I've read many of the post relating as to WHY a label maker is an integral part of the GTD system and got some great tips/tricks on actual filing methods, and am planning on getting a new label maker.

I have a technical question now. I already have a lower priced label maker like this type and the issue with it is the leading and lagging excess white-space for each label is such a waste of the actual label and a person goes through label tape very quickly. For example if I typed the words 'ALPHABETIZED LABELS' it would look like this on the label:

[__________________ALPHABETIZED LABELS__________________] <---CUT HERE

Are there any higher-end label makers people recommend that if I print something it's not wasting so much tape? So it would look like this:

[_____ALPHABETIZED LABELS_____] <---CUT HERE

Or is this just the way it is with handheld/desktop label makers?

Thanks for any advice.
