I want to be able to mark up draws and storage units but I'd like it
to be a bit bigger than the fairly narrow thermal tapes on my handheld
Dymo 'LetraTag' (LT-100H) machines and tape not individual labels (and
portable) than my Dymo label printer (450?) whilst being affordable
(to buy and consumables) please?

I have a Brother pTouch 7600 label machine

Googles Ah, that looks a pretty powerful tool and might have been at
the top end of my price range (new) at about £110 but looks to be
obsolete, replaced by the PT-E550WVP at quite a bit more money. ;-(

for which I can get tape in
various widths (6-24mm).

It looks like 18mm machines may be the best VFM (new) with the PT-D400
around 50 quid on Amazon.

Bettery operated so I take it to the job. I got
it years ago at a Tool Fair, but you can get them at CPC (which is where I
get my labelling tape.

They don't seem to stock many of that type of model (battery powered)
though.

SWMBO has a simpler beast (which only takes one size
of label) which she uses extensively in the garden.

Yeah, I've used my two Dymo LetraTag models (I was given Dads when he
passed away) for all sorts of things (the plastic tapes can ping off
the wrong surfaces though) but the tapes are only 12mm wide and on
the biggest output size the characters are only about 5mm high. ;-(

I wanted something that was a bit bolder and 18mm could be big enough.
24mm capacity would be nice of course. ;-)
