I also bought a label maker. Multiple years ago, in fact. It must be the 'using it' part I am missing.
I think I'm on my 5th label maker now. The first two were the old 'analog' Dymo embossing type miniature punch presses that were all the rage way back when.
I gave up on those when I started finding a bunch of labels just sitting on the floor all the time after they fell off of what they were previously stuck to. Then I went through a couple of newer Brother label makers when they started using thermal print heads instead. Those worked great for awhile too, until I started finding more labels all over the floor again. The last one started leaving blank streaks through the lettering when I would print a new label. I tried cleaning the print head a couple of times but it didn't help. I'm pretty sure a couple of the heating lines in the head died.
So now for #5 I've moved to an Epson printer a month or so ago. The reason being they have optional label cartridges available that have EXTRA industrial adhesive on the tape inside. If those labels start falling off... I'm going to start labeling everything with my MIG welders!
