[Electronics-talk] best place to buy labels for the PenFriend

Thu Nov 27 02:07:37 UTC 2014

i get my labels at maxi-aids.com, as for a demo, just record your own voice 
and play it back, as the pen friend uses your own voice torecord labels


There are none so blind as those who will not see

>> I've not seen much of a price difference for the Pen Friend labels from

>> to the index card half.  I most often use paper clips to attach these

>> index card half and label to make it more durable and then use a hole 
>> punch
>> to put a hole in the index card on the edge opposite the Pen Friend

>> I then use a rubber band, twist tie, string, yarn, etc. to attach the

>> Friend label, the tape can be removed without damaging the card or 
>> PenFriend
>> label.  The Pen Friend reader has no problem reading the label through 
>> the
>> packing tape.
>>
>> I've got to say that I am very disappointed in the Pen Friend laundry
