 Brother PT1280 Electronic Labeling System Review December 24, 2008
Nancy Robbins (raleigh nc)
It is a very good product and it is very useful. However, it wastes entirely too much tape. It is just ridiculous at the space that is left at each end of the tape. I bought this to use for so many things but then when I realized how much tape would be wasted I realized it would only be used for specific projects. Otherwise I really like it.
 AC Adaptor scam December 1, 2008
Hari S. Narayanan (Basking Ridge, NJ)
I understand that I did not check out if this came with an AC adaptor. However, to price an adaptor [...] more than that of the product itself [...] does not seem correct. You are better off paying for a higher end model that comes with an adaptor. Atleast you get more features for your money.
 Terrible Product November 19, 2008
Concerned Labeler (Seattle, WA, USA)

This all started when I wanted to get a labeler to get more organized. I started with the Brother P-Touch PT-80 which worked as advertised, but ate batteries so fast that I couldn't keep up with it. I eventually had a friend take it apart and solder a plug so that it runs from the wall power (used a plug that you can change the voltage on it, like you find at Radio Shack).
When the time came to get another labeler for my office, I decided to try this model (PT-1280) since it came with the option for a wall plug.
This product is so terrible that I would rather buy another PT-80 and take that one apart to make it run off a wall plug. That is how bad this product is - I'd rather void the warranty of another device than use this out-of-the-box junk.
The main issue is that by default this device does not print labels correctly within the margins. All research seems to point that you need to reset your margins and text size every time you want to print. When a device can't seem to do even its basic function correctly, it's time to look for another device.
Brother should be embarrassed that this product is still being sold with their name on it. I've started using some tape and a marker instead of picking up this labeler.
If you are looking for an easy solution, this is not the product for you. Pick another company or at least a different Brother product.
Do Not Waste Your Money! November 5, 2008
blueyes087
If I could give this labeler negative stars, I would. It is a money waster. Every time you print a label, it wastes 2 inches of label tape on either side and you have to end up cutting the excess off. The label tape is very expensive and the labeler continously wastes it! Please consider another labeler because you will hate making labels with this one!
