Our volume, like yours, is also very low. We purchased 2 Datamax E-4203 label printers several months ago. Inexpensive and , so far, not a single problem. They are in a
relatively clean office environment directly off our plant. Even though our volume is very low, we purchased 2 of them and have them running on separate pc's so we would
have a backup in anticipation of the inevitable computer crash.
