Friends of mine who have seen the results say they're next to worthless.
Hard to read, small, little control over graphics, etc.

You might want to consider one of the label kits you can get at membership
warehouses such as Price/Costco (that may be a West Coast provincial
company) or at Fry's at a respectable discount. They come with special
paper, die-cut for labels, that you put in your computer printer; software
that runs on both Wintel and Mac platforms; and a press for applying the
label accurately. The same friends I mentioned earlier use this kind of a
rig, and are well satisfied.
