Label Makers

@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

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.

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.

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.

@Commander do you or anyone pay for niimbot VIP? I get 3 free months with subscription.

[Commander]

I didn’t

Here are some labels I made on the M2…

[Juan Doe]

How do you get two colors?

[Commander]

If you look up a few posts Randy explained how to do it. You basically have to create 2 exact labels, 1 with the red print on it and 1 with the black print on it. Print 1 color, rewind the labels then “print over them” again with the other color. This is on the Nimbot M2.
Nimbot supposedly has a printer that will print 2 colors, I just have to figure out what model it is…

[WisGal64]

I created my first label, love this little label maker!

@Commander Thats hot
