(Note: The productivity community has a deep and frightening labeler fetish, primarily inspired by the tremendous GTD following. The claim - which I've experienced - is that labeling your paper files is magic. I include them for my one-on-one clients because they make filing faster and more pleasant over hand labeling. Try it!)
A quick little something different, I thought I'd share my thoughts on a new labeler DYMO kindly sent me. The
LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo (~$200,
Amazon link here) is a computer-connected labeler that holds two rolls at once so you can print a combination of labels like address, file, and postage, without having to switch them out each time. I installed it on my Mac (PC available too, of course), tried it a little bit, and boy is it fast! My
trusty old hand-held, while inexpensive, was whimpering a bit in the corner. No worries. This thing is what you'd want for an office that prints a mix of postage, addresses, and file labels all day long, or that prints a
lot of labels, such as for large mailing lists. Setup, documentation, and installation were fine. The application program was utilitarian, with basic Mac integration, but I found bugs in accessing Address Book data from within their program. Hopefully they'll iron them out.
I'm curious:
- Do you belong to the cult of the labeler?
- Do you prefer a hand-held or computer-based one?
- Got a geeky favorite you'd recommend?
