between each name without having a 1in waist of tape each time. So, that means when I need to print out 40 spices I’m waisting 40 inches of tape (over 3 ft).

C’mon, y’all. By version 2, you’d think BrotherPtouchDesignPrint2 would be iPad-aware and rotate with the orientation of the device (thus allowing me to use an attached keyboard). Makes me less inclined to pull out the label maker, thus less inclined to use up consumables, thus reducing your revenue stream. Please ponder that one...

The old app had more options for frames that are missing from the new app. I also wish there were more fonts. Otherwise it is very easy to use with the PTouch Cube. It’s nice to be able to label everything easily!

I use this with a tablet with keyboard and wish it would use landscape the whole time. Not just when you get to the edit mode. At least it now uses my keyboard.

BrotherPtouchDesignPrint2 creates huge blank spaces inside the frames before and after text creating much larger labels than necessary. The previous app didn’t force so much wasted space. Thankfully, I didn’t delete the older app and can still use it, for the time being.

The only thing that seems to be missing is the option to add plan text to QRCodes that are generated. Wish the option would be added allowing you to input raw text.

These days, everything comes with an UBS cord. And try as hard as I could, I was continuously searching for the right cord. That was until the P-Touch Cube came into my life. Now, all cords are labeled and life is good.

Wish there were symbols like arrows and other items similar to that available to augment the fonts.

I really love this for the work I do. It’s convenient to print labels for my organizing jobs.

So I am not sorry I got this label maker but it annoys me that I have to connect the maker to BrotherPtouchDesignPrint2 every single time I use BrotherPtouchDesignPrint2 . Otherwise very happy!

Love having the ability to label things to better organize my life!

Don’t buy it. You’ll be typing then go to print but phone can’t find printer…continuously looking for connection. Then you have to stop and restart connection. My previous one was manual. Never had issues for many years of use.

Easy to use and fast. Not great on iPad. It can’t decide if it should be in portrait or landscape on screen. It does waste a lot of tape. One inch with every print. Can’t imagine why??

Very useful for home and work

I deleted app and reverted to older version

Prints blanks before actual label. Waste of $$$
