Portable Hand-Held Label Maker
The Brother PT-90 is a lightweight, portable hand-held labeler designed for on-the-go organisation. It suits home users, small offices and field workers who need quick, monochrome labels without a computer connection. The unit weighs 16 ounces and operates on battery power for true mobility.
Thermal Print Engine Limits
The direct thermal engine prints at 0.30 in/s with a maximum resolution of 203 dpi in monochrome. Output is restricted to black on white tape; colour, graphics or higher resolutions are not supported. Labels are created on the device using the built-in 12-character display and QWERTY keyboard.
Pre-Purchase Setup Check
Verify that direct thermal labels meet your durability needs, as prints can fade with heat or sunlight exposure. Confirm the 12-character display and onboard symbol set of over 170 characters cover your labelling tasks. Ensure you have compatible Brother TZe tape cassettes available, as no PC software or USB host is required for operation.
