Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I have the Dymo 400 for that exact purpose. It works well, but the easiest way I've found to use it is making a jpg and placing it in the editing program that they include, otherwise any sort of interesting formatting is almost impossible. If you only want to make one label at a time, or have to do custom stuff on each label it might be a good choice, but there are super cheap printing places like " gotprint.com " that will print batches of labels at what seem like very reasonable prices, in color as opposed to BW.

I have checked out units by Dymo and Brother, both computer-driven and stand-alone. Anybody have any recommendations? - Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I use HP printers for the same purpose. It works great! bill_schoenbart <plantmed2 wrote: I'm looking at various printers to make custom labels for powdered extract prescription bottles.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 So, you just use the sheets of Avery labels and print one at a time? I do that in my home office for other applications, but I think I want a small printer for the herb pharmacy that doesn't require loading sheets. , Mike Liaw <mikeliaw wrote: > > I use HP printers for the same purpose.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I don't need to print a bunch of labels. Just one at a time, when I make up a custom prescription. I was looking at the Dymo 400. The Dymo or Brother printers seem to be good choices. I have heard that the labels get dark if they are left in the sunlight. Any problems with that? I wouldn't want a patient to have difficulty reading the label. , " Par Scott " <parufus wrote: > > I have the Dymo 400 for that exact purpose.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 The labels do degrade over time, they are thermally printed and it's not a super stable media, but it lasts longer than a patient is likely to have one bottle of herbs. If you have to customize each label see if you can test drive the interface somehow, I found it unwieldy and a pain to edit in.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi Bill. I use the Brother QL-5ooo and I absolutley love it. It prints labels in 1 second and has great software bundled with it that is incredibly easy to use. Best 100 bucks I've ever spent. I used to use the Avery labels and wasted so much time and papaer trying to line them up correctly. I would highly recommend the Brother!
