I will echo Sarah - we also have the Brother model and it's still going strong - 7 years later!Jen LarkinSchool LibrarianEO Smith High School_______________________________________________On Thu, Sep 23, 2021 at 11:32 AM Sarah Lynch via CASL-L <casl-l@mylist.net> wrote: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/ptd600Sarah Lynch, National Board Certified Librarian
