Product Description

You install high-end residential systems so your reputation deserves the highest caliber of label quality. The RhinoPRO 3000 portable represents an installer's dream: all the features you could need in a tool that's easy to handle and afford. A great example is the user-friendly hot keys for common applications like wire wrapping, flagging and distribution panels. With its intuitive, simple interface, the RhinoPRO 3000 will save you time every time you reach for it. And with its thermal-transfer printing, your labeling won't be compromised by moisture, heat, smearing, solvents or chemicals. The RhinoPro 3000 comes with an impact-resistant rubber bumper to survive a fall from your ladder or belt. We made it bright orange so it won't get lost in your truck. With super strong adhesives that stick and last in heavy-duty environments, RhinoPro tapes attach (and latch on) to curved, textured, and highly textured surfaces. Use flexible nylon or heat shrink tube labels for wire and cable marking, permanent polyester for a variety of flat and textured surfaces and metallized permanent polyester for asset tagging and other general identification applications. Most are easy-to-peel, split-back design. Prints on three label widths: 1/4" (6 mm), 3/8" (9 mm), and 1/2" (12 mm). This hard case kit option features all you need to get up and running quickly, including labels (2 packages), batteries (6 AA) and an AC power adapter plus a case to protect your printer in an industrial or rugged environment.

Telecommunications 101 - label everything! Imagine tracing unlabeled 25 pair cable under the unrelenting eye of the Middle Eastern sun or searching for unmarked and unlabeled fiber cable in a patch panel with hundreds of jumpers. I know, I know - the dummy that failed to label the cable should have a tone generator tie wrapped to his empty head for being stupid, and a continuous poke in the noggin with a bright fiber light as a courteous reminder that he or she screwed up - unfortunately, my method of recourse is limited. Because I've traced too many unlabeled cables here in Baghdad, the Rhino Pro 3000 has been a sexy little addition to my tool bag. The size and feel of the machine is beautiful and the label it produces adds just the right touch of professional umph to your installations or whatever you're doing at the time. And the price was unbelievable. Since I've used several different types of labelers I was willing and ready to pay more for this machine, but at a cost of a little over 100 bucks, the Rhino was clearly the best in its class. While I prefer to rate buys conservatively, this is far and away my most comfortable five star rating.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dont buy this unit, bad design, October 6, 2010

10 of us have this Rhino Pro 5000. My beef is the tape exiting the unit as it completes the printing process. It gets caught on the ridge as it exits, thus getting caught up inside the unit rendering the entire cartridge unusable. Furthermore, we purchased 50 boxes of tape. Each box contains 5 tapes. As the tapes sat in the office in a dry cool place, the tape now curls. If it does come out of the unit, it is very curly. To top it off, it is very hard to peel. I would look at another unit next time. Although this has great features, it is a pain to print out the tape and peel.

The Rhino Pro 3000 is without a doubt the best labeler in its class. To get any more features would only be appropriate if your job involved making exotic labels constantly all day long. For the occasional labeler, this is pretty much the best one I've ever seen. If I were just reviewing the labeler itself, this would be five stars. My only complaint about it is that the rubber boot that protects the labeler has to come off to exchange cartridges, which is a pain if you are frequently switching between label types (I do a lot of regular surface labels as well as heat-shrink tubing with mine, so I find myself switching cartridges a lot). In the end, I just leave the rubber jacket off and keep it in the hard case.

Which brings me to the central problem of this particular SKU: the hard case is ENORMOUS. The labeler takes up the central third of it, the rest is just foam. There's room for about 20+ cartridges in there if you really needed some serious variety on hand; I have five and the remaining room just seems cavernous. It takes up a lot more space in my shop than it needs to. If I were buying again, I'd save a few bucks and get the version without the hard case.
