Plant labels

Just got a tape label machine, from Lidl £14.99
I was fed up of never being able to find a pencil to do labels, and name of the plant rubbing off.

 

very nice I have one similar worth every penny

 

Looks like I need to make a trip to Lidl on the 2nd to get one.

Comes complete with batteries and a sample label tape, you can buy a power adapter from ebay, will do at a later date

 

Ian the batteries last for ages and then I recharge them so dont waste your £££ on a adaptor

have you read the instruction booklet yet just wait

sutton seeds are doing one for £9.99 bargain

 

I throw the instruction leaflet away, I took one look at it and thought forget it.
Only bought and machine as we needed some milk and spotted it

 

What kind of labels does it produce? Those plastic embossed strips?

They have these and similar ones on Ebay for around the same price.

 

They are printed not embossed, you can do on word over the other, in upper and lower case.

 

, I havnt seen one that good for £9.99 on ebay , cheepest they have is £15.99

 

They do look good, better than my untidy scrawl that washes off!

 

Hopefully the refill tapes are available elsewhere? 'coz Suttons change £18 for them ... perhaps buy 2 extra printers just for their tapes and flog the labeller units for 99p on eBay?!!

 

The tape refills are about £6.00 on ebay for the brother labal machine

 

Not sure how good those cheap tapes are on Ebay, people have complained that they are poor quality.
I have only used the genuine tape so I wouldn't know.

 

Brother P Touch PT1005BTS Labelling Machine with 2 Free Tapes reduced from £34.99 to only £12.99 at Maplin http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/brother-p...apes-n13hh?C=AffilWin47868&clickref=298597705 Not much stock around but you might be lucky

 

Staples sell the refills in store and online, not overpriced if I remember correctly.
