Re: Thermal label maker

Bill, it must work because you use toner - it doesn't work with injet.
For permanent labeling I use the same markers you do from Eon (Eon in Ohio
is better than the Michagan manufacturer because the metal edges are
rounded).  I use a Brother P-Touch labelmaker that uses TZ laminated tape.
My unit is attached to my computer and came with 2 programs.  It's easy to
use and the labels, after 6 years of neIndiana winters, summer sunshine,
etc, look the same as the day I made them.  However, I didn't suggest this
to Al because it seemed to expensive for the task he described.  Your
solution sounds good though, and I may give it a try.  I could attach the
labels to the concave side of cut miniblinds. (The edges peel a bit on the
convex side.)  I could use the laser printer at work and see how well the
labels weather this winter.  Thanks for suggesting it.

Kitty
