does it leave alot of blank space at the front &amp; end of the label when printing? (thus wasting expensive tape) or does it print/cut close to the edge?

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.

An option was given to me when printing the label - print with or without receipt. I chose to print without receipt. You also can choose whether to print the left side or the right side - which is confusing since the paper is not landscape but vertical. I print left side, and then it always prints the first label. Turn the paper around to print the next when you need it. I hope this helps....Dona

To my knowledge, the only way to do that is to not select (uncheck) the print summary option, which will print the shipping label on one half of the sheet and leave the other blank. To use the other remaining label on the sheet, run the page through the printer again. Important: you must leave the backing (the waxy sheet the labels are stuck to) intact for this method to work!

I have printed on 8 1/2 inch label sheets--works well, they've never jammed. I have not used the printer for card stock as of yet.

Amazon.com gives you the opportunity when doing postage to choose the left or right side to print upon. Choose one or the other to have it print on only half of the sheet. Then when I'm doing my next pkg, I put the the label paper (with one label still left) back into my printer and (in my case and my printer), I ask for the right side. You'll need to practice with your printer and plain paper to see what works best for you.

I went to their website and used their label printing wizard tool thing, typing out what we wanted the labels to say. I then printed to a laser printer right from the website tool. Then I did the same thing for the backside so the labels were printed front and back. Oh, Before I printed the actual label I printed to a blank sheet of paper to make sure the orientation and alignment were right, and I had to make small adjustments on the first side to make it print where I wanted (centered basically). So definitely do a test run first. Hope that helps!

The labels themselves are not perforated. The waxy backing paper is perforated. There is a small space of about 1/8 of an inch between each individual label on the backing paper.

I did a test with my scanner and yes there is some edge problems on my unit: 1/16" on top, 1/4" on the bottom and 1/8" on the sides are missing if you scan all the way to the edge. So to be safe, leave about 1/4" from the edge to be sure to get the whole photo or print. It's really a nice scanner other than that!

To the best of my knowledge this labeling machine only takes one size of tape and the specifics about that should be with the product description. The print size can be adjusted up or down to make the print fit into the length of tape you need.

Not including the curved lip you have about 15 inches from left to right and about 19 inches from front to back. I have a commercial label printer on top of the file cabinet. The printer is larger than the file cabinet and it works out pretty well. It's a sturdy file cabinet.

It does but you will have to tweek the printing format a little to get it to fit on the label

yes there is a thin border around each label with the backing showing so you can peel one off and reverse the page to print the other with no problem. The labels are 8 1/4" x 5 1/4" with slightly rounded corners. You don't want to adhere them over old labels or oter writing as it will show through a bit.

We have had no problems with our PT-1290RS. We haven't used it much but the backing seems to remove very easily. All we have to do is slightly bend the tape. The tape backing is split down the middle and once you bend it a bit you can easily see where to grasp and pull. We like the split backing because if you pull off the top piece of the backing you can get it centered on wherever you want to put it and then you can remove the bottom piece. We've never had any other kind of labeler so we don't have anything to compare it to. But so far we haven't had a problem with it. Hope this helps.

You'll get a very thin border that you can trim- but you need to "fool" it into thinking that by printing a "custom" size paper in the manual options. Also, the legal size setting requires certain PAPER type settings- no matter what paper you use- just let it print for the highest quality.

Because of the automatic margins, it's impossible to print to the very edge of the 4" label. Others have suggested printing to PDF and then selecting that image (or image capture) in the P-Touch software. It is an extra step but you can make it suit your needs and if you use 4"x100' continuous paper, actually save some paper over time. It's a great little printer.

The side that gets printed and cut on is super smooth. But you can test a little corner and re-stick it down to the backing, whichever side is sticky, thats the one that gets printed and cut. I usually just print and cut on the smooth side. The really cool thing is that if you use the sticker paper setting in Silhouette Studio and adjust the blade as it says, it doesn't cut the backer, so you end up with a really nice sheet of stickers. Hope this helps!

This printer does fill the entire 4x6 sheet when it prints. The finished print is very nice and polished and has a substantial feel. However some people may be confused because the 4x6 sheets come with a perforated section that you need to rip off after printing. There are also options on the printer mor the that can cause the prints to have a border.
