Thermal printers are such irresistible gadgets :) I got a small one and use it for printing the QR code for my Facebook page and Revolut but have also labeled some spice jars and drawers with jewelry making supplies. It's also handy for price labels for art shows to put on big displays with solid surface, e.g. rotating earring/necklace display. This one (Munbyn) is bigger and has a lot more options. I love the holographic labels! When I was doing my research for buying such a printer, I found out that regular paper fades quickly but there are labels with longer ink duration.
ReplyDeleteThe holographic ones are my favorite too. And I can get carried away with all kinds of designs for biz and home use as you found!
DeleteThis is very neat Pearl and you've made some very lovely looking labels with it!
ReplyDeleteI too have a small one and use it for printing tags for my jewelry. I learned about 40 years ago that hand printed tags do NOT make it easy to sell something that has a high price tag on it.
As I've mentioned before - my parents were furriers and had a store for 50 some years. When they hand printed tags they were constantly inundated with people asking for a 'better price'. When we switched to printed labels with codes on them we hardly got asked that question again.
When I started making jewelry I immediately got my label printer and have not experienced being asked for a 'better price'.
The more professional your tags are the more people notice without really noticing.
So pleased you made the point that professional labels are much much better! Even my kitchen spice jars look like they cost plenty!
