You might want to check their stuff out:</p>

</p><p class="MsoNormal">I believe the big desktop printer is between $1200 and $1800. They also have a handheld field printer but I don't know what it costs. The benefit is that you can get label stock with red and reflective backgrounds. I think both of these options are significantly more expensive than the P-touch Edge.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal">We have a Panduit LS8 printer and have been mostly happy with it although it is slow. The good news is that you can save commonly used labels in it:</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> My old Brady iD Pal field label maker has died and now Im looking for a replacement. I use this for wire labels as well as emergency equipment labels when we dont have the correct engraved plates. Im looking at the Brother P-Touch Edge but it has a great deal of waste for every print. Look for suggestions on what is working for you and are the labels reasonably priced? Please provide me with a make and model number. Thanks in advanced.</span></p>
