Re: Costar LabelWriter for garden labels?
I hve a CoStar Label Writer. They are
great and do work well from a database.
You can get a variety of labels in
different sizes. These I have to order
through computer mail order sources -
since our local office supply store does
not stock them. I do not know how well
they would stand up to the elements
outside. SandyB
