I did this once. 8.5x11 dot sticker sheet. In word made an invisible grid and entered in each square. Printed in ink jet printer. Not perfect and pain in the rump.
I have a 1/2 wide tape thermal label printer and found a direct thermal dot tape. Issue was the dots got stuck in the printer 50% of the time.
I now have dots sheets in multiple colors. I color code based on type of pep.

yeah i have a 125 vial box and its difficult to organize without names on top

Well, I ordered my first label maker using the Randy's affiliate link This is going to be put to some good use for sure.

@WisGal64 that little thermal nimbot is all you need. Great choice!

[jackie]

I should look into that. I ordered some labels off of ebay. They were fairly cheap, but it would be nice to do my own.

I ordered the liene sticker maker to up my label game. Instead I'm just making stickers.

First thing hubs says, "Now what did ya order?" I showed him the video and he said, cool, now I'll know where things are at in the kitchen LOL I said, well yes it can be used for that, and many other things, including our research, surprisingly, I didn't get "THE" look this time haha

I have a Brother Label Maker that I use for my pantry, garage, basement storage boxes, etc. But I really like the fonts and other stuff that people do with the Nimbot and whatever the etsy stores are using

@Randy said in Label Makers:

How do you print 2 different colors on one label with the m2?

[Randy]

@Commander make the label in the niimbot software. Copy whatever you want in another color to another template and remove it from the original. print color 1. Re roll the labels and reload the printer with the labels and a new tape. print color 2. You lose labels in this process because niimbot has rfid in each spool and counts how many youve used.

I have been super happy with the M2. Using a combo of Grok and ChatGPT… I was able to create a fun, fake company name, design a label, add the QR code, and any other info. I use this as a base template and add/modify info as needed. I was planning to do the color route, but was more than pleased with the outcome of this instead.

[Juan Doe]

Just received my M2. The only thing is that I would like a higher dpi? Don’t know why, could be my ocd, but I’m having a hard time believing the QR codes will work.
But I guess 300dpi is the new standard?

[Anthony]

@Juan-Doe My QR codes work, even on holographic paper, which makes it more challenging to read in general. I found the trick was to use a site like bitly.com to produce a shortened url for the original QR code, which simplifies the QR pattern and makes it easier for the camera to read. It works very well.

[MyB]

I’ve found if I crop my QR to about 1cm they scan while on the bottle. If I leave them large like the peptide critic label template they won’t scan when placed on the bottle.
