Earlier quoted context omitted.

Meanwhile once I bought a roll of blue painters' tape I started labeling freaking everything.

Painter’s tape is where I started, too… then I learned that gaffer’s tape comes in 1” rolls, and I’ve never looked back.

I went with the 47 mm wide roll of tape because that was the easiest to find on the shelf at the big box store. 3M painters tape because it will generally come off cleanly well past its rated time of like two weeks.

Is there a device you can recommend for printing (sticky) labels occasionally? I have a little Brother printer for those narrow little labels, one with a rubber keyboard, but would love something with sticky labels AND Linux connectivity. Something I could script when organizing my workspace, parts, ... to print the appropriate label.

I really like the Brother QL series with continuous tape. They are available in 62mm and 102mm widths.
