Best labeler for the server room

labelerserver-room

Right now, I've got a Brother P-touch labeler that prints four or five sizes of text on one long label. It has features such as italics and bold. It's…non-ideal.

What do you use in your server room? I have heard of labelers that will print vertically as well as horizontally, or which can produce labels for cable management as well. I also think it would be great to be able to produce barcodes for my tapes (LTO-3).

So basically, I would like a labeler that prints normal, can print cable labels, and can print barcodes. Unicorn optional.

Any ideas, or could you even suggest the best labeler for each solution?

We use a P-Touch PT-1600 for our labeling. It has just about every label format we have ever required and works well for servers, patch panels and cables. My only complaint is that P-Touch tape is expensive.

The barcode format supported on the PT-1600 are: Code 39, I-2/5, EAN13, EAN8, UPC-A, UPC-E, CODABAR, EAN128, CODE128.
