My writing is appalling, I can barely read it myself next day! I have
been thinking of getting one of these labelling machines which will
produce clear labels which I can stick to the plastic 15mm wide stick in
plastic labels I use. Brother PT1005BTS and GL-200 seem suitable for
this, though what the difference is between them I am not sure. Has
anyone any experience of these, good or bad, or perhaps can recommend a
better product.

Don't know the Brother. I've just bought a Dymo LetraTag LT-100H. £17. It
comes with paper label tape but plactic is available which I have. I'm
trialing labels on my plot over the winter to see how they fair.

I use the brother GL-100 , Love it, bought my brother one for this
coming xmas. Check on ebay for sources of cheap refill tape.
Looking at the GL-200 I think you get a clearer idea of what the final
label will look like, before printing, but the end result is the
same, so how about buying the 'old' model, save yourself enough to buy
a few more refills.
Are you a 2012 Gamemaker too?

We use a Brother GL-100 for labels in our garden and out on the allotment.
They last years, actually none have shown any problems. Great product and
much better than the old Dymo tape where the machines broke on a regular
basis.

Thanks for the tips, your are absolutely spot on Derek, I got this reply
from an email query to Brother:
"The PT-1005 and the GL-200 are basically the same machine, just sold
into different markets.
The PT machine is aimed at office or home users, and the GL machine is
aimed at the gardening market (GL standing for Garden Labeller)
For example you will find the GL-200 for sale in garden centres, and the
other model in stationary stores etc.
They print the same, and take the same tapes, so basically buy which
ever machine is available the cheapest!
Found the PT1005BTS the cheapest,and at Maplin the cheapest offer, Just
purchased and now trying to get to grips with operating it!
