I’m looking for an inexpensive label maker that can print small labels. I need to label various things around my house for my sanity (outlet/breaker mapping, coax endpoint mapping, etc).

I was going to buy a NIIMBOT D110, but then I saw in their FAQ that they put an IC (chip) into their labels and the printer won’t print if it can’t sense it. I really don’t want to support a company that DRMs their consumables, if I can help it.

Can anyone recommend a good, small, inexpensive label maker? Preferably one that doesn’t have sketchy DRM embedded.

    Just get a Dymo. They’re like $20-40 depending on the model and the ink carts are easy to find in bulk for hella cheap. They also don’t have any DRM so you can get 3rd party carts. I bought 12 pack of carts with my label maker 5 years ago and I haven’t even emptied the first cartridge yet, and I labeled fuckin’ everything in my apartment.
