This is usually free AR on BF. I would wait for a few more days.
Look at how much the tape cartridges cost also. I use three of the higher end models. The tapes cartridges are pricey and all but one of them like to waste the tape.
can't you do what this does with your printer? I don't see why I need one.
It's handy to be able to print black on clear for neat and puuuurty labels (blue on white, red on white, white on black, etc) but you're right, the label cartridges aren't cheap. We use it at work (not my dime
. It's handy to be able to print a quick label or two if you need it, especially nice if you have rotten handwriting. Labels sometimes pull the paint off the shelves during removal tho, and as previously stated, it cranks out extra label material before and after your words, so there's a good bit of waste.
This is a convenient tool. 10 cents cost of label against turning on your computer & printer, run MS Words, open label template, put label in printer, and turn computer off. I rather spend that 10 cents. You don't use these often, so why spend more money up front just to save to on label cost. I bought two. One for myself and one for my neaty niece.
This is great to label my kids lunch box and stuff.
