Krister,
The labels are printed on a laminated and waterproof tape that has a glue that is walso waterproof and it sticks to standard labels. I have tried sheets of labels in a inkjet and a laser printer but all fade very quickly, if fact the inkjet washes off. I have found this method the most durable so far.

Re: Durable labels
Hi,
I tought it was to god to be true. I know what the tape for this printer costs. It can be OK for smaller quantity of labels.

Re: Durable labels
Hi!
I bought a brother P-Touch 220 on ebay for ?25 inc P&P. I got 2 tapes with it. I bought another tape again on ebay for ?8.13 inc P&P. I have bought more tapes by mail order.
I am happy with the quality of the finish of the print on the 220, so I will keep my eyes peeled for more cheap tapes on ebay.
The plastic labels I use I bought again on ebay. These are in packs of 25 multicolour labels.
If anyone wants more info email me privately.
