Label printer for CRU Drives

Post by gunnar »

This is not directly related to DCP-O-Matic but still DCP related so hopefully it can stay here.

I am preparing a DCP feature film to CRU drives and i was thinking about buying some label printer to be able to print out some stickers and put on the drive with info about the dcp and stuff like that.
I have been googling some printers and i am so lost in this, dont know what printer fits the best needs to print out stickers for cru drives.

Maybe someone here have some good advice?

Why don't you just use a normal printer with stickers on A4 sheets?

I installed a Dymo 450 label printer at a client. They needed it to print individual address labels from a database, or composed on the fly. For mass mailings, they would still use a laser printer with grouped stickers on A4 sheets, as it is faster and cheaper.

That Dymo works nicely though.

Good idea!
I don´t know i just didn't thought about buying A4 pages that have label sticker on then and print to it with regular printer.
Just went out and bought it.
It was way to much overthinking with some special label printer.

Thank you ;)
