considering the PT-P700 to print hundreds of mailbox numbers to be affixed to outside mailboxes. Good idea or bad idea? If ok idea, which tape? R

I haver never made labels for outdoor use. I am sure there must be specific tapes made for outdoor use. The PT-700 can readily handle your project. It is an excellent label printer for the money.

The Brother TZ/TZe tapes (which this model uses) are rated for outdoor use & laminated: &lt;http://www.brother-usa.com/supplies/tape-labels/adhesive.aspx&gt;. Brother also offers "extra strength" versions of some TZe tapes: &lt;http://www.brother-usa.com/supplies/tape-labels/durable.aspx&gt;.

You do realize that this labeler only works connected to a PC? It sounds like a daunting task to me, but doable. Tape size would depend on how large you wanted the numbers to be. (Just peeling the backing and sticking on "hundreds of numbers" makes me tired!) I can attest to the labels holding up well outside--I use mine for garden labels.

I bought the tape for my husband, and he is using for different purposes. Why not test it out on an old frame? Joyce

I bought one yesterday. Will post a review in a few days once I have tried everything out. So far, works fine out the box printing from a camera memory card. If price is everything to you, get an iP6600D at the closeout price.

I have only used this to make outdoor posters for lost cats, but found that the ink runs... it isn't as 'weatherproof' as touted. Can you use a label maker instead?

I don't use the Dymo to print postage (either size), 'cause I generate the 4 X 6 labels for Paypal with postage affixed there. You can use the Dymo, it is all a matter of preference and ease of use. The interface between eBay, Paypal, and the USPS has me lost from time to time. As a consequence, I find it easier to collect the data from eBay and then generate the data into a USPS 4 X 6 label. But I LOVE my Dymo dual-label printer!!!! Beside the mailing labels, I tag all sorts of stuff around the home and office, including bar coding of some inventory stuff. Just don't make a copy of the label on a copy machine as the thermal-sensitive label will turn black! hope this helps, mike michaelson in medford oregon

I am running Windows 8.1. I used Printmaster to make invitations, place cards, and to address envelopes for a wedding reception. It worked very well, even though it did lock up a few times, causing me to have to restart my computer. So, not perfect, but workable.

Can you also use the auto duplex feature with 5x7 photo prints? I am needing to print double sided invitations on special cardstock and was wondering if I should by normal letter size & cut out or if I was able to just do 5x7 double sided photo paper. Thanks so much in advance!

Yes I think this would work and as already mentioned, it doesn't yellow or crack easily as it is conservation standard. The only thing is that this tape is going to be a bit thicker then normal tape, so you will have to make your folds carefully and plan them etc as this tape will make them a bit more 'bulky', but I would think it may be worth it for the longevity it should add to the maps.

Sorry, I am unable to advise. I found the tape useless for the job I bought it for.Regards,David

I have a Brother P-touch Home & Hobby III label maker. It has "M tape" written on the front of the label machine. The M series tapes work in my machine. If you kept your original tape cartridge, the label on the side might say M series. If it does you can use standard M series tapes. Just make sure you measure the width of your current tape to the one you are ordering. It gets confusing sometimes for this replacement part. Good luck!

I ended up with the MP620. It seems okay so far, but I really have not done much with it yet...just printed out a few regular pages. Haven't tried the scanner, copier , or photo printing yet. Keep on meaning to , but just haven't yet....I will try some of these things in the next few days and send another reply if that will help. One thing, it said "quick start" and it doesn't seem to be very quick, but there may be some setting I have to change for that and I've pretty much just been turning it on and clicking print....

It would work fine, but the cost of ink would probably outweigh the benefit of the fast printing. Ink tanks are small. I would recommend you print postcards at: (cheap, fast, and good quality):http://www.psprint.com/affiliate/index.asp?offer=219&affiliate;=CD1751

I use a PT brother label maker, black on clear. IF you purchase a really old model you can buy one for about 10 bucks on ebay or the such. I don't need all the gizmos on a newer model. I use the labeler all the time.

The packaging for the M231 replacement tape states that it is an "M" tape which are compatible with P-touch labelers. I have a PT 90. According to Amazon's web site the PT 70 uses 3/8" and 1/2 inch M tapes so the M231 1/2 inch replacement tape would be compatible with the PT 70

It's not based on tape. It's more like you cut it to how much you need. Which is a bummer as well. But try it out ? Make it work like I did.

Hi! It has worked perfectly to me so far.. I had never used it to print labels.
