[CASL-L] spine labels

[Sarah Lynch]

Hi Ann,

I highly recommend one. They are worth the price. One word of caution about
the Dymo 450 and any other Dymo thermal printer. Those are not meant to
last a long time and the thermal labels will fade with time and light
exposure, much like a thermal receipt fades. They will last longer than a
receipt, but will not likely last the life of a book. I know other
librarians who have used thermal printers and they had this problem. Dymo
does make label makers that are not thermal.

I have had a Brother P-Touch label maker for 11 years and I love it. It
gets a lot of use and has served me well. I have it connected to the
computer and have templates made up. I use it to print labels for my
shelves as well as spine labels. It can also print barcodes.

This is the update version. https://www.brother-usa.com/products/ptd600
