this printer works awesome i have never used one like this before took me literally 5 minutes to figure it out, never read the directions nothing i went by what this video showed me and i made all my labels with no problems i am very impressed with this label maker. i'm a gunsmith not into all this fancy label making but this label maker makes it so easy
Nice little tutorial. Thanks
Thank you so much for this. The tapes are so expensive and didn't last long, so this is fab. X
Thank you so much. I just purchased the PT-H103W & chain print is exactly what I was trying to figure out. Worked perfectly!
You're welcome....label on!
The chain print is for making parcel ribbons with a repeated print ie just for you just for you just for you etc. Select how many ‘copies’ of the phrase you want and it will print with a very small margin between each phrase.
Exactly how did it work perfectly when there is no "Esc" button on the PT-H103W?
In the video when she uses the escape button on the PT-H103W the BS (back space) button does the same thing.
Thank you!
I ran out of tape today because the spacing between words was too much , this been really helpful thanks
Thanks. Helpful tip!
Thank you for the tutorial.
Thank You! It worked after following along.
Thanks 🙏. Very informative and very clear. I needed this. I don’t mind cutting the extra on the left, since that can’t be adjusted.
So helpful, thanks so much
Excellent video
Very helpful thank you!!
Thanks for the info!
Does anybody know of a label maker that doesn't waste so much tape? All of these label makers appear to be the same as far as wasting tape.
This one is particularly bad. Dymo ones are better for sure.
@@okanaganvalleyvegan7051 I had a Dymo label maker and it printed right up close to the end of the tape. If I wanted more space I had could add it as I needed it. It finally gave out after about 12 years of use. They don't make that one anymore.
Helpful, thank you.
THANK YOU!!! I'm going to save 50% of my tape this way!!!
You're welcome...label on!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Try to save tape by narrowing the margin on the right, and it expands the margin on the left to ensure you can waste as much as possible (to buy tape more often, of course). I just bought the 110 and don't like this one bit. I'll be looking for another machine that doesn't screw you like this, even it it's a cheap no-name Chine-made.
Thank thanks 🙂
Great tutorial, thanks so much for saving me from having to read the manual
Thanks for this! And love your nails! 💅😁
Thank you
I don't want to waste on label when printing, how to print label exactly the length of the word?
In my opinion, they all waste similar amounts - you just choose to place it before, after or 1/2 at each end. But still better to set smallest margin width unless you need a set size
I could not figure out how to not press ok till I watched this. I love having the ability to chain print but I wish I could make multiple labels then print in chain all at once
Thank You! ^_^
Excelente video.
Thanks।
Is there a trouble shooting video? I am having trouble with it printing . The tape that's in there is fairly new. I had no problem with it last week. I pushed print and I could barely see the word.I've tried erasing it ( the word )and re- entering it, now it's just blank tape. I've had this for years and this is the first time I've had problem with it. Any help would be appreciated!
Does setting the Margin work when printing Cable ("flag") labels; or do Cable labels have a fixed Margin?
How do you center the words when you have 2 lines?
how do you take it off cable mode?
Before i maybe would have said that it is a bad design that makes it waste tape on the front...
But nowadays I'm sure that it's made like a this on purpose to make you waste more and more buy new tape faster..
I'm using dymo now, exactly same label on dymo are 50mm and about 75mm on brother.. So no matter of settings will waste way more tape. Sad but true.
Thank you so much for the video. Sis, between this machine and the other bigger model, which one you are prefer in term of value and tape saving?
I'm disappointed with the Brother brand it will ripped you off using 6 AAA batteries unless you buy adapter whereas Dymo uses 4 AA which is budget friendly
Hey Ivy. I'm coming from a DYMO label maker and I'm flabbergasted that I need to use scissors if I want narrow margins on the PT-H110. Do you happen to know how to use the PT-H110 with narrow margins without having to grab a pair of scissors? Do I pretty much just have to use the Full margin? Thanks and I appreciate the channel!
If you're looking for a narrow margin you will need to go to "Menu" and arrow until you see "Margins" and click "OK". Once you've done this you will see your options are Full (1"), Half (1/2") and Narrow (1/6"). For a narrow margin you'll want to arrow to "Narrow" and click "OK".
This will give you a 1/6" margin. However due to the internal cutter blade there will be a 1" tape leading your printed label in order for the label to pass the cutter blade per Brother.
In order to guarantee equal measurements on each side of your label, you will see a dotted line, if you cut along here this will guarantee equal sides.
I use the scissors trick if I'm printing a lot of labels, its the only tip I've found to help beat that cutter blade!
@@labelmaker having the same issue, but why on earth would they require that inch to "pass" the cutter blade? It's on the leading edge of the tape so as soon as the rest is printed it would be passing the blade. This extra lead is awful. I wish they would let us change it.
why is my black print on white tape showing up the opposite as that? Abd is there any way to print labels on like sticker paper or u really have to put tape over the labels once u put them on whatever ur using them for??
Hi there, thank you for the tip, but I am still getting a large amount of margins to the left. before the two dots Any idea how to get rid of this? Bye
Change your label length
Hernan, I’m getting that too. Were you able to figure?
'Here's how to continue wasting tape so we can sell you refills'
Hi Ivy, thanks for very clear and informative videos on the P-Touch! I bought the H110 recently and would like to know if I can interchange tapes and how to limit the tape feed waste during the process? For example, if I am busy printing on yellow tape and I want to switch over to white tape for something else. How would I go about doing this and without wasting tape? Thanks! Mari
Hi Mari - very easy, just open the back and remove the tape cassette - then install the tape cassette of the new color you wish to use...if you subscribed to our channel you'll see the PTD210 video series that has a video on adjusting margins. Hope this helps and happy labeling!
@@labelmaker Thanks Ivy! Yes, I have subscribed already. I'll check it out ;-)
The PT45 doesn't have that on the menu.
On a 4 letter word label you are wasting between 40 to 60% of tape. That´s insane!!!!!
Ridiculous that setting the margins at Narrow result in a useless leader that I then have to cut off. I wouldn't have bought the P-Touch if I'd known it was so wasteful of tape.
any suggestions for an alternative?
@@shableep unfortunately I don't know any. This just put me off.
I've been using Brother label printers for years and the ones with the older style cartridges never had this issue to this extent. Sure they had a bit of margin but this is ridiculous.
I just checked, the minimum required margins are double the size of the PT-65 and PT-85. So they literally made an inferior product to their older printers.
Yes. They could have designed this differently. I had a Dymo label maker and it printed close to the edge of the label. It finally quit on me. It was over 10 years old. I'll continue to use this label maker. But I will look around for another one that can print like how my old Dymo label printed.
hi, i did the chain print but i never got the feed ok? after printing...
Me neither! Did you ever figure it out?
Is this batt-operated or does tje unit include adaptor when you purchase it?
Batteries and AC Adaptor are sold separately.
paulo landin rasgando ingles! tankiou
My machine PT-400 keeps saying change the battery. All of the batteries are new and test Good. Any idea's?
I'd be curious if it works with the power adaptor....if so, fresh batteries should do the trick!
Have they made other models that don’t waste so much tape?
They seem to get more efficient but there will always be a little waste and there are great options for reducing it as well.
Can you reduce the total length of the lable aswell? I would need way smaller labels, like 1,5cm in length max.
Also, can this Printer take Tape that is already sticky ? Like, Tape you only had to Cut off and already be able to stick it to something without having to get rid off the foil first.
@@KifF2603 , No, that's not possible. Inside the machine, the tape passes between rollers, so a tape without backing paper would stick to those rollers, right?
Where in which market this instrument is available please(p-touch).
You can find it at: www.ptouchdirect.com/ptouch/new_pth110.html
I tried chain printing and it kept cutting a lot off, I ended a test with "NT :)" and it chopped off half the N and the rest of it and it would be added to next thing I printed.
Your video doesn’t cover the most important question: how to get rid of the wasted tape on the left and those annoying dots?
Chain print? The wasted start space has to be there. It's Borther's profit margin
The dots are because you set margins
Did you not listen to her multiple times say that the waste on the left has to be there?
@@stephenrobinson2279Did you not hear hear her say reduce waste? 🙄
@@HoneyBadgerClub you tagged the wrong person lol
I’ve been wanting to get a label printer for my small business for the longest time and finally pulled the trigger. I’m glad I did ! This machine is great ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxw55tQTywUAAOsbrlwxONZULry77sFF1Q and the blue/green color matches the rest of the accents in my office. My favorite part is how small the footprint is. It’s less than 1/4 the size of my regular printer.Set up was fairly easy. Seller will email you a link with video instructions Which I found to be more helpful than the written instructions. I use a Mac and had no issues. They even included an adaptor for USB to USB-c which is great because I’m always losing mine! I had a few issues getting the labels to print properly and wasted quite a few sheets. You need to play around with the settings to get everything adjusted just right. If you have the wrong settings, it’ll crop off the edges or feed through blank labels. These aren’t issues with the machine though, just user error.
Thank you!
Any Pth103w tips or videos
Not yet but hopefully coming soon - I think if you're subscribed it will notify when new videos come out.
If Brother figured where to print the two dots, then you know they could stop the tape so the blade would cat at those two dots - SO THEY WOULD STOP WASTING PAPER 100%. They're either incompetents or they figured the customers are fools.
The wasted tape is Brother's and the other scumbags' profit margin
It's not a profit margin, it's purposely designed this way to increase paper wastage and get you to buy more.
Actually, because of the lamination technology, there's a long distance from the printing head, up to the cutter. The waste is unavoidable since it has to push the text beyond the cutter.
Hmmm.🤔
So much waste on brothers labelers at the start of each label
Have to clear to the cutter...
2023 year and we still don't have a good device for labeling :(
Could you make another video that do baby step . Sometimes so confused what you are talking and doing at the same. Thank you .
Ridiculous. But thanks for showing us this wasteful crazyness.
Is that sticky tape?
YES!
What’s the font used here? It’s so cute!
The font was Helsinki with an outline Font Style.....label on!
Honestly, I appreciate the video, however there is STILL so much tape waste when you want to print one word. It's crazy that you might think people who think ahead to print many words at one time. Does that make sense? I'm going to try and find a better labelmaker where so much tape isn't wasted. Thanks anyway.
Agreed. It's a terrible design. Not only a waste of tape, but a waste of time because you have to cut every label before you use it.
Tap is wasting mor
You are suppose to wait until it stops printing before cutting the tape. Also, you would not be pulling on that tape while printing.
There no difference in space its all the same lenght on all cuts its just the words that re centered on first cut
Can anyone tell me what an inch is?
reach down and pull the waistband of your trousers out. Then look down.... Three of those equals 1 in
@@bobbing4snapples and 12 inches is a foot! I wonder if Americans realise that the Kilowatt (kW) is metric? or the 100metres race, or gigabytes, or liters, or 1000 dollars being a grand? or a 5k race - all METRIC! hahahaha Only three countries in the world exclusively use the imperial system as their system of measurement: United States, Myanmar and Liberia. Then there's something called Fahrenheit - used by the United States, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Belize, British Virgin Islands and Bermuda. USA is in such good company hahahaha
Wth is a inch? Incha?
12mm
@@labelmaker Erm, an _inch_ = 25.4 mm; 12 mm = _half_ an inch!
So your not actually saving anything
by chain printing you are saving a literal .94 inch on every label versus printing one at a time.
Absolute scam artists these printer companies.
This thing is FUCKING BRUTAL for tape waste. What a joke. Would not buy again. You’re literally throwing tape jn the garbage.
12 words and you waste a 1' of tape. Scam artists Brother is.
What a waste of tape, brother obviously can't design
As a member of the P-touch community I can not imagine the audacity that it takes to release such a video to the public. How could you talk such negativity towards the elusive PTH110? I have a small collection of these (STILL IN BOX :) ) from the first production run back in 2013 that I plan on giving to my three grandchildren whenever they turn 18. The PTH110 has been a long time staple for its ease of use and support for emojis. HOW DARE YOU speak badly on this device. I do not like to throw out harsh insults, but only a Nazi would ever speak on the PTH110 in this way.
Thanks
Dearest Karen, Just a quick question... What video were you watching? Just to make sure I was on the same page or should I say video here, I had some educator friends of mine have a quick watch. We all came to the same conclusion that the video was helpful, informative and an all around pleasant experience suitable for all ages. There was no maligning of the labeler or the manufacturer at all. The only thing that was found offensive, inappropriate and quite honestly completely unhinged was your comment. As a Jew, I especially find your "Only a Nazi would ever speak on a..." utterly offensive and inappropriate. My grandmother was one of the few that survived Auschwitz and her sister survived Dachau. The rest of her siblings 3 brothers and 2 more sisters along with her mother, father and grandparents weren't so lucky. Last time I checked there was no mention of any P-touch labeler receiving a yellow, red, green, purple or pink badge to wear and sent to a concentration camp!
And finally just a friendly suggestion here...Lay off that "Karen kool-aid" and have a check-up because that blood pressure of yours must be through the roof!
Won’t subscribe…you talk too fast when explaining
