Becky, the label makers print in different size fonts, and I haven't found any of the fonts to be too small to read on a marker. Mine only takes 1/2 inch tape, and if it is a really long name, I'll make two rows with larger print. But, I only put the name of the daylily on the tag. If you are wanting to put a lot more information on there, the 1 inch tape is going to be more useful to you. I've never once wished that I had the hybridizers name on the tag, nor have I wished I had any of the stats on the tag. To me, it is useless information when looking to see which flower it it. The only other thing I add is whether it is a dip or a tet, but I add that with a pen in the bottom corner of the marker. Everyone does things a little differently though!
