Introducing the high-end model "PT-P710BT" with expanded design and functions in the label writer "Ptouch Cube" series. It will be released by Brother in mid-February.
Since its launch in October 2016, Ptouch Cube has sold over 40,000 units and is a hit product. If it becomes a high-end model, not only those who will buy it, but also those who already have it will be interested. I tried using a new model one step ahead!
What is "Ptouch Cube"?
The P-touch cube does not have a keyboard on the main body, and the feature is that all label design and operation is done with a dedicated smartphone application. Since it connects to the main unit via Bluetooth, you can print even from a distance.Easy to input because it is designed with a familiar smartphone. A wide variety of templates are available, and one of the attractions is that you can create your favorite label without worrying about it.
This is the new model!
・ Compatible with 24 mm wide tapeIn addition to the conventional 12mm width tape, the new model also supports a new 24mm width tape. You can now increase the font size and enter characters in two lines.
This improves visibility and makes it possible to identify clothes cases, trash cans, and high-position labels at a glance. I am very grateful to the author of myopia!
・ "Share label" with QR code printed
In addition, a template has been added that allows you to create a "QR code label" that links any image or URL. For example, you can quickly check from your smartphone by pasting the product site for detergents and seasonings whose containers have been transferred, and the instruction manuals for home appliances. * A Dropbox account is required to upload images and videos.
・ Fashionable "shop label" templates
In addition, templates such as shop decorations and take-out wrapping labels are also available for sole proprietors who operate restaurants. All of them are stylish, so it's fashionable to use at home!
Size and other specifications
The all-white cube design remains the same, but the size has been changed to 128 x 67 x 128 mm, which is one size larger than before. Furthermore, the power supply has changed from AAA batteries to lithium-ion batteries, and it is now possible to charge with a USB cable.Bonus: Hundred yen store for storage !?
By the way, the 100-yen CD box, which has been introduced as a storage item for P-touch cubes on the official website, is perfect for this model. It has a handle and is easy to carry, so check it out if you're a kid.The estimated retail price of the Ptouch Cube "PT-P710BT" is 12,500 yen (excluding tax). The price is about twice that of the previous model, but the impression is that the range of utilization has expanded further. The new model seems to be good for people who will buy it from now on.
