Disappointed that this label maker wastes an inch every print.

I can afford the tapes .... but even I have to agree it is EXCESSIVE WASTE and the new

Downfall is amount of tape wasted before and after printed words... entirely too much waste!!

My second issues is how much of the label tape this thing wastes every label

The label maker is great in terms of label making but the waste of label tape is excessive

Instead of making better and better label makers, Brother is regressing .From tape waste to the maximum label size of only 12 mm (less than 1/2 ") - this label has so many limitations that I would name it the worst Brother label maker ever made

Main issue with this unit is the excessive wasting of tape.

The one big glaring issue is waste (but before and after) is waste.

In some reviews, people complained this great product wastes too much tape

I like everything about it, but even when you change the settings to make the margins smaller, it still prints out unnecessary blank label, so its wasting some of the label tape

it does a lot of unnecessary waste

It worked as a printer, but there was UNACCEPTABLE waste of tape with each and every label.

When will Brother quit with the blatant waste of an inch of tape either side of each label?

At the cost of these label tapes, this waste is not satisfactory to me.

The inescapable wasting of label tape is inexcusable, it is the year 2017, get it

Seems like alot of the tape gets wasted

So far, works as it should.

Still prints, just irritating that it doesn't cut as clean as it did after the first month of use.

Some people complain about wasting a

Yes it could not waste as

This guy is as effective as those we use in production, and still prints faster than most

I bought batteries which will be fine as long as they don't drain after only a few uses

Other than that it works as you might expect a label maker to work

works as I thought it would.

Works as you'd expect but definitely does go through tape quickly

Works as it should, mostly.
