I have a Brady ID-Pro and a Brady TLS2200, the former of which has seen better days. Unless you have a financially-viable reason to spend the money on a wire labeler, you're probably better off buying sheets of laser-printable wire labels. They come in regular 8.5x11" sheets. You can get different size labels depending on how big the wire diameter is and how much length/print area you need.
I have some from Panduit and some from T&B. One of them is rather flimsy, but unfortunately I can't remember which is which right now (I'm out of town at the moment). These are the self-laminating type where the upper portion of the label has a solid white print area and the bottom 2/3 or thereabouts is clear. After you print them up, you stick the label on the wire white-part-first, and then wrap the clear part around to laminate over the printed area to protect the laser toner from rubbing off. I usually batch-print the laser-printable ones to start off big jobs, and then use the TLS2200 to "fill in" errors and omissions. One potential snag is that I don't know of anyone that sells them by the sheet. I think the boxes I have are packs of 50 sheets. If you get desparate I can send you a sheet. Brother now also makes P-Touch cartridges that are specifically meant for wire marking. Haven't tried them though. If you already have a P-Touch labeler, this would probably be the cheapest route. --- Jeff > -----Original Message----- > From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary > Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2007 8:17 PM > To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Label makers > > Brady.
