just wondering what are people’s recommendation on labelling machines?

I’ve been looking at the following from screwfix:

https://www.screwflix..com/p/brother-pte110vp-electricians-label-printing-machine/3453x


Aside from that one they jump to £80 and then to £170
 
A shame as they had this one on offer for £53 last year,

I've got this one and it is a decent printer.
 
One you can connect to a PC etc, and use manufactures software is a must IMO. There's only so much you can set up from those crappy little screens.
 
I got the £25 one last month it’s good but it just makes me want the higher spec one with 24 mm labels and print from phone with app
But it will have to do for now if I knew better at time of purchase I would have gone for the better model
 
I think label machines are starting to be overused and also unsuitable for many environments..
So many times I’ve been to the likes of boiler rooms and been greeted with faded labels and others that have fell off..
Let’s get using traffolyte again
 
Don't pay £55 for the Brother one you linked to at Screwfix. They regularly have offers on these machines, I bought the bigger & better Brother one for that price when it was on a half-price offer from Screwfix.
 
Some of the larger labeling machines are quite heavy, but my one isn’t, he’s my brother
that should qualify for funniest post of the month. but as for screwfix, the road is long, with many a winding turn.
 
Just ordered one now I will have to talk someone into buying my 5 week old E110 with no case no rechargeable battery and only 12mm tape and two line maximum
Guys buy it quick it’s a Monday only deal

(screwfix one not mine )
 
Looking on e-bay there is a 10% saving code for the PTE550 wifi connected version, so it's under £150.00 if anyone is interested.

And even though their website says the PTE300VP is in stock they do not have any and not expecting a delivery for at least another month. o_O
 
Well it's arrived and it's a dam great lump of a thing and talk about complicated, need a degree in computer science to use it, and it only WiFi connects to iPads, iPhones etc not to a MacBook, all in all I think I have wasted my money.
