Hello Marilyn,

    I have a Brother P-Touch. Got it for about $80 at Staples a couple
    years ago, I guess. Wonderful investment! I think I've seen them for
    less since then. The one I have uses label tape up to 1/2" wide, and
    you can put up to four rows of text on it, depending on the font
    size. It's small then, but it's legible. You can store labels so you
    easily print them regularly, and I have the first saved one as my
    price label- two rows, item number & then price - and after I pull
    up that saved one (just a couple key strokes), I just update the info
    to my current piece. The formatting is saved in that, though, so I
    don't have to think about it. I did discover that the slightly
    skinnier tape, 3/8", I guess, fits perfectly on the little string
    tags, so I just print it out (if you're doing a bunch, you don't have
    to have it cut them off each time, just print, print, print, etc,
    until you're done, then cut them off as needed), cut it right before
    & right after the text, and it fits on the tag without any trimming.
    If you're putting labels on something else that's not so small, then
    it's even easier! You can get different colors, too - regular black
    on white, red on white, black on yellow, etc, and perhaps even one
    with a clear tape. In addition to using them for my jewelry tags
    (yes, it looks much more professional then back when I hand-wrote,
    however neatly, directly on those string tags), I use them to price
    other things, just sticking them right on the item. Oh, and then
    there's all the use it gets labeling things in my studio, too!
