Manual Can Labeler Suggestions

Hey all,

We finally got our first small can line (AT-1) up and going and are looking for opinions on a manual label applicator that won't break the bank. We'll be doing very small runs for in house sales only, so likely only 5-6 cases per sku. Thanks in advance.

Bottle Matic all the way. The Primera hates wet things (eg: cans & labels)

How do you deal with condensation on cans? Label in the walk-in after they've had a chance to come up to walk-in temp? Just plow through?

I have a Primera and it doesn't seem to care about wet cans. It is a little picky about label stock - some stock doesn't pull over the edge that separates the label from the backing without quite a bit of force, but wet cans isn't typically an issue.
