Well...the Brady label makers themselves aren't exactly cheap either. ;) The TLS2200 runs around $700, IIRC. I realize that that's chump change for a large data center, but for smaller deployments, the price just isn't worth it. > When we recently > rolled out a new facility, the local contractor, who we hadn't worked > with before, showed up with SHEETS of cable-labels, using materials > and software from Panduit.

This sounds like a great alternative if you're labeling cables and don't want/need to splurge on a Brady and the cost differential makes it a really attractive sounding option. How do the Panduit labels hold up over time?
