Word from the VAR we bought our Z4M from was that Zebra DOES care. He recommended keeping at least part of the roll of Zebra labels that came with the printer in order to put it back on if something broke. In particular if the print head went out within the warranty period. He said they would be sure to blame it on unapproved media. This is for Direct Thermal so I suppose same would be true on Thermal Transfer for both label and ribbon. Blatant anti-trust restraint of trade issue but not something the average small manufacturer can protest.
We get ours from a local supplies jobber of whcih any large metro area will have several. Find the lowest price then if any increase shop around again. Very common to pitch a low price for a few orders then creep up. As important to us though is 24 hour (often 4 hour) delivery.

Check any Brady distributor if you don't mind paying premium prices:
http://www.bradyid.com/web/SiteBuilder/BradyiISBv1r0.nsf/FLV/FindDistributor
I am sure there are other outlets available online that can sell you similar
labels for much less than brand name Brady labels. As long as you have a
general idea of your label size and material, someone will be able to sell
it to you.
Zebra machines are pretty much bullet proof, I am sure they don't mind
printing on cheap labels.

For those of you using Zebra label printers, where do you get your
labels? I'm in the process of getting quotes and would appreciate any
leads with competitive pricing.
