      Wire Labels

      I'm having trouble keeping track of all my add on circuits so I'm thinking it's time I bought a label printer to label the wires with.
      Are there any brands out there that are exceptionally good for the money, or printers that I would be wise to stay away from?
      From what I have seen in my searches the big ticket item(s) are the label cartridges, not the printers themselves.

      The Dymo 4200 that prints on heatshrink tubing is pretty slick.

      We used this at work, great printer. We have to label each wire on industrial control circuits so gets used a lot!

      I have a Dymo Rhino that I use a ton. I buy labels in bulk from China and use good quality clear heatshrink over top of the printed labels. I use yellow w/ black printing as it seems to hold up better than white. It's only about 10-11 dollars a cartridge that way.
