The nerd inside me, really likes this idea.
What are you using for a frontend ? :nerd:

it started off as an access database with simple access forms. this kept having endless issues so i eventually migrated to mysql and developed a .net app in visual studio.

im currently working on the BI side of it with crystal reports.

my newest addition is the costing module. trying to implement a method of picking X amount of recipes and enter the total volume per recipe and it needs to consolidate everything into the required ingredients and generate an order that i can hand to a supplier(s)
 

On topic, black marker does the job, but a label maker definitely makes it look more professional when carrying bottles and people want to know what you are Vape. Otherwise something I have pondered, not sure if it was mentioned already, is printing labels with the recipe on so you can quickly check back as you change between recipe revisions.

Off topic, been working my arse off on a deep fried icecream, care to share the recipe?

I got this little printer on Takealot a while ago, its relatively cheap and works great. There are a few fonts and styles that can be used, you can even add a border around the text.

Oh no, I see they are out of stock :(

:(Why o why did you have to post this? It`s going to haunt me until I get one:sweating:. TAKE-A-LOT will be getting daily e-mails, from me, enquiring about stock availability and I’ll have to put my DIY start on hold until it’s back in-stock:lipssealed:. Truth be told though I`m only making one recipe:oops: so how confusing can it get?:rolleyes:
 
Awesome printer and it has a qwerty keyboard for a great price.
That is the one thing I would have liked on the brother, a qwerty keyboard.
The new brother printers have a qwerty keyboard :)
 
Thanks all for the awesome advise and tips!!!

Looks like we have tons of solutions/ideas while some will stick with what works for them!

Awesome bunch of okes you are!!! (no, I really mean it LOL!)
 
I have the brother P-touch too,the labels go around R300 for 8m,but looks so much better than writing on the blank labels
 
I bought myself one of these bad boys on Friday:

I love this thing. It's also a thermal printer so I don't have to worry about ink. I sell juice to some people at work and labeling juice was always a pain. I'm still playing around with label ideas, but this is what I came up with after playing around for 20mins:

Taking a chance here but would you mind sharing your recipe?
If not, no worries...

Sure. It's a fairly simple one, but delicious:

Butterscotch (FW): 4%
Vanilla Custard v1 (Cap): 7%
Brown Sugar (TPA): 1%

Brown Sugar is crucial in this recipe. It brings out the Butterscotch nicely
 
Or go to a signage shop and ask them to whip up a little design and print a few pages. I would think you would still write on it though as your recipes will change. unless you vape the same juices all the time. which would work then,
