Brother P-touch 2100VP

Zitat: This is a highly versatile label printer, which can be used on its own to produce a wide range of durable, high-visibility labels or connected to a PC to make use of the well-designed label editor. Print costs are comparable with the competition, though the tape wastage is annoying.

Zitat: What the P-Touch 2100 does highlight, is that with some inventive thought, a simple application like labelling can be given extra purpose, through clever design of both the device and controlling software. Indeed, this is an extremely versatile, self-contained label printer, which can produce a variety of ornate and specialist labels, as well a bog-standard names and warnings. The PC-based software is excellent and extends the printer’s feature set. However, it’s wasteful of tape, which exacerbates the consumable cost.

Zitat: It´s very easy to think of uses for this printer, apart from the obvious labelling of files, jars and boxes. The labels it produces are easy to read and durable, though Brother remains vague on times and standards used in producing its claims. The PC software is very versatile and nearly all the functions can also be reproduced in standalone mode, even battery operated, though it may take a few more menus to get there. At around £75, it´s quite a bargain.
