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>

I am in the process of looking for a spine label printer. We,
right now, use avery labels in our laser printer. This is
causing smearing and such on other printed items. I have been
asked to not print on partial sheets to keep this from
happening. I purchased a DYMO printer but the labels on them
fade very fast as we cover them with label protectors. </p>
