Just a heads up, nimbot labeler on sale

[Chili777]

Do you buy a specific label for them?

I've got a few different labels but I'm not sure the sizes are conducive to wrapping 3ml vials. I think I read that 40mm x 20mm is the ideal dimensions for that task. The labels i have for my D11 are all 0.55" X 1.18" which is like 14mm x 30mm ish. Far from ideal but if I just wanted to get some basic labeling on them to know what's it would certainly accomplish the task.

I'm kind of at a crossroads on which way to go forward. If I need to buy new labels for the D11 would it be better to just get specific labels for freezing vials for my Brother Laser printer or invest that money into a M2 which is probably the ideal device for this purpose.

I assume I'll get the use out of the M2 to feel like I'm getting my money worth over the years to come.

I got the 12*40 clear labels for the vials, although Amazon was out of those when I ordered so I got them directly from Niimbot. They are also having a Black Friday sale. I also got these, which fit the caps perfectly: https://a.co/d/d3Xdx7R

If you can afford it as a fun hobby then I’d get the M2 in order to get various colors. If your printer is high enough quality it’s much cheaper to go that route and you can print as many colors as you want. The refill labels for the Niimbot aren’t cheap but if you want a dedicated label printer it’s not a bad idea to get one while they’re on sale. Download the app, select the printer you want to purchase and look in the mall to see which labels are available and how much they cost. Make sure you get thermal transfer if it’s going in the freezer, they are more durable.

This is a Niimbot image I took a screenshot of and inserted into my Dymo and it works fine.

Did you mean 14*40 by chance? I'm not seeing a 12*40 transparent even on the Niimbot site. they do list 14*40 for the D11 though, as does Amazon.

I wouldn't say my printer is very high quality. I mean it's a decent Brother laser but it's B&W so no color anyway. I saw that someone mentioned an Avery label you could feed through it that would be stabile in the freezer but they were kind of expensive. I can definitely afford it so I suppose I should just get the M2 and add it to my Niimbot app along with the existing D11. It sounds like that's going to make the labels that I likely will want to make eventually. I've seen some kewl pics of holographic labels with multiple colors printed on them (I think you had one, in fact) and I'm sure I'll want to have something like that even if not right meow. I always tend to go overboard on things so I should just plan for it and get an M2 on sale now.

My bad, sorry. I ordered the 14x30mm - 195 pieces from Niimbot directly. One of my group people told me that size fits very well on the vials.
