Wal-Mart sells a similar unit made by a different company but basicly the same features and easy to use. If I can figure it out without the book anyone can do it. I started my panel labeling with the pre-printed set from Wicks for $10 or so and finished it up with the label maker after my wife bought one on sale at Target for $9.99. I think they sell at Wal-Mart in the $16 - $19 range. They have the same selection of (paper or plastic) tape colors. My panel is grey so I used the black print on clear tape. The DAR complimented me on the panel labeling for what that's worth. I've not had any problem with any of the labels trying to peel off. I even have labels near my gas caps that have gotten soaked in fuel and the print is still as clear as when I printed it and the labels are still stuck tight. No tendancy to peel up at the edges or anything. The brand name "Electro-Tag comes to mind but I'm not sure. They have several models to chose from and I've got the cheaper one. As always, your results may vary. :-) Larry Flesner
