Great label maker with huge possibilites
Date:April 30, 2013

Can put amazing things on a label. Using the computer you can create really artistic things to use for your labeling needs. My only gripe is the unit runs out 1 inch of tape, cuts it off, then prints your label. I waste a lot of tape for no good reason that I can see. It really rubs my thrifty side the wrong way.

Excellent Portable Label Maker
Date:April 16, 2013
By TheSecurityCam

I don't waste my time giving reviews, but I am so happy with the printer and the software that I have installed on XP and Windows 8 laptops. The only negative is that you do not offer a travel case for this model.

PT-2430PC great for inventory control
Date:February 22, 2013
By CTEadmin
This is a great little bar code printer. We are labeling merchandise in inventory with our SKU. Not only can we include some text on items but our company logo on the tag too.
So we can scan the tags for inventory counts and have some advertising on the boxes when we send out merchandise.

Great Tool

By Kittyb

Simple to use, helps all files to be easily identified. Will be a pleasure in the future to look - not search for a file. Have used in kitchen to label containers in pantry. Love this label maker.

Love It
Date:January 29, 2013
By Alanturn
It's a great product helped me to organize my life. My files are clearly labeled along with other important items. The only thing I don't like is how it will waste a half of a inch of tape before it prints. Otherwise it is the best. BUY IT!!!

Great value in a low cost labeler
Date:January 27, 2013
By gearchecker
from Coeur d'Alene, ID
I purchased this printer to replace an older model that isn't Windows 8 compatible. Installation was a snap. Since I upgraded to Windows 8 it was necessary to get a new labeler.. The Windows 8 driver had to be downloaded, and the program as well, but it only took about 5 minutes to have everything running perfectly. For me the biggest feature is being able to use wider tape, and different color tapes as well. The software has plenty of add-ins with cool graphics to keep label making fun!

I have had nothing but issues with Brother. From disconnects to sales, to spam flooding my email after registering my product. I like the product, but your customer service director should be working for Denny's

PT-2430PC Evaluation
Date:January 10, 2013
By Waltf
from Apalachin, New York
The labeler works fine. I had no trouble connecting it to my computer. It interface with my computer and worked properly before I downloaded the software. After loading the software the unit still worked properly. I feel it is a well made labeler. Note I also have three Brother printers that work fine.

OK but lacking
Date:December 30, 2012
By Sedgewick
from Cary, NC
Easy to use for basic labels. Originally purchased to replace Brother PT2610 since that is NOT supported on Widows 7. Unfortunately the 2430 will NOT print AV labels which was the main use for the 2610. Also, Ptouch 5.0 editor has many fewer predefined labels than the old 4.3 version.

Pretty Pleasing To Work With
Date:December 28, 2012
By DawnG
from Arizona
We were really impressed with the ease of using this product. The software makes it simple. I only have two complaints....
1) There is so much waste of tape when we only need to make one or two
2) On occasion the quality of the text looks extremely pixel-y and sometimes so bad that I have to redo the label....which is more waste. I hope the designers can figure out what causes this drop in quality and fix it for future upgrades.
Overall a pretty darn nice product....

Easy labels
Date:December 28, 2012
By jaskcs
from Springfield IL
Have been using the PT-2430pc label printer for some time now to print all labels for a scientific instrument. I can quickly locate my label templates and make quick updates before printing. I use several tapes sizes and colors. Swapping tape cartridges is fast and there is minimal material waste. Very readable and durable labels.

A Five Star Purchase
Date:December 26, 2012
By ImagemakerRob
from Philadelphia, PA
I use my PT-2430PC to label many kinds of items. I use the flexible labels for labeling wires and cables connected to my computers and other electronics equipment. I use the acid free labels for labeling the envelops that hold my family films archives. I use the extra adhesive labels for labeling parts and hardware bottles. I use the laminated labels for labeling everything else. I am very satisfied with my PT-2430PC and the various types and sizes of labels Brother makes for use with the PT-2430PC.
