Hi Deborah,

Yikes!  It's 10am here, so if you are in the States, you
must be up late or early! (Smile) 

We have 3 Seiko personal label printers here in the office
and one at home.  You'll find details at:-

http://www.siibusinessproducts.com/products/printers.html

I've just had a quick look at the where to buy link, and
ComputersPlus to name but one supplier have them at between
$100 and $200.  For occasional use, the cheapest will more
than suffice.

We certainly would not be without ours.  They are a great
tool.

George.
