Giles, I use two different Label Makers from Brother both are what they call their P-Touch label printers, the other label printers they have are not what you want.
The two models I have are the PT-1500PC, which is designed to work with a Mac or PC and will take up to 1 inch tape and can easily be seen. I also have a PT-1950,a which takes up to 3/4 inch tape and has a built in key pad so you can type directly on it or hook it up to a PC. The TZ tapes that are recommended for use with them are laminated and can be bought in several formats. Look at the following URL and you will see all the P-Touch printers and information on the tapes. http://www.brother-usa.com/ptouch/ You can purchase them at a variety of places, I find Amazon.com is one of the best places to buy the printers and tapes. I use the TZ 1/2"W (BRTTZFX231) for labeling my plants, they are the ones I have found are not fading in my greenhouse or even in a when the plants are put outside over the summer.
