[Shop-talk] Socket marking?

[Eric Russell]

I have both clear & white labels - 1/2" wide of their standard type 
(TZe?). The black printing on the white labels stands out more but the 
clear labels look better. They also advertise labels with high strength 
adhesive but I have not used that.

The default setting makes a very wide 'margin' (blank area before & 
after the printing). My cynical self assumes this is intentional to use 
up more tape forcing one to buy more refills. This can be changed to a 
narrow(er) margin.
