Got the label maker yesterday. Just had time to unpack it and look it over. This thing is pretty big. But being an "industrial" label maker it's full of options. I line the case which can hold a bunch of extra label cartridges. It has a rechargeable battery. Plus, you can also use 6 AA batteries if necessary. Which is a nice feature. The shrink tube option is a pretty nice option also. I'll have some time this weekend to do some test printing with the shrink tube on some wire. I'll post some results when I'm done.
