It’s a sickness for someone like me. My baking cupboard is chock full of labeled Tupperware containers, my laundry shelves and pantry are similarly stocked like an OCD’s (or retail merchandiser’s) dream. But I did it all without the help of a Brother P-Touch PT-1290.
You? You don’t have to, dear pet.
Check this bad boy out:
Part of the “Simply Stylish” line of P-touch products, the PT-1290 is perfect for all your home office labeling applications. With its sleek design, the PT-1290 will blend nicely with virtually any home office décor.
Features an easy-view 15-character LCD display, typewriter style keyboard and Auto Tape Detection feature that automatically recognizes the size of the installed tape cassette and adjusts the text to fit the label width. A dedicated “Deco Mode” key gives you easy access to 15, unique pre-designed label formats for creating decorative labels – including professional layouts that accommodate 2 rows of text. Easily switch between 2 fonts – with the touch of a button. Use the built-in memory to store up to 9 of your most frequently used labels. More Info…
