label printing
by Lise Mitchell 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

Hi, Is anybody using a dymo printer for printing a spine label with a pocket label. Trying to figure out if there is label stock available. We have using a dot matrix printer and looking to switch to a newer printer before it gives up the ghost and have enjoyed the ability to printer a few labels at a time. Expect we will have to go to full sheet laser printing and just get used to waiting for bigger batches or re-feeding partial sheets. Have seen others using the Dymo printers but just for spine labels or just for pocket labels but not for both together. thanks, lise -- Lise Mitchell, Director Grand Ledge Area District Library 131 E. Jefferson Street Grand Ledge, MI 48837 gladldirector(a)gmail.com 517-622-3550 direct 517-627-7014 Library 517-627-6276 fax
