I'm switching all of mine to the Kincaide also
And I did use the PTouch labeler (I think mine is the 2700) and use the 1" tape. I usually buy my tape from ebay or amazon so it's a bit cheaper; not always though. I try and keep an eye out a few months before I know I need it so I can have time to find the deals. I have gotten the tape for as little as $9.00 by checking amazon and ebay.
