Comments about Garden Labeler:
My only peeve with this unit is that you can't adjust the amount of tape you waste at the ends. I tried stringing words together and cutting the tape manually, so as to not waste 'leader' space, but you can type only 15 letters or spaces before it refuses to hold any more and you must print. I haven't used it on my outdoor labels yet, as I just received it, but other gardeners tell me the labels last for years without fading. That's its claim to fame. Hope it's true. I've made mad amounts of labels for outside.

Comments about Garden Labeler:
I need it to ID the plants in gardens used for teaching and home use. The directions are not easy, Do as instructed and it does not work, have to fiddle with it to get the results needed. It could very well be just me.

Comments about Garden Labeler:
This labeler works well enough. It is reasonably simple to use and makes the labels. However, it has two shortcomings: 1) The display screen technology is over 30 years out of date--the "print preview" function does not really preview what you're going to get on the final print out. 2) You can't italicize one line and not the other, a common need among gardeners printing Latin and common names.
Given the price of this printer, next time I would search for another with a better screen display.

Fits nicely in hand. Two different fonts, plus bold, italic, underline. Can print two lines. Different color & size tapes available directly from Brother website.
If you've ever used a Brother labeler before, you should have no trouble mastering this one within a few minutes.

I use this product to label the many herbs I store in dry and tincture form. Labels are clean and neat and sturdy.

I've used this to label plants in demonstration gardens as well as in schoolyard habitats. The labels stand up to the elements and adhere well to metal markers so long as the markers are clean when the labels are attached. (For reused markers, wipe off garden dirt.) It's also helpful to make the labels long enough so that they adhere end to end. Keep the directions/instructions handy. Beyond the more basic functions, most of us need to make reference to the "how-to" list. I'm quite satisfied with this product and have recommended it to fellow master gardeners.
