I have used a now vintage Brother P-touch for years in the lab. The trick is to buy the industrial label tape rather than the standard. This is our go to label for everything from radioactive to humidity control items, which are kept in special cabinets. I have items I labeled as a student 20 years ago that are perfectly legible. 
 

If you need this item for your ptouch, pm me and I’ll send you the vendors. One is lab only, the other is a open to the public industrial supply.

 

can’t get the durable touch cartridges otherwise

1994 I bought a P-touch that takes 4-5 C cell batteries. I had a wall adapter. It seems like the adhesive on the tape rolls has dried out or something so I often put clear shipping tape over them. Rarely use it. The industrial tapes sound great.

I have the version from 2010. Forward compatibility. Runs on four AAA.
