Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone is using a label printer to produce labels that are more waterproof and durable than paper and tape. Does anyone have a working solution?

Thanks,
Kiran (NZ)

I was thinking of using labels here in NY hub too. Copy the tag on pre-formatted template (so you don't have to print one tag and throw away a sheet of paper) on Google Doc/MS Word, and print tags as needed. I was thinking more from perspective of saving paper.... but any best practices, suggestions, or pre-cautions (does it stick firmly on laptops and adapter?) are welcome.

Hi,

I am using a Brother QL-500 label printer and this is a very comfortable solution.
Created an MS word template once and just copy pasting device id and barcode from labdoo.org to this template and hit Print.
Works like a charm.

Gruß!

@MichaelKnight

My experience is those printers use thermal printing (I use a Dymo for general label printing). The heat from the computer can, over time, make thermal printer labels fade. Have you see that with your Brother?

@Gregg: To be honest, I don't know. Usually, I set up the laptops, tag them and send them away. From there, I don't see them again.
So you could be true.
I sticked a label to my personal laptop now and will let you know the result after some test time :)
