Technology is obsolete 90's era. Died after 6 months light use. Mar 16, 2012
By Tech Test Pilot BROTHER PT-9600 P-TOUCH PRO-XL
NO WAY IN H*LL IS THIS WORTH $350.00!!!
I bought this on Amazon six months ago. The purpose was to affix labeling stickers to powder coated sheet metal covers that went over electronic equipment. This unit has died on me after six months of light use.
The lighted screen display is old 90's style electric typewriter I had in the early 1990's for college. Laughable. Difficult to read and difficult to hit a ton of keys to get where you want to go on the display.
Formatting the size of fonts and other features was very cumbersome and often failed to retain the font size in the memory feature. It wouldn't print, saying the font was too large to print. I would have to "code" (blue button sort of like the CTRL button on a keyboard) then "format/block" to downsize it every time.
You waste an entire roll of adhesive tape before you get the right size and layout to come out.
It takes about 15-20 long seconds for the print to acknowledge then fully release 5" of adhesive tape.
The Adhesive Tape! Now there are some claims that Brother simply LIES LIES LIES about. They have a "Strong Adhesive" brand that says it will stick to almost anything in HOT or COLD temperatures. My application was perfectly within those parameters of adhering; powder coated flat smooth sheet metal. Well guess what? My items are stored in the cold. They began to bubble little tiny bubbles. The adhesives failed. I fully cleaned the metal surface and made sure the surface was warm before applying. This tape is a total joke. I used tape bought from Staples, Office Depot and Amazon. All failed over the winter. It is very easy to take your fingernail and peel off the tape.
I strongly urge you to find another brand. I spent a month looking for real industrial tape machines without success. So many garbage websites. I see some amazing looking adhesive tapes on the products I work with, but cannot figure out who makes them!!! If you know, leave a comment. Thanks!

Just bought a second one Aug 24, 2007
By Stephen Sarrica We use the PT-9600 at work to label everything. We've had one unit for a couple of years and just picked up a second one because the first is in such high demand.
