Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Well, I'm getting kind of tired making labels using my computer, my Dell photo printer and laminated labels.....seems like I'm always about 1/32 " off ... and I canNOT cut a straight line if my life depended upon it! I don't produce enough product right now to warrant finding someone to make my labels. Should I just hunker down and get used to it for now?? Or do you guys use something else? Any one use one of those Xyron machines ... if so, are you happy with it? I'd love to have input from others!! Thanks! Dede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I really liked mine--I could print on any paper I wish, then make it into a stick-on. I had a 510 (but I don't think these are available anymore--I'm actually trying to replace the one I lost in my move from Detroit) but this time I think I want a bigger one, so that's something to consider.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi Dede, Have you looked into Primera Label Makers. They make two versions. We also got tired of printing our labels on our Dell Printers as they always were coming out crooked. And we still had to put tape laminations over them too. With the Primera you can buy different sizes of stock labels and use them or have them custom make the blank labels for you (which is what we do). Anyway, the printer is a little costly but it prints short run labels that you can change at your own whims. Or in our case if we decide to get a new essential oil from a new country etc. They make an LX 810 (very expensive) and the LX 400 (not so expensive). They still aren't the perfect printers for some items but we have adapted them to work for our product line. Here is a link to their site. http://www.primeralabel.com/ Hope this might help a little.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hey Serra! I found several 510's at the local JoAnne's here (Bryan, TX) yesterday ... pondered about it. Do you use the adjustable tape? Dede p.s. Want me to send you one?? ;-) , Serra <serrathescented wrote: > > I really liked mine--I could print on any paper I wish, then make it > into a stick-on.
