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.

...is a range of tape options (all supplied separately by the manufacturer), which allow the printing of black graphics and text on white, red, yellow, green and transparent coloured backgrounds.
