Review of Brother P-Touch 65 by
Torombolina
Advantages: Small, easy, Prints look nice
Disadvantages: Maybe the price
...my newest labeling system, the brother P-Touch (PT-65) 65. I bought it in Germany for about 30 Euro (40 Dollars, I do not know the currency rate into GBP). The labels produced by this system are very clear on its paper/label. You certainly want to know how to print and produce the label, don't you? Ok, here comes the answer:
First of all, you must unsert six AA alkaline batteries in the back of the machine. After that you may want to insert the ... ...Afterwards, you may turn on the PT65 by pressing the ON/OFF button on the front of the machine. Now you can enter a text with a maximum of 55 characters and when finished you just press PRINT and the label is being printed. To cut off the printed label, simply press the violet botton on the left hand side of the machine. Furthermore, you may want to peel off the back of the label.
The machine can produce labels in the following ways:
in CAPS, with ...

Oh Brother, where art thou labels!
Review of Brother P-Touch 2100VP by
andycharger
Advantages: Lots of extra functions, nice carry case
Disadvantages: mains operated, expensive
...Dymo and opted for the Brother P-Touch 2100VP.
Firstly, the Brother label printer comes in a handy carry case. Great for carting it around the office. Inside the rigid grey plastic case is the printer itself, its power supply and spare labelling reams.
Possibly its only shortcoming is the Dymo was quicker and easier to use as it was battery powered and therefore did not require plugging in for a quick one off label.
One massive advantage with ... ...printer i have seen. Definitely worth a purchase if looking for one.
Manufacturer support is also very good and the brother website has plenty of info regarding user manuals and instructions when configuring the machine. The included manual is more than enough to get you up and running initially though. ...

HP 7260
Review of HP PhotoSmart 7260 by
makro74
Advantages: Excellent quick printing, photos just add icing on the cake
Disadvantages: Paper jams for drafts
...relatively quick speed (depending on settings). But beware of using draft prints as this for some reason causes the printer to jam or crumple through the process. Ink catridges suprisingly outlast any other inkjet I have owned. HP 56, 57, 58 are used in this machine. ...

Great budget printer.
Review of Canon PIXMA IP1800 by
pdmg
Advantages: Excellent text
Disadvantages: No letter tray!
...on my previous experience of Canon printers - I opted for a Pixima with FINE technology. I already have a very good photo printer in the shape of the Epson R800, and an Epson 830U which I use for rough drafts as it is on it's last legs. Fact is, I needed a printer to print decent quality letters and the odd mixed text and image sheet. I previously used an old Canon S520 but it finally gave up the ghost, and I have to say the i1800 - at about a quarter ... ...capable machine.
It prints in various modes (high, standard, draft and custom) and in high quality mode, the text is as good as any printer I've seen. It's not fast though, so if you print a lot of text you may want to look at a laser. Printing tecxt over colour (a sample web page) was not so hot, but I don't really care!
Photo printing is acceptable, though I didn't buy it for that purpose and only printed one quick pic to get an idea. I imagine ...

Review of Lexmark Z 645 by
curious_k
Advantages: cheap, good for black ink, easy to buy cartridges, "low ink" warning
Disadvantages: annoying software, not so good for colour printing or high quality stuff
...this option from within the Lexmark options screen (via Control Panel), unless you like to hear "Printing started!" in chirpy American every time you press print.
Usefully, it'll monitor ink levels and warn you when they get low, with a link to the supplier's website. I get good results generally with black ink, variable with colour (sometimes either the blue or red ink seems to 'cut out'). Occasionally pulls in the paper at a wonky angle, say 1 ...
