Hey everyone,
Many moons ago I worked in a place where we had a Brady LS2000 wire labeler. So long as the supplies were fresh it was great.
In the storage unit I have a Brady TLS2200. Supplies are expensive, but it works reasonably well. Unfortunately the battery is shot (gotta replace that).
It seems to me that as cheap as the Brother P-Touch type labelers have gotten that there might be some product by (Brady|Dymo|Brother|etc) that everyone uses and recommends these days which is (a) cheap enough that they can be deployed en masse rather than treated as a scarce resource, (b) hopefully runs on standard (such as AAA) battery types, and (c) has reasonably priced supplies.
Labeling cables is mostly what I'm interested in. The el-cheapo p-touch seems adequate to putting hostnames on machines.
Thoughts?

I'm still a big fan of the brady. The wrap-around self-laminating cable labels are really hard to beat. I don't even use the battery in mine... I just keep it plugged in to power. A $15 universal power supply from your local Fry's will do the trick. I don't know about the LS/TLS2200, mine is an IDEXPERT. Owen
