The Brother PT-P900C is a desktop thermal transfer label printer that prints laminated labels on demand. It prints up to 32 mm high on 36 mm tape at 360 dpi. A built-in automatic cutter trims the tape to length, either one label at a time or as a strip of pre-cut labels. This is the non-Wi-Fi version and connects by wire only.
It uses drop-in HGe, TZe and HSe tape cartridges, including heat shrink tube. The laminated labels resist abrasion, fading, extreme temperatures, chemicals and moisture. The printer measures 4.7" wide x 5.7" high x 7.6" deep, so it fits on a crowded bench top or a cart.
It connects to a Windows or Mac computer over USB. Template mode lets it print on its own, from a scanned barcode, or from an industrial device such as a PLC or tester. An optional Li-ion battery can be added after purchase.
