I have a bunch of specifications, "cookbooks", etc., bound with IBICO
"spiral" plastic combs.

I'd like to label them on the "spine" to ease finding them on my book
shelves.

Anyone know of such a label system?

Thanks!

How about the Brother P-touch, or Dymo tape labels. Not much else out
there. You can get custom printed combs, but I don't think that’s what
your after.

I got a little USB Brother P-touch labeler for something like $18 with
free shipping. It shows up as a mass memory device that contains a
simple application that you can paste your data to. There's also a
free app online from Brother that allows more complex stuff like bar
codes. It uses the same ($$) tapes as the handheld labelers, which I
also have, but allows you to use whatever TT font you want (even Comic
Sans or spitPapyrus, if you can stomach it).

Different widths are available, down to a 3.5mm (9/64) which is narrow
enough to label 300 mil DIPs or CD cases.

Big selection of tapes:

Thanks, Spehro, Here's what I have...

I can't tell from Brother's web site what tape type would be best.
What does "laminated" tape mean?
