Stationery and School bags

[kaka]

My Dd’s school does not allow trolley bag. My Dd was once reprimanded by the disciplinary mistress for bringing trolley bag. She claimed that it was the school policy and my Dd was really upset.

Ya I noe watcha mean, janet.

Gotta use energizer batteries.

Hey buds,
I didn't want to 'kill' it with strong batteries...was thinking such a small machine shouldn't have to use Energizer right...how would I to know the Ikea ones cannot last at all. After 1 or 2 times, battery went FLAT :faint:

They have many versions of this portable or handheld labelling machines. I also saw another
brand called Dymo which looks pretty handy cos smaller like nets payment tool liddat but
cannot comment on it as i've never used it before. Happy with my BROTHER.

I am using Dymo. So far so good... one year already.

That's the model I have...did some homework before getting it.
Label maker should be affordable, low battery consumption and most impt, the labels must be affordable too. Fortunately, the 20% discount applies. So I usually get few colours at one go.

i bought the PT-90 at popular fair but i think they have 2 kinds of promotion for PT-90. 1 packe with a few colour tape + machine about $45(i think so cos din see the price as this set is totally sold out oos) and the other one $35.90 which includes one black and white tape catridge + $5 popular voucher + 1 free angry bird pouch.


i bought the PT-90 cos can print cartoons on the catridge with many fonts. i asked the person to show me how to use and relatively quite easy. i forgot to ask what kind of batteries though

Went to Bookfest today.

Yeah, the PT-90 looks good. $35 with voucher, but no Angry Birds pouch. Cannot resist the temptation, so bought 1 as a gift for my nephews and niece.

As for DS, he prefers Tz tape which doesn't fade and better quality. So, at the end, we bought a PT-1280 which comes with 2 tapes - 4m black on white and 8m black on yellow. Bundled price $57.

Was thinking of Dymo printers - thought it's good that it can print on paper, plastic, iron-on tapes. But the quality is about the same as the M tape, may fade too.

Just hope that DS won't pester me for Angry Birds stickers customized with English and Chinese names...

The Brother temp sale staff said only 10% discount for tapes at Bookfest. Can get 20% discount if buy at Popular outlets with the 20% discount voucher.
