The stylish and portable PT-55 allows you to quickly and easily print labels anywhere you go. Simply switch on the P-touch,

enter the text, and then print out your label. You can also choose from various character sizes, styles, and framing/background

patterns in addition to underlining. In addition, you can specify the length of the label. The text can be printed on either one

or two lines and can include special symbols and accented characters. Various tape colours and two tape widths (9 mm and

12 mm) are available for creating personalised labels.
