This is a versatile, well-made unit useful for a myriad of labeling functions. I keep discovering new uses for the many sizes, styles, etc. of labels. Further, the ability to use either battery or external AC power adds to the versatility.

This is a small product and is easy to use. It was a good price as well.

I thought being able to connect this to my MacBook would make it possible to create these awesome labels. It’s just a regular label maker with a color screen.

Pros out way the cons: the screen is not only colorful, it has a feature that shows what your about to print and the color of tape! They have a good customer service. I was missing the cable flags. They showed me that was still there, but moved to the labels. They are friendly and get your answers qickly and thoroughly and that was very helpful!

The hardware works nearly perfectly. I do get tired of losing 3/4″ of tape for every label I print but I can just print multiple labels at a time to prevent that. I am not fond of the 6″ limit and lose out on some “fancy features”. Sure would be handy to have a “cut” button for when the tape does not cut when it is done printing. Then there is the PTouch software (Mac version) which can do some things the hardware alone cannot. BUT it is buggy and not everything works as advertised. The pesky 6″ limit can occasionally be overcome; The cursor keys do not always work; Text editing is hit or miss; Select All sometimes does not. Overall I like it, and am learning to work around the limits. I am quite happy I bought it.

This is my fourth & FINAL label maker because I have found label maker peace. This is exactly what I wanted. It has an a/c adapter (that comes with it!) A USB connection (with cable in the box!) More symbols, images and frames than I will probably ever need. Updatable Plus any font I want (when used with my PC) Wide & thin tapes… All around perfection.

I’d had a regular old label.maker for years. But when I bought the PTD-600, WOW! What an upgrade. I’m thrilled with the many different sizes of tape I can use. It’s so very easy.

I use this printer via my computer, and it works great!

The system is somewhat better than the Brother Labeler it replaces, but… This labeler never ejects the tape, regardless of what width tape is used, the label just wads up in the machine, and has to be opened to get the label out. Never had this problem with any of the other Brother Labelers I’ve owned (several) Display is great, and seems it will print any font you have on your computer when using that great feature.

It is very useful and good product. I have made beautiful labels with it.

Even though the Brother web site says this printer is compatible with Big Sur, as of 11/20/20 it is not. The PT Touch editor will not run on Big Sur (it quits upon use). While Brother is aware of this issue the support people do not have a clue.

Easy to use. The labels stick well to surfaces. Great value.

It won’t take my old tapes so i sent it back.I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS.

I think it would be hard to figure out how to do most of the options using the keyboard alone, although it should be easy to do basic labels from the keyboard. I use the Windows software and that is really very good.

The PT-D600 is the replacement I chose for a failed PT-1230pc I have been using for years. I need a printer that can be programmed on a PC and the ‘600 has that capability and so much more. I like that it can accommodate a variety of size tapes. I like that it can use graphics also. I have not used the built in keyboard, but it does add the option that the ‘1230 did not. Overall I am quite satisfied with new printer.

This is a replacement for another Brother product. I have not used it extensivelly yet but so far it appears to be a good machine

Good product! Very reliable. I use it for basic labels at my home office.
Prudence Hodkiewicz (verified owner) –
I like the P-Touch output – it’s clear, fast, and easy to read. I prefer using the Windows app to the native keyboard. The one thing I don’t like is how much tape it wastes advancing the initial cut off for each label and I can’t see how to reduce or eliminate that.

Brother Employee & Product Owner: I’ve had my Brother PT-D600 for years now, and I couldn’t be happier with it. I knew there might be one or two things I could use it for when I got one, but having it in my kitchen or home office (it floats between the two) keeps it top-of-mind for lots of projects I would never have thought of. I love to bake and make candy and have it out when I host friends and bring it to the office or to family events. I use my P-touch to name my creations and list out key ingredients, to know what flavor profile to expect, and to ensure anyone with allergies knows whether to partake or stay away. I’m constantly changing up the fonts and frames and adding symbols – everyone knows to expect that from my treats by now. For organizing my workspace, this model is great for me because it can also connect to the computer. I use the keyboard 90% of the time, but now and again there’s a certain image/logo I’m thinking of, or I want to feed off of an existing data set without recreating it manually, and connecting the USB cord makes that easily accomplished. It’s also great that this one goes up to an inch in width, so I can add a few lines of text at a time, or just have big bold images/words. I recommend this model for anyone who wants the greatest versatility in where it’s being used, what’s being labeled, and what design options you’ll need!

I like the variety of label styles that can be designed, especially with the computer based editor software. I dislike the auto cut feature. I REALLY dislike that it wastes expensive tape by spitting-out an inch of unprinted tape between each printed label. Wasteful and expensive.
