Desktop label maker for banners

You don't come from the sign industry

 

There are many label printers capable of that.. zebra, cab, toshiba..

 

Look at Brady. I have a BMP61 (Mobile w/ Wifi) but they have a wide selection of desktop also.

 

It is helpful. You don't create a banner with a label maker. Wrong term, wrong material.

 

That is a label, not a banner. You can't make a 4' X 10' banner and hang it on the side of a building with a label maker.

 

Are you kidding? What does it matter, its a choice of terminology!
Do you call Tissue paper, Kleenex? Do you call sticky back notepaper, Post-its? Do you call Cotton Swabs, Q-tips?

The biggest question is, could you decipher what he was asking from his improper use of terminology?

 

It does matter, they are completely different. How would you feel like someone told you to buy a machine for a couple thousand bucks and then it didn't do what you wanted?

 

It's kinda like some people here, are sign makers and some people SAY...... they are. Wonder which term best fits sam ?? It's all in how you perceive it.

 

The crutch of the English language is that it is not precise, it allows for multiple descriptors for the same object. Our job as English speakers is to decipher those descriptors into the proper image of the object. I'm not arguing the symantics with you as I share your frustrations of improper description, but I also know that people may not have the same experience as us and are learning with the tools they have available to them.

 

As long as we're being picky about language, even the Brother web page the OP linked doesn't call them banners. Here's the title of the page, copy and pasted:
How do I create a Banner Label using DK-22205 or similar?

And at the end of the instructions:
Completed label


Peel the printed label from backing and apply the label.

So in this case, the word "banner" is not being used as a noun, but an adjective.

 

Someone should make up a Sign Maker's Style Guide like the news and print guys have so we know what words and phrases are approved for use.

 

I think the full terminology that is being overlooked is "banner label" as in "adjective noun" where banner is a method of printing off of a roll, and has enough memory to store a print that is longer than the label maker is wide, therefore they needed advanced terminology to differentiate the capabilities of the machine.

Something like this could work, depending on your actual needs. In my experience, most removable labels are not going to stand up to the elements, and could turn a batch of nicely printed banners into a mess of unlabeled sticky tarps.

 

This is great ! A customer could order an 4 x 8 banner and prepay . When he comes to pick it up , I hand him a 4" x 8 " "Banner " .

 

So, you're looking more for a template/pattern maker ?? Do you have any plotting/cutting equipment at all ?? Or even a printer of some sorts ??
