Hi Randy,

I know where you are coming from. I have going throw many types. Currently we use the Bothers P-Touch with the TZe Tape with the specific "Cable/Wire Labels" tape. It works ok and the labels last much longer then the previous masking tape with sharpe method.

Overall I pay more money then I would like for the machine and the Tape. But it seems to work well and that does mean something.

One of my techs have been look at the "TekGun - Cable Labeling System" for cables. It does look kind of cool. Anyone here have experience with that TekGun and what are your thoughts on it?

ok, this is horribly pragmatic, but it's real.  yesterday i was in the
westin playing rack and stack for five hours.  an horrifyingly large
amount of my time was spent trying to peel apart labels made on my
portable brother label tape maker, yes peeling the backing from a little
label so remote hands could easily confirm a server they were going to
attack.

is there a trick?  is there a (not expensive) different labeling machine
or technique i should use?
