had been a P-Touch 2000 and wanted to buy a better label printers, so my choice fell on the P-Touch 1830VP also due to the good recessions. Insert cartridge Unpacking and get started, no problem without manual. Super easy, and the case for this is great, but I did not know right away that the VP is the case after 1830, I learned only after a telephone conversation with the company. But Duch the practical case the device is always packed dust and looks elegant. Have for my brother bought equal a second !! Price at Amazon is also great !! Unfortunately, the cartridges are very expensive!
