[RE-wrenches] Onsite label maker

[cwarfel]

I have been using the DuroPro label printer. We print the labels in the 
office and take them to the site.  Good flexibility with minimal waste. 
Thesoftware is clunky, but you can definitely get thelabel you want. 
Good technical support.  We have been printing in white lettering on red 
background, which really works for most inspectors and label requirements.
