Why I Love Label Makers

This was my first P-Touch Label Maker, PT-1750 discontinued now, but it sparked in me the desire to label anything that is not instantly recognizable in the house. You name it, I labeled it!

High quality laminated label technology
Can print on 4 different tape widths from 6mm to 18mm
Prints up to 2 lines of text
15 character LCD display for easy editing
Auto numbering and repeat printing up to 9 copies
Prints in 6 sizes, 9 styles
57 built in symbols
Underlines and frames text
Prints vertically and horizontally

Then I upgraded to the PT-1960, which has since also been discontinued, which has the following functions:

Connect to your PC (USB Cable required) to use more fonts, add graphics, or print from databases
Small desktop design -- perfect for helping organize any home office or office
Create high-quality, easy-to-read labels in seconds
Flexible: Prints up to 5 lines, with 64 type sizes/style combinations
Perfect for file folders, binders, property labels, or virtually anything that needs a label 2 line LCD display
Includes AD-60 AC adapter

Although both are quite old in the world of technology, I love and use both on a weekly basis. Here is just a small example of where they make an appearance:

Squeeze Bottle in the Kitchen for different Oils & Vinegars
Closed Tins in the Bathroom - Q-Tips, Cotton Balls, Tampons
In the Freezer to bulk food broken down to portions with date and product, never guess what's that!
In the studio - labeled storage containers with what's inside to make life more productive
In the office - file folders, filofax tabs, electrical cables, you name it - I've labeled it
On the vanity - nail polishes, open dates on cosmetics

TZ Tapes come in the following sizes/colors:
