I've been using my old Brother P-touch,

I bet they still make the Dymo, a daisywheel punch that imprints 1/4

They do. I keep one on my boat for labeling things and they hold up
very well. Not as high tech as a P-Touch but very inexpensive and
durable. I think all of the big office supply chains carry them.
