PT-CUBE
Apps and labels, oh my!…

I am a homeschooling mum of four and as someone who loves to tidy and organise, I was eager to receive my P-touch cube label and ribbon printer. I’ve previously owned a competitors handheld label maker but admittedly it wasn’t the best and so I was intrigued to see what Brother had to offer. Upon opening and unboxing, I was first wowed by its unconventional ‘cube’ like design. On the box it states that it’s operated via an app so there’s an absence of any kind of keypad or buttons, other than the power on/off button. It’s sleek design makes it very eye catching and inconspicuous at the same time. One cannot tell just by looking at it that it’s a printer, let alone one for labels and I like that, it can sit with the rest of our computer tech without looking odd. The app itself was very easily to download off the QR code that was included, and within seconds we were able to start printing. The device itself didn’t come with a charging wire but it does take AAA batteries and it does have a charing port, I think any standard 9v charger would do the job but it’s for this reason I’ve knocked off a point, who wants to run out of battery in the middle of organising?! that would frustrate me so much.
I’m currently homeschooling my elder three and do we have many folders, books, stationary etc and it all needs labelling to prevent fights! This tiny but might printer made light work of it all. It offers a massive choice of different fonts, you can use different types and widths of tapes depending on what you need. The only thing I really didn’t like was the amount if label that gets wasted on a single print, in my opinion there’s no need to have so much excess on either side that you will have to trim off yourself. It makes having a cutter in the machine a bit pointless.
Overall I would say it’s a very good label maker, it has a couple of snags but is way better and more innovative than my previous label maker. It’s a thumbs up from me and my kids!
