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?

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?

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. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carol Pearson Sent: 15 August 2010 14:01 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Accessible label printer OK, George, what uses?
