Got mine in today. Played with it for awhile with the white ink and am a little less than pleased. With less that 100 marks done, the unit does'nt seem to make clean marks.
Maybe its me, or the cable jacket, or possibly this thing needs to be worked in a little more. It's got potential if I can get it to make clean marks.

And after further use, I believe this is a waste of money. Ink will rub off even after setting for 3+ days, marks after continued use do not improve. Most marks made are illegible.
They did send a free J hook along, but I never use them. The construction on those is pretty nice.
IMO, faster,cheaper,easier to sharpie.

I wasn't bringing up compliance, I was just giving a plain old review.
It's faster than making labels with EasyMark (Panduit) and easier to do than ripping the booklet numbers.
The key might be to make 20 or so marks along the cable, more than one will be 100% legible, but not all.
Any other owners have input?

They must have paid $10,000 for that 3 minute promo, but they still misspelled the word "extremely" at 02:19.
My opinion, as usual, is "FAIL" if you can't even proof-read your own material.

I would be interested in hearing what others who have used it think of the product

I have some Cat5e made by Windy City Wire that has markings on the jacket and you can just circle the number of the cable...I think Honeywell does that also.
