[CASL-L] Printer for barcodes & spine labels

[Sarah Lynch]

Hi Carolyn,

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, but that is not
standard.

I have had a Brother P-Touch label maker for over 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
