Natalie, I am glad that you brought up the subject of wasting tape. I found out very quickly how much tape the Brother P-Touch labeler wastes. If I have more than one daylily name to make on the labeler, I put 5 spaces between the names of the daylilies and then cut them apart after printing.
@mom2cjemma, what type of labels are you using? I use the Brother P-Touch TZe tapes that Natalie uses. They are the same as TZ tapes, Brother just changed the packaging a few years ago to be more environmentally friendly. The TZe tapes are very durable.
I am thinking that since some of us use the galvanized markers and yet have different experiences with the way they perform, it almost has to be a difference in our soils.
Also, as far as the labels fading, I am wondering (if we use the same type of labels) if it makes a difference if the label is facing more upward or at an angle. My marker plates face at a slight angle to the ground, but I have seen others that are facing more upwards. Just throwing that out there.
