I have been using the DuroPro label printer. We print the labels in the
office and take them to the site. Good flexibility with minimal waste.
Thesoftware is clunky, but you can definitely get thelabel you want.
Good technical support. We have been printing in white lettering on red
background, which really works for most inspectors and label requirements.

Wrenches,
What are you using for an onsite label maker, as opposed to labels you
have pre made or ordered?
I'm in the market for a new one.
I've been using a Brady IDxpert (
https://www.bradyid.com/en-us/products/printers-barcode-scanners-and-laminators/portable-printers-and-accessories/idxpert-labeling-printer-and-accessories )
that has been discontinued however the cartridges are still available.
Some things I didn't like about this one was....
-- that the small screen display made it impossible to oversee the
entire label before printing it, so it was difficult to know if, for
example, your numbers were lining up on different lines...meaning if
you were listing voltages and currents, each on its own line, then it
was difficult to get the numbers to line up (if you care about a neat
looking label, which I do)
--it creates a lot of waste material like unprinted label material
before and after the printed portion. The cartridges are not cheap so
that doesn't help.
--it is not very user-friendly until you are quite familiar with
it...to get the font sizes right, bold/regular font, and the above
mentioned issue with lining things up. This again, creates a lot of
wasted label material.
Cheers,
