these are very good

dont go for the letter tag, the carts are cheaper but you only get 4m instead of 7m for the d1

I've got a brother P-Touch PT7600 which is really good, you can store images etc on it too, works very well.

+1 on this. Stonking bit of kit. The TZe labels are superb as well.

Thanks chaps, it seems the 7600 has been discontinued now. what does it do over the cheaper ones like Lee and Shanky posted!?

It takes tapes up to 24mm. You can save and print customised logos. It also has a full set of electrical symbols. It has a small mountain of printing options, really good for patch panels and DB's etc. It's also rechargable.

For a few quid less there is the PT7100, without the customised labels feature and not rechargable.

A lot will depend on how much you want to spend, I think Brother have a couple of new models out now, including one that can print from your smart phone.

I've had nothing but bother in the past with Dymo and the Dymo Rhino range. Also worth noting that a Brother Tape cassette is generally 8M long, Dymo just 5-5.5M, if comparing prices on tapes (as they can be blooming costly!)

I bought one of these from screwfix two weeks ago. About £45 if is remember right. Does most things I need it for and a lot more besides. Runs off batteries or ac adaptor provided and came in a decent carry case.

how much atat yess? ill have to make a special trip if its a bargin

 

[ash_s3]

It's £129+vat same as labelzone, seems a lot for a label printer if I'm honest.

If It connects to your smartphone then surely all your using it for is the actual label printer? No need for a keyboard and display ?

I have a really basic Brother P-Touch 1090 label printer in my car for site work, it was incredibly cheap (around 6 UK Pounds) but it's survived about 3 years of abuse already and it's all I need for everyday labeling. I have a desktop label printer in my office which was expensive but it does bar-coding and heatshrink labels up to 100mm diameter etc and interfaces with a laptop.

Maybe go the same route with a cheapie for everyday use so there's no tears if it gets broken or goes missing and buy an all singing and dancing one for your office if the need arises in the future.

That's the one I have just bought it prints everything you will need warning labels, voltage , next inspection and the heat shrink labels it also works off wifi so you work it from your phone or ipad.
