Good label maker?

[dieselcruiserhead]

This is going to sounds pretty weak sauce... But I have a bunch of things mostly on the truck that I need to use a label maker for. Some custom wiring things and putting labels next to some switches.

I started reading on Staples.com and they have some that use a laminated tape that can be water proof. This sounds pretty good I suppose. For the switches I thought if there were one that didn't print the usual labels that look like crap then maybe that would be a good option as well. I also didn't want to spend $100 if possible, most are around $30 or $50 and these seem pretty reasonable and the prices vary from about $30 to $100.

thanks guys..

I've got the Staples one, we use it quite a bit and have been real happy with it. I don't remember it being $100 though? I thought it was more like $50 or 60 but I may have used some of my rewards...

they have something like 15-20 of them there, or at least online... So I guess that is sort of what I was asking. Staples is local so it would be nice to get one there if possible..

Man I don't remember that many at the store...

Just looked, mine is the Brother PT-1880, $50. Prints up to 3/4", 2 fonts... its been fine but we use it to label simple non-issue things ie folders, bins, etc.

Brother P-touch, we've got three of them at home (all use different tapes, too, darn it).

Those switch legends are pretty cool!

But I have another vote to add for the Brother system. Love mine, have labeled stuff under the hood and they have held up fine to exposure to water when washing the engine bay and splash up from off roading.
