Hey everyone, Many moons ago I worked in a place where we had a Brady LS2000 wire labeler. So long as the supplies were fresh it was great. In the storage unit I have a Brady TLS2200. Supplies are expensive, but it works reasonably well. Unfortunately the battery is shot (gotta replace that). It seems to me that as cheap as the Brother P-Touch type labelers have gotten that there might be some product by (Brady|Dymo|Brother|etc) that everyone uses and recommends these days which is (a) cheap enough that they can be deployed en masse rather than treated as a scarce resource, (b) hopefully runs on standard (such as AAA) battery types, and (c) has reasonably priced supplies. Labeling cables is mostly what I'm interested in. The el-cheapo p-touch seems adequate to putting hostnames on machines. Thoughts?
P-Touch with TZe tapes for me. I have stuff on the roof labeled with TZe tape and they still look new after about a year of exposure Disclaimer: I'm in the high desert. ~Seth
