Does it waste about 1" blank tape that is cut off before it begins to print any label?

Read The Manual: The space between labels is adjustable. Choose 25mm, 12mm, or 4mm.

definately wastes both tape front and end of printing; tricky to learn how to resize "font", limited selections of font size; other than these two faults - it does a reasonable job

Actually it is worse than that. You lose 1" in front, and 1" trailer if you print a single label.

That's it. You get a big lead and a big end. That's how they make their money. Kind of like printer companies make on selling ink. The ink costs almost as much as the printer. I usually try to print a bunch of labels at the same time and put about 3 spaces between each label before I cut them off.

Isn't there a way to limit the amount trailing type like these is on their older machines??

I don't think so. What I usually do is print a regular small label and then paste it onto the 4X6...

My guess is it would leave marks behind. I have yet to use the tape because of that.

The first length of tape doesn't have a separable backing, but you can cut off that length and use the rest of the tape as normal. The roll is double-sided and ready to go, with no backing to remove along the way (unlike some scrapbooking tapes, photo squares, etc). So, throw away the first bit and enjoy!

The tape cartridge I ordered does NOT work on the label maker I have.....they sent me the wrong tape cartridge for my machine......so, really can't answer the question, other than I won't order from Amazon again for this type of purchase.....John Bonney

Yes, the only caution would be the label size as the label printer software has pre-set sizes.

It does not have an automatic cutter. Perforated labels are manually tore off after printing.

Yes it can print multi-line labels. For 1/2 inch tape it can print two lines.

I forgot to tell you that you can choose the size of the tape you will be printing on. When the label maker is on press the menu button twice then press OK then press the arrows to scroll to the size tape that you have installed. The choices are 1/4. 3/8, and 1/2. All for now

Revision: Yes, split backing is available at this tape. (My wife just confirmed, sorry for mis-info.)My wife shown me once and the tape doesn't have split backing. It's a one-piece long tape, best to gather whatever you want to print and make space between then print (Ours label printer model is Brother P-touch 1100L). If you print your label one by one then it will waste a lot of tape, because the empty space (about 1/4 - 1/2 inch) at the head and tail of each print is hard-coded and no way to adjust it.

Yes it will print 2 lines on the 1/2 in tape that comes with it. You have to use a smaller font (I think 8-12 pt is all it will let you use) but it does work!

In the full version of the software (free from their site) there is an option to print about 6 feet continuously. But if you're doing one label at a time there will be waste.

Impossible to answer: YOUR label can vary depending on how big YOU make it. If you make a lot of larger labels with large margins, you will get fewer labels!

Mine does not have a blank message space. I did perform a quick experiment: a piece of 1" masking tape will easily attach to the bottom of the stamper and prevent the message from printing, allowing only the date to print. I bought mine in 2011 and it goes to 2016, so I presume the stamper will go 5 years beyond whatever year you buy it in (this seems typical of most year stampers).

This label maker uses labels. TZ, I believe. Available in at least two widths. BTW, find the setting that allows small margins, by default the label maker has a long lead and tail of waste.

It does leave a space on each end. But if you are printing a bunch of labels at the same time, like repeats of the same name, etc. I just type it in as one long tape, adding spaces where I want them, then print it as one long tape and use scissors to cut the tapes apart. I hope that makes sense.

The actual labels are separate from each other, you just peel one off at a time, but the backing is not perforated. It's one solid piece and you would probably ruin the labels if you tried to split them. I have had no problem though with just printing one label, using it, and then coming back to print on the other one later. Hope this helps.
