Carnivine Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I use the Brother P-Touch 1230pc and use laminated labels. It also allows you to add your own logo etc to the label. Not handheld - you need to connect it to your laptop via usb but its a very good printer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuberousdrosera Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Ah I use that to print labels for posting, it is not suitable for garden labels. You have the wrong printer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 The GL200 is a decent printer. I got mine new with tapes for £9.99. It will run ok on batteries but it will cost you a fortune as a set will last for about 10 minutes of printing. Get yourself a mains lead. I'm assuming you already know which tapes to buy in future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deltatango301 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I double checked with brother and they recommend the Tze S231 I will order a mains plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 131 is black on clear 231 is black on white There are many other colour combinations too. I have found 131 the better choice unless of course you are using black labels. The object of my previous post was to show you the price of the generic tape.

Deltatango301 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Do the labels support themselves or do you stick them on a garden label ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Star Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 The tape has an adhesive backing and is stuck on to the plastic plant labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
