E-TKT: anachronic label maker

Andrei Speridião - 2022 - andrei.cc

An open source label maker that fuses together both old and contemporary technology to create something as ubiquitous as... EMBOSSED LABELS!


By combining simple and widely available embossing tapes in a reliable mechanism with modern connectivity, E-TKT rescues a *would-be future* that did not happen, and at the same time *gets rid of the dependence on proprietary cartridges*, which are environmentally impacting & expensive.

# how does it work? An *ESP32* commands the label production and also serves an on demand web application (local) to any device connected in a local network. ***Neither internet is needed, nor installing any app.***
