The machine is a K-Sun 2001XLB. I bet I've had it for sure more than 10 years. They still make consumables for them but they are expensive. Pretty sure Epson bought out K-Sun but the cartridges are backwards compatible.

I have a P Touch Edge that I got from Amazon that prints on heat shrink. The heat shrink is a little expensive but it is worth it so all wires can be labeled.

I don't believe any of the shrink tube is adhesive from the KSun or Epson printers.

The P Touch ones are not adhesive lined, I did get some adhesive lines clear heat shrink to put over the label ones in places where I needed the extra protection.

That's what I was thinking. Put an adhesive layer under the labelled tube or as you did put clear over it.
I work on DOD electronics for the Navy and Marine Corps and we build and maintain and repair shipboard visual landing aid systems and we don't use adhesive heat shrink in most applications.
I do know though that it is optimum for most things.

I wish I had never started this thread. Ever since I looked up when I bought the label maker I started thinking "wonder what is new out there since mine is over 10 years old". Should have never asked myself that question.
Let me first state that this label maker works GREAT. It looks brand new. It does everything I need at the moment. I have lots of consumables for it.
So naturally I bought this:

If you knew me you'd just know that was a component of my personality. It's cool, I can afford it. I shall have it.
The good news is that all the consumables I have for my K-Sun machine work with the new Epson. That's a win because the consumable cartridges are pretty expensive.

Not really intending to sell it here. Probably give it to my gf or her sister or something. They are crazy crafty.
