Default Plant Labels

Precisely why we see so many unlabelled orchids floating around ... Kenni

Kenni-
I wouldn't even know how to guess. I'm not a commercial grower so I only
need to print a single label at a time.

I would think printing 2000 labels would start to get expensive and not
worth the cost.

Frank: How long do you figure it would take you to print, oh, say, 2000
labels?

Pat: Good score, on that printer. It's been a while since I checked,
but even used on e-bay used to be much higher. I'll have to go look some
more. Thanks, Kenni

I have been using the Brother P-touch label maker for several years.
Purchased at an Office Max and have loved it. There are a variety of
different adhesives. The heavy duty has not faded at all. The adhesive
has remained strong despite sun, water etc. I'm totally sold.

Thanks.

Hi all,

Over the years the topic of how to make plant labels has come up
numerous times. I have always responded that I made labels using old
dot matrix prints, special UV ink and File Maker Pro. About a year ago
my label manufacturer informed me they were no longer carrying the
blank labels used in dot matrix printers. Over the last year there has
been a scramble between growers buying the last of the blank labels,
they are now gone. A while back my last dot matrix print died and I
knew it was time to get out of the 80's and charge into the technology
of the 90s. My 'new' Toshiba TEC thermal label printer fresh off eBay
is scheduled to arrive today. I am planning to move label printing off
the Mac environment to the PC/windows/Microsoft world. Does anyone
have any experience with this type of printer? I think I am going
store the label data in Access and drive the label making process from
there but I am not sure and would love comments. I am so not ready for
this. I guess the apple talk network comes down next.
