    We use DYMO and Zebra label printers, but use labels from DuraReady
    (<a href="https://duraready.com/index.php?p=home" target="_blank">https://duraready.com/index.php?p=home</a>). Their labels have a resin
    film which melts to the label rather than a chemical treatment, so
    the labels do not fade.<br>
    <br>
    Keep in mind that newer DYMO printers require the use of DYMO
    labels, so Zebra printers might be the better option if your DYMO
    printer is too new.<br>
