OK I am done with the labels, phew !
I got better at it as I went along, I am refining my technique and workflow, it's getting quicker and less painful with each iteration...
"Chain" printing is good. I Printed all the lables in one mile long strip. Then I cut the labels one by one using my plastic template. This was a good idea.
In very little time it allows to :
1) Make cleaner cuts than the scissors (they are hopeless)
2) Adjust the justification of the text simply by moving the plastic template over the tape the way you wan it
3) and of course the most important, easily cut the tape precisely to 50mm so that all labels are exactly the width of the drawers.
I think I will further improve, by making my cutting template from transparent plastic rather than the opaque green of the margarine lid... This will let me see the tape while I am cutting it, to make sure the text justification is perfect. Right now it's a bit hit and miss...I am particularly annoyed by the two " Ferrite " labels, bottom left of the drawer unit, because they are off-center, closer to the RIGHT edge ! Looks weird, makes me feel uncomfortable... triggers my OCD somehow !
Think I will redo them....
Also need a cutting mat and scalpel.. definitely... it's on my short/mid-term buying list.
Anyway, for a first attempt, it looks decent enough. better than a piece of masking tape with me hand writing on it with a marker.... that's for sure.
I can now go label the drawers that hold the electrolytic caps....
