To my rescue starting several years ago comes thermal label printers; now available in all shapes, label sizes, power usage (battery and wall socket), input style (built-in or computer keyboard interface) and price ranges. One such model is the DYMO LabelMANAGER PC shown to the left. It is a simple, elegant design able to use several sizes (1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 and 1") of label cassettes in a varity of color combinations.The difference between this type of thermal labelmaker and the one that most users are familiar with is that this uses a thermal plastic tape in a cassette holder instead of a roll of thermal paper.
