Re: semi professional label printers
I use the Dymo Letratag model and tapes that I buy on eBay. I am pleased with the model. It is priced at around £30.00 on Amazon UK. However ALDI sell the same model from their stores twice a year for around £15.00 where I bought mine. I have a couple of photos available, however I cannot get this antiquated Forum system to accept photos.
I believe the more expensive Brother models are very good.

Re: semi professional label printers
Thanks, Bonsai
He wants to print direct on to a label, I have an old brother P-touch for my labelling but he has a small business selling plants so wants something quicker & less work

Re: semi professional label printers
I have this one in use: https://www.dymo.nl/labelmakers-printer ... 15350.html
I don't know if it is still available. It is probably an older model. Bought it second had in 2011 and it still works fine.

Re: semi professional label printers
I finally accepted I was never going to get round to using my clear Avery labels in conjunction with a laser printer so bought a Brother H101C from Costco which I plan to use for the collection. For the nursery I can't find anything better than my voice-activated label printer though this doesn't always work in cold or wet weather.

Re: semi professional label printers
Tina,
Something like this may be what he is looking for:
https://www.labelzone.co.uk/products/la ... ing-bundle
Kevin Bailey uses one for his plant sales and told me about it.
You can design your own layouts, but be careful - the free version of the software that comes with it may need to be upgraded to a paid version if you want to print lots of different labels from a spreadsheet.
[Being a cheapskate, I bought a similar TSC branded printer taking the same supplies, to print labels for my spare plants, and wrote my own software to print labels using the printer's built in control language. I still my Brother P-Touch printer to label plants in my collection.]
Hope that's useful.
Ralph

Re: semi professional label printers
I use the Labelzone model which Ralph has just pointed out.......it is very good especially if you have a tray of 54 plants of the same name ....it prints them out within 10 seconds.
I also have my Plant Passport details on this label ready for online sales.
Lablezone do have a lifetime guarantee on the machine plus they can help set it up with you phone to phone.
The cost I believe is about £700 which most people would not wish to pay, but if you get through 1000s of labels a season like myself, then the time and convenience of using this type of machine is well worth it.
Cheers
Tony.

Re: semi professional label printers
Hi Tina,
I use a Broth Ptouch P700. It has many more functions than the previous hand held printer I had.
It can print from a spread sheet and multiples of the same label - its good.
