Hi All,
Can anyone recommend labels for my printer that are waterproof and long lasting?

Many thanks

As far as I can see that only prints paper. So you'd have to buy a laminator to make them water proof.
Aldi/Lidl sell cheap ones from time to time.

Brother sell a range of P - Touch adhesive label printers. One is hand operated; another works WiFi to a cellphone; and there is one which couples USB to a PC. Labels are interchangeable across the product range and are waterproof. Don't buy the elcheapo generic labels. They fade and peel off.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

I buy the cheapo ribbons for my P-touch which runs WiFi to my laptop.
I’ve not had any significant problems with them. I do have problems with the Brother tapes, essentially being that they are anything but cheapo.....

Which p-touch is it? I think I'll finally treat myself with one this year!

P-touch P750W is the one I've been using the last few years.
