I have another version of the Dymo. Yep, the tapes cost an arm and a leg. They run out pretty quickly. On the other hand, omg my cabinets look amazing with all the labels. I would highly recommend a label maker to anyone looking to organize.
I like the variety of tapes and use them all. The white paper is the cheapest and easiest to read. The clear is the most elegant looking (for when your organizing project ends up in a publicly visible space). It also sticks to plastic better. The silver one is the least useful but does look kinda badass - it also doesn’t print well if your batteries are low. The white plastic sticks to stuff the best.
I buy the cartridges in bulk whenever they go on sale.
