Re: What Did You Do In The Reloading Room This Week?
Good point! I have one of those, too —but have never tried to hook it to a computer. I’ll have to see if I can find the cable. Unfortunately I think it’s old enough it is probably a serial i/f.Pawpaw wrote:The best label printers are Brother P-touch.
The labels will never fade and will stay put. They are laminated when they come out of the printer and will stay where you put them. I worked in telecommunications for 20 years and they were the only label most companies would allow.
If you get one of the printers that have a USB interface and use the widest label tape, you can use your PC to format your labels any way you wish.

I’ve got one. They’re thermal printers and the labels fade over time. His printer uses a ribbon and presumably doesn’t fade. But the cost is prohibitive for me. Oh well...PBratton wrote:you can get a Dymo printer for under $100.

Got a link to that?strogg wrote: Nothing like making good use of a new-to-me label printer. This is the same sort of label used for shipping, so it's very fade, chemical, and heat resistant. Best part is that I don't need to worry about my poor penmanship. All I need to do is scan the barcode on my phone, and I have all the load data I need for that particular box of ammo. I just relabeled all of the boxes of loaded ammo I have. So much cleaner.
