So I have had a couple people ask me - my store is currently on vacation. I am not - just contemplating what I want to do from here. A lot of the time and stress from a store is wearing me down and so I wanted to take a couple of weeks break to re-evaluate what I do, how I do it, and make it better and more manageable. Some people mentioned label printers earlier in another thread and I was intrigued. Looks like a good idea. Basically, from what I can tell, printers are thermal - no ink or toner. You just buy the label paper. You have to get the right ones for certain labels - still working on that info. Anyway - if you have one of these, please share your info and knowledge in this thread. I and I am sure others want to buy the right one. I was shipping 15 packages a day - being able to peel and stick a label rather than pull off 60 pieces of tape would be freakin huge. Right now I am looking at the DYMO 450. Looks like you can get it for under 100$ (Amazon has it for $83) and I found an ebay seller with 5 sets of 700 labels for $15 or so. So we are talking at least as cheap as inkjet or laser printing.
