The only thing I hate about my Brother PTD-400 is that it wastes blank tape between prints. Definitely a conspiracy to make you buy more supplies from the manufacturer.
Fortunately there are several 3rd-party suppliers of good-quality/low-cost tape. Where possible, I manually insert blanks to make separate labels, print, then cut with scissors.
