This is also how I did my labelling: Brother P-Touch, 2 sizes of black label ribbon: 6.35mm and 12.7mm, or if you prefer, 1/4" and 1/2". Works great, looks great, sticks hard.
Except that in South Africa, the machines entry prices are $ 80 or so, and each ribbon is sold $ 12 or so!

I bought this at Office Max (or Office Depot, heck I can't ever remember which one it is we have in town:-) at a whole whoppin $19 yesterday. http://rvflying.tripod.com/label.jpg Supposedly they are UV resistant, waterproof and non-scratchable. Sure enough, I can't scratch the lettering off with my fingernail. I'm going to heat a couple of them up as if under the canopy on a summer day and see what they do. From what I hear, they work just fine. You can get all differnet colors such as: black/clear, red/clear, gold/black..........the list goes on. You can print in five different sizes, nine different styles including vertically and six different underlines or frames. I know numerous people will post other ways to do it that work just fine, so have at it as I don't remember this thread popping up here lately. For $19 this falls right into my line of thinking which is cheapest/easiest, kinda like the $18 cheapest/easiest static system. BTW, this is a Brother P-touch 1180.............piece a cake!! Yes, sure I will have an Eject button in my airplane on the passenger side:-) Another BTW, I'll post a big time, major, put a smile on my face cheapest/easiest tomorrow on Fun Friday...........course I'll probably get a few smacks over the head with baseball bats, but so be it. Like the ol saying goes: When you play with fire you sometimes get burnt but most of the time you end up with a nice steak:-) Dana Overall 1999 & 2000 National KR Gathering host Richmond, KY RV-7 slider, Imron black, "Black Magic" Finish kit Buying Engine.
