OK George. I'm convinced to buy myself one the next time I go in the Staples direction.


I got the impression that they're all very similar, but do they all come with their own software, or do you just use your address book etc and normal email or WP prrogramme when using?

Do some labelers only take one size while others can take different sized rolls?

Anything else I should consider when purchasing?

Thanks.

CAROL

Hi Carol,

Even with sight, I've always found it a pain in the whatnot to produce just one label. These label printers are designed to produce one or
more self adhesive labels from a roll.

I forgot another label application we use at the office. SmartStamp. We print our own postage stamps. It's cheaper than having a franking
machine, but does cost £4.99 a month.  But where could I get a
franking machine for just under £60 a year?

George.

Hi George,

Thanks for this explanatory message. I din't realise the printers
were thermal.

What advantages do you see in using these labels as opposed to those printed in a normal printer, apart from the obvious already mentioned
of not needing ink?

Carol

Hi Carol,

They are all much the same. In fact between home and ofice, we have at least one from each manufacturer. They are all thermal printers, so you never need ink or ribbons. The are relatively easy to load
once you been shown a time or two.

You asked about uses. Greetings cards - as well as the address label, you can add a "From" label inside the card with a message if you want. Property labels - "If found, please telephone bla, bla". Keep a few in your purse or wallet as business cards. Junk mail - "Please return
to sender".

And if you are one of these really lucky and clever people with a bar code reader, you can print your own bar codes to label all manner of
things.

George.

OK, George, what uses? Which are the best for totally blind people
and why?

Once you get a real label printer, you'd be surprised just how many
other uses you find for it.

How about an ordinary printer with an envelope feed?

Hello

Can anyone recommend an accessible label printer. This is mainly for
printing labels for letters etc.

With thanks in advance

Mike.
