- Brother PT 1230CP Label Printer -

 

 

If you only print an occasional label, the small hand held label maker you are probably using will work fine, but if you print labels frequently, you might want to consider the Brother PC connected label printer pictured above. It is totally portable and requires no software. Simply plug it into any pc and start printing labels immediately. Here is the description from the Brother website:
