Best option for wire wrap labels,
My primary use for a label printer is to mark wires in industrial electrical cabinets. I need the type of label where the text is printed repeatedly perpendicular to the label direction, then wrapped around the wire. (NOT the “flag” type where the label is just folded in half over the wire.) This type of application requires the nylon cloth tape, which is available for most brands of label makers.
I had previously used a Brady IDpal, which had some advantages but was not very reliable. After comparing and reading reviews for the Rhino 5200 and Brother P-touch units, I decided to purchase the Rhino 5200. In short, I was disappointed in the wire wrap capability of the Rhino and ended up returning it. The literature claimed that it would print labels for wires as small as 22awg (which I often use), but I came to find out that the shortest wire wrap label it will print is 1-1/4″ long. Why on earth would you need 1-1/4″ of label to wrap around a wire only 1/16″ in diameter? For the short time I had it, I ended up trimming and wasting more label tape than I actually used.
Enter the Brady BMP21. The shortest wire wrap label it will print is 3/4″, which still can be longer than necessary for tiny wires, but it’s way better than the waste from the Rhino. Plus, the label cartridges are cheaper than Rhino and you can get 3/8″ tape (Rhino only goes down to 1/2″). I haven’t used many functions yet other than the wire wrap labels, but it seems like a rugged unit and I’m sure it will serve my purpose. The backlight is a nice touch. If you need wire wrap labels, the BMP21 would be my recommendation.
