A smart-looking handheld label printer that could almost be mistaken for a portable computer has been launched by Brother. The PT-2460 is designed to print tough, laminated labels in seconds, taking input from an easy-to-navigate alphanumeric keyboard.

The unit can print five different label sizes from 6mm to 24mm, and can also produce barcodes. Other capabilities include a rotate print function, store last message, repeat printing and a tape cutter. The machine comes with alkaline batteries (rechargeable batteries optional), wrist strap and tape.
