Brady label printer

This is what I use for everything

I don't know about OP, but EVERYONE where I work uses the Brady BMP21 plus with their nylon cloth tape too. It's super resistant to oil and other general boatyard filth.

https://www.amazon.com/Brady-BMP21-PLUS-Handheld-Printer-Multi-Line/dp/B00IELD1O4/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr1_2?keywords=bp+plus+label+maker&qid=1573964535&sr=8-2-fkmr1

• Someone fully blind might have an easier time tweaking their sleep cycle to have them alert at night, and being accustomed to functioning without sight could make them a capable watchman/guard. Few sighted city people appreciate just how dark it gets at night without electricity. I'd take an alert person standing guard by ear over a sleepy person half-assedly looking around for flashlight beams or whatnot, any day. I suspect that standing "watch" on a cloudy/rainy night is a place where someone accustomed to functioning with limited or no visual range would substantially outperform anyone accustomed to relying on their vision for information about their surroundings.
  
  
• Depending on your part of the world and how many plants are poisonous/harmful to touch, someone blind could build farming and plant identification skills that put "clueless sighted person visually examining a botanical guidebook" to shame. Scent and texture are important cues about whether garden crops are doing well or what they need, also.
  
  
• In the little house on the prairie books, one of the girls went blind as a result of some disease. She was able to assist the family by doing various sewing and handicrafts tasks.
  
  
• A blind person skilled at electronics and radio stuff could be just as valuable as any other HAM or communications geek. Sure, they'd probably have to work on adapting the gear before SHTF, but that's kind of what prepping is all about anyways. If they decide to climb the electronics skill tree and prep appropriate solar panels or whatever to keep their equipment charged, they could also rely on neat tools like simple ultrasonic rangefinders hooked to a speaker to detect how far away objects are and stuff. When recommending gear for a blind person, bear in mind that tiny or deeply inset screws (such as those on the back of many laptops) are extremely challenging to identify and examine by touch, whereas those that stick out or are flush with the surface that they fasten (such as those on many server and PC cases) are realistic to operate without sight.
  
  
• If someone who can't read can labels is prepping food items, they might need to come up with a more creative way to identify the items and years of things in cans. A really cheap embossing label maker might fit the bill, or maybe they make stuff like that for braille? I don't know.
  
  
• In a post-SHTF scenario, the minute a visitor realizes that the person they're talking to is blind, they may attempt to take advantage of them in some way. If I was a blind prepper, one of my higher priorities would be to get into a self-defense class. I would probably choose something focused on hand to hand combat against opponents who might be armed. My expertise in martial arts is sadly limited, but I suspect that the more physical-contact-oriented disciplines would give a sighted person less of an advantage over a blind one. At least, I would personally far prefer to attempt judo blindfolded than karate.
  
  
• I know it's not the case for all, but AIUI some blind people study in a more memorization-focused way than sighted people -- when it's harder to take and read notes, simply storing the information in your head becomes more worthwhile. Look at any culture without widespread literacy and printing presses (or higher-tech analogues), and the people who resemble walking libraries usually have a pretty well-respected role regardless of their physical or visual abilities.
  
  

Instead of cable wrap I make cable flags. I use a brother ptouch.

I found this on amazon super cheap one time and ordered a few. Super cheap meaning between 20 and 40 not over 100.

You can print labels up to 1" with this ptouch. But like I said, I make flags not wraps, where the two ends touch each other to make a flag. This holds until you cut them off.


Edit: that is the old model, which works great. The new model is below and priced a bit better than the old one:

What ben got for Christmas

Label Maker?

https://www.amazon.com/DYMO-LabelManager-Handheld-Label-1790415/dp/B005X9VZ70

here ya go boss, #1 tool.

You need a label maker! I swatched all my polishes last year, and I started with a sharpie but found it had a tendency to fade. I got an inexpensive little label maker off Amazon, and it made a big difference.

The Royal Epoch is made today.

Its a cheap piece of plastic apparently.

I would love for typewriters to be made out of some really slick space age materials, like aluminum!

Frankly, I'd like to see pretty much all of the features as seen on most manual typewriters - single,double,triple spacing, select between black and red text, touch adjustment, noise reduction, and heavy-duty reliable design/construction.

I think it would be fun to buy a newly designed manual typewriter - as an homage to yesteryear - where things didn't become obsolete on a planned 1 year cycle.

I don't know if you would have to sacrifice reliability for precision (any dust will cause malfunction or damage precision)

It would also be cool to have a USB keylogger, so I could export what I write to a text file on a computer.

Hello fellow racers,

(TL;DR down below)

This build was done in over the course of two days and roughly 21 minutes. Mostly due to other obligations but some planning and testing was done.

The labels I printed myself on a DYMO LT-100H, I also ordered an off brand pack of extra colors to bring some life to the project. The “button box” is a ROTTAT 22-key Numeric Keypad and was the most expensive part of the project.

In the little time that I’ve used it so far I enjoy the mechanical nature of the keys. Since I wear headphones when I play I like that I can feel when I’ve pressed the key. It adds a little extra pizzazz if you will and gives it a seemingly heavier stroke. The biggest con is programming it to the game, some of the keys are not usable with num-lock on/off. So it took some thinking to determine what I would want for the different “states” that I could enable with the num-lock key.



TL;DR $48.26 if you already own scissors, it’s cool so far and I’m happy with it.

That's not a #1 tool...
THIS is the #1 tool:
https://www.amazon.com/Brother-PT-E550W-P-Touch-E550W-Hand-Held-Labeler/dp/B00L9Y3UX0/
Support for ALL kinds of labels, including fabric and shrink-wrap. Wifi and USB connectivity(you really want the PCbased SW when you want to create labels for a large series of items. Yes, it imports DBs) often-used labels can be stored in memory, it does Barcodes.
And in an emergency it can be used to bash users with...

Brother Label makers are pretty cheap, get the labels of amazon for cheap as well although label makers usually will come with some of them.

Edit* This one is on sale for $40 and can make up to 3/4" wide labels. https://www.amazon.ca/Brother-400AD-Desktop-Labeller-Adapter/dp/B00QAQ563O/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?keywords=brother+label+maker+20mm&qid=1568225139&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr2

Looks like your "log" was in the style of a Moleskine Volant (small field notes style notepad).

Lots of technical folks love them - I'm a web developer myself and keep them handy. They are usually that small and about 56 pages. All of that said, they are like two or three for $5. Not exactly a huge bonus, but at least a hint of geekiness.

Enjoy!

Waht type of budget are you looking at?

There isn't much that goes into cleaning airsoft guns. A cleaning rod, some microfiber cloths, and a bit of rubbing alcohol is all it really takes for an AEG. For GBBs (I assume his G19 will be GBB) he might need a valve key to disassmeble the mags.

Maybe a gun rack or gun case



Patches are always a good gift

Comfy socks, like Darn Tough, are awesome.

If he uses midcap mags (No winding wheel on the bottom) he might like an Odin Sidewinder. It's an amazing speedloader. They've announced an updated version but I don't know when it's coming out. If he already has a Sidewinder there's a sound dampening thingy for it.

Edit: On a $250 budget you can get him some nice stuff:

Vortex Crossfire II 1-4x24 scope is an incredible scope. I know I'd be ecstatic to get one if I didn't already have one.

Salomon boots are awesome boots. Peoples feet can vary a lot so boots might not be a great gift but Amazon does have a good return policy

A Dye i5
or i4 are great masks. Again, preferences may vary. He might prefer goggles and separate lower face protection.


This might sound stupid and isn't really airsoft related, but I got a label maker and it's been awesome.

I like to write the lessons that I've learned from such a situation( I use a Volant ).

How about a label printer?

Do yourself a favor and get one of these.

For only $19ish!

Fit Desk - this would really help me considering how much time I spend at my desk with studying. Also, I am not supposed to walk a lot and I'm supposed to bike and swim but biking on city streets is not a good idea for me.

C'mon...gimme.

You guys throw the best contests!

Seriously a label maker is $15 (for a cheapish one but it works).

https://www.amazon.com/DYMO-LabelManager-Handheld-Label-1790415/dp/B005X9VZ70/

It's a raised-type label maker. Think about it like this: Before being able to "print" onto the labels, the machine would instead punch the letter from the back into the strip and cause it to 1) be raised and 2) because of the way the material works, the stretching of the material would make the color change (usually to white)... this about how stretching anything plastic has this effect.

A machine that did this looks like this.

This one

Same here! I finally splurged and got this cool Krinkle-It machine to up my game. Totally recommend!

It sounds like you're looking for a device that's essentially a palm sized typewriter. I looked and looked and havent found anything, but there was a listing for a typewroter described as "miniature" and "portable" on Amazon. This may be too clunky and inaccessible but I thought I'd link it anyway. Good luck!

Omg we LOVE the label maker! We may have labeled where every size glass and plate goes in the cabinet.
While I would have thought it was crazy two years ago - I am SUPER pleased with the purchase.

This is the one we bought : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005X9VZ70/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The best part, the replacement tape is $1.72 less than the actual machine! hahaha. So, we may just keep buying more machines, just for the hell of it.

Our Roomba (named Robby), and this label maker.........oh, and the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich maker..........best purchases we have made = D

I use one of these. With some of these. You can get the labels in different sizes. They look/work really well.

Oh gawd, this was my aunt with her kids, names in the underwear and on the lunch bags in gigantic print monogrammed shirts, personal stationary (before thy were old enough to write) hell they even each had hung up pictures with their names on them.. ::shudders:: Not my kids.

I always felt like it was some colossal joke to remind the of their names if they ever forgot. Plus if things need to get labeled there is this amazing invention called the Brother P touch. http://www.amazon.com/Brother-PT1290-Home-Office-Labeler/dp/B002KT1ZX0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323797830&sr=8-1

Not the best but it gets the job done

normally $80 on amazon

labels look small compared to regular labels

wodner how easily they come off

I hope this isn't condescending, but I'm also a Special Ed teacher and spend a lot of time creating systems for my students. Below is some information that might be helpful. If not, that's cool too!

Make a visual chart for her. Break it down like this:

DAILY (no more than 2-3 things)

• Make Bed
  
• Clothes - Hang Up or Put in Hamper
  
• Organize School Stuff (Like backpack, etc.)
  
  
  Weekly (Do no more than 1 thing per day - 7 days per week, no exceptions)
  
  
• Vacuum Room
  
• Tidy Nightstand
  
• Dust
  
• Tidy Closet
  
• Clean Mirror
  
• Get Dirty Clothes and Put Next To Washing Machine
  
• Clean Window
  
  Obviously, you can make these up however you want, but the idea is to have 2-3 "daily" things and 1 "weekly" thing that she does every day.
  
  Some other tips:
  
  
• Make sure the chart is visible!! Put it on the back of her door or (better) her wall. Be sure to put it in her room. Make sure she can check off each thing daily. Hang a pen next to the chart.
  
  
• Be sure that every drawer/closet/cabinet has an organizing system in it with a concrete place for everything BEFORE you start expecting her to clean up independently. Label each area. This is going to cost a little money to implement, but it's SOOOOO helpful once it's in place. The Container Store had good stuff, but Dollar Tree also sells a lot of things that can be used to organize stuff. Get a really good labeler.
  
  Great Organizing Videos to Help
  
  Inexpensive Labeler
  
  
• Get everything in place and CLEAN and then start the program the next day. This way it's not totally overwhelming for her to maintain everything. The first week she might end up vacuuming an already pretty clean carpet, but that's okay. She'll be creating a great behavioral pattern, and that's the most important thing.
  
  
  

>I'm fairly ignorant of electric systems on boats.


I hope you're comfortable with how basic 12VDC electrics work and are asking about how to wire them in a marine environment.


Preface, I'm not a certified marine electrician but I've done a ton of work re-wiring, custom work on all kinds of sail and power boats.


Tools:
>I do have a cheap harbor freight multi-meter

good, now you're going to need a way to crimp those shitty connectors and some dielectric grease.


Unless of course you want to solder all your connections (this is my preference as it doesn't vibrate loose or corrode as quickly), then follow NASA's soldering method s and yuu'll need some rosin cored solder and and a soldering iron, you'll also need to use a crimp connector without the pre-molded shrink wrap and some heat shrink tubing


Ok... got your tools? great, now for supplies.


You'll need a buss bar on your ground


Measure how much wire you need, (are you re-wiring the mast?) and use 14/2 AWG marine grade wire.


If you're only using 1 battery you can get away with a simple switch like this. From the devices & lights you listed It sounds like you can use 10AWG to connect your battery to your switch then to the 14 gang panel.


You'll need a way to label your wires, I use one of these but if you're doing one job you might want to use something cheaper.

Ok... now on the to the fun part


Plan where you're going to mount your panel and pull a single RED 10AWG from there to your battery shut off switch and another strand from you battery to the switch.


Pull 10 AWG from the battery to the buss bar.


pull all the 14awg from the lights to the panel labeling each 14/2 wire as you go


red goes to the fuse block, black goes to the buss bar then to the negative on the gang block, label everything at the connection points, big red wire goes from battery switch to the bolt on the 14 gang, big black wire goes to the buss bar.


install new things, as each device is hooked up test the fuse and switch, then install the new thing.

Edit: I forgot to mention, use dielectric grease on all metal fittings to reduce corrosion.


edit 1: put a fuse between your battery and shut off ont the red wire

I used to print on paper and apply with glue stick but I find it does not work well if the bottle is cold. And I got tired of dealing with glue stick.

Now I switched to a simple handheld label maker, I like it more because it prints simple small labels on a very durable ribbon and I do not need to mess with adhesive (glue stick or milk).

Labels come off clean (no resedue) and can even be reused a few times!

Yes! I bought a label maker on sale ages ago and I put labels on everything. It's a little more high tech than I probably really need, but it's waterproof and tidy.

I got a Dymo off Amazon for about 50 bucks....carts are about 20-25 bucks, depending on what you want. It's a thermal printer...but it's not awesome. It gets the job done and it's a lot cheaper alternative than the $400/$50percart option from Panduit.

Nothing too fancy... but I found out I can print little flowers on my labels!

Not so vintage, you can still buy new label maker today

I've seen some people using something like this:

I just ordered this one this morning. I figured I’d like to have the keyboard part since I very rarely have my computer out. If I just got one that was basically a printer I’d hardly ever use it. About to be fancy as hell.

Seconding the label maker idea. There's a fantastic deal on a rhino, I have one of these and it's a total tank.

RhinoPRO

I wouldn't typically recommend a $200+ label maker to someone who isn't already working in a datacenter, but for $70? You'll only need to replace it when you can't buy cartridges for it anymore. The cheap ones aren't the end of the world, but printers are printers :P

How about this?

I use a Brother QL-570 Label Printer. Prints black and white. I typically put on the label: mead/beer name, honey used and/or special ingredients, date it was brewed, bottle date, OG, FG, and ABV. These labels are not fancy, but they do the job well. They also come off bottles easily after soaking in water. The wide labels are wide enough to allow some creativity if you wanted a logo on your labels as well.

This is the one I bought for that job and it was great.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MR516Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use the Brother QL-570 printer with these labels. I use the software included with the printer.

I have outer sleeves on all my records, so I just put the label on the upper left-hand corner of the outer sleeve.

this is the one I use. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LNDBH4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it's a crosscut 12sheet shredder. If you have issues with overheating.. you can try some shredder lubricant. I have to use it periodically but I do keep the blades wet most of the time when shredding cardboard. Been working great for the past few years. earthworms seem to love cardboard too for some reason.

How expensive is expensive? I bought this for $98 and couldn't be happer. It does pretty much any kind of label. I used the self laminating labels when I redid my rack.

Wow. Amazon has them. You'll need the plastic embossing tape, too.

I had no idea that Dymo still made these.

That one was $100 in Australia when I bought it, awesome printer. Might have to fiddle with the drivers to make it print at max DPI (300x600 I believe)

DK-22113 is clear, continuous tape. Can't seem to find any 3rd party version of it

After a lot of research i settled on the Dymo Rhino 4200 and really love this thing. Absolutely perfect for computer work. https://www.amazon.com/DYMO-RHINO-Label-Maker-1801611/dp/B005MR516Y

Label maker!

'Little boxes on the hillside.'

TGIF!

Further to this, specific product recommendations for Brother label makers:

PT-P750W for PC-only printing.

PT-E550W if you want a screen and keyboard to use it standalone too.

Both do USB and WiFi printing. And as you say, printing a whole series in one go, especially with the later models' half-cut mode that cuts the labels without cutting the backing, I've quite often printed two metres of labels in one go that way.

I've been eyeing this thing for rear product labels (serial numbers, MAC address, that sort of thing): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DSYEB28/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Label widths go down to 6mm and 3.5mm: http://www.brother-usa.com/supplies/tape-labels/adhesive.aspx

I'm not sure of a set convention. In my IDFs I do patch panel number - port number (so patch panel 1 port 36 would be 1-36). On my user-facing ports I do closet - patch panel - port (so closet 3, patch panel 4, port 28 would be 3-4-28). I personally use vinyl wrap-around labels from this DYMO printer. They work well, are easy to apply, and are hard to remove. In my closets I'll usually only apply the label on the switch side, kind of redundant doing it on the patch side as well.

In the datacenter itself, I usually follow a pretty strict convention for labeling and cable color. Labeling will usually detail the server (VMHOST-01), the port's function (VMGUEST-PROD), the port's VLAN, the NIC it attaches to, and the switch/switchport it attaches to. Usually on both sides of the cable so I can see at a glance, in an emergency situation, what's going where. How detailed you get is usually going to be determined by how large your DC is. Mine's pretty small (under 20 iron servers, maybe 60 VMs total), but the more detail the better.

If you're wearing a blazer/jacket, you can always put it into the side pocket pretty discretely. With normal shirts, as long as the notebook isn't too large, it won't be much of an issue. Honestly, nobody will really look down on an otherwise great outfit because you have a small notebook in your front pocket.

Not sure if this is what you already have in the photo, but I've found these notebooks to be very small and discrete.

Brother P-Touch-E550W

Brother Laminated Tape Black on Yellow, 24mm (TZe651)

A little bit of an investment at first, but it saves a lot of time and hassle being able to print out a long strip of sequential labels that are half-cut and easy to peel off.

Thanks for all the replies! I can't decide between thermal or laser printer, which one would you suggest me? I will take one of those:

I bought the PT-D600 a while back and it’s pretty nice. Best feature is the large, color display that scales to the tape size (up to 24mm/1”), so you know what the printed label will look like (WYSIWYG). I haven’t tried it yet, but supposedly prints at a higher resolution when connected to a computer.

>the Dymo label is consistent with that era.

Probably, but not necessarily

Labels were made using a Brother PT-D600 label maker. I created the labels, along with the mistakes :D

I'm sure you will find plenty of other uses for a label maker once you have one, but yeah the Rhino 6000 is kinda pricey.

Brother also makes a PC connectable label maker that you can pull data from an excel spreadsheet to get your label names. But its around $70

Just get a label maker for $25 - they have infinite uses:

Brother P-touch Easy Hand-Held Label Maker (PT-H100) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008HPTR9U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_gVmZCbZWT0B28

For a labeler I was thinking about something like [this](http://www.DYMO LabelManager 160 Hand-Held Label Maker (1790415) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005X9VZ70/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_FMH9wbJRA15M0)to start. Nothing fancy just something to label juice flavor and ratios.

And from what I've gathered lurking in /r/diy_ejuice, Amber bottles are the best bottles to use and won't cost you anything extra last I checked.

Moved a small data center to a new location. They didn’t keep up on their labeling. The Brother PTD600 will connect to your laptop. We had an Excel spreadsheet with the port IDs. We labeled each tag with the near-end port on the first line, and the far-end port on the second line. Then swapped them for the opposite end. I would like to look into the Brady label maker.

Brother PTD600

Unitag Cable Identification Label - Snap On

Can connect to phone(although the android app is aids).

Can print multiple labels at once and half-cut through the label itself but not the peel on the back of it(less messy with many labels).

Relatively little margin, can be set to 0 margin if you're chain printing, apart from a little extra feed after the last print.

QWERTY keyboard(like really how hard is this?).

Also its like 200$.

Not really sure on the BIFL aspect though(especially that app, its horrendous)

im no expert, just a quick google search.
there must be larger industrial versions.
as for better options, it depends on what your application is. what are you using the void fill for?

I like this one:

If you are using it for work, they should be reimbursing you anyways. Especially something like this that has a daily cost like the tape cartridges.

seconded!

with these labels

I use this Brother labelmaker that I got for $10 from slickdeals a while ago.

Before that I wrote on bottles in sharpie and put scotch tape on top of it.

I just got this one and it worked great. I use the flexible nylon for cables and the poly on my rack, no issues.

Why not just get a handheld label maker? It is super easy and you can typically find this one or similar for $15

I believe you can do taht with the larger Brother P-Touch labelers. Such as this https://smile.amazon.com/Brother-P-touch-PTD600-Connectible-Display/dp/B00OCEKCB2/

What, you're not granting him enough 'smarts' to buy a pair of these bad boys? XD

I got one of these a few weeks ago and it has worked well. I got the lot version that comes with a rechargeable batter.

I bought this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LNDBH4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Handles paper great, not cardboard, but I have enough paper now that I can use this no problem. Lots of newspaper thanks to my neighbor. :)

>Capex vs Opex is generally not a consideration when purchasing a $50 - $1000 item. In fact, there usually is a minimum threshold (usually above $1000) before a purchase is placed on a Capex depreciation schedule.
>
>Additionally, many businesses WANT to place things in the Capex bucket, as it defers costs over time, thereby improving short-term profit margins.

This is true -- provided you assume that the manager MAKING the decision is fully aware of this -- all too often they are NOT.

Instead what low and middle level managers ARE aware of is that they have $X in their budget for certain categories of expenses (and for Capex that number is often $0 -- to get any capital expenditure approved {and despite the price typically ANY computer or *peripheral is considered a Capex), they have to get some upper manager's approval -- and the upper managers tend to "grant" such things on more of a political basis than they do on a practical basis, and then within amounts that have been set by their OWN managers via the main corporate budget.)

And if/when money gets "tight" in a business, one of the first things that gets sent down the management pipeline is to END any "extraneous" spending -- which gets interpreted by the low and mid level management as a blanket "no more extra stuff, make due with what you have".

*I kid you not, in one company I was "thumped" by both accounting AND the IT department head for buying a couple of PC-attached Label Printers (this kind which at the time were like $100 each) without getting prior approval because the company wanted to call them a "capital purchase" !!! (And worse, the idiot IT department wanted to charge MY department $200 for each one for "support services" -- I told them to go F! themselves and that before I would call them to "service" one of the dang things, I would chuck them in the garbage and buy a new one (and I actually had a third one that I had already bought as a backup just for that purpose) -- I ended up having to get the President of the company involved in order to get them to back down on their bullshit. The brainlessness of some mid-level managers and the dogmatic idiocy of some accounting people is really rather astounding, they will piss away hundreds or thousands of $$ of valuable staff time arguing literally over pennies.)

I use allpro. Before i started, I worte down everything I needed in a tiny moleskin. cheap too. here you go

I bought this awhile go but it looks like it isn't available: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07538XHNZ/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It works pretty good except some heavy pieces fall off, but overall super helpful. The label maker I bought is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005X9VZ70/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
