[NHCOLL-L:918] Ink jet printer labels

[Andy Bentley]

There is a suplier for non-bleeding ink printer ribbons:

Automated Office Products, Inc.
9700-A Martin Luther King Jr. Hwy.
Lanham MD 20706-1837
1.800.673.8553 PH. for customer service
contact: Charley Chapman

I don't know if they do ink jet cartidges too but we used to get non-bleed
impact printer ribbons from them and I know that they do laser jet
cartridges too.  It may be worth your while contacting them to see what they
can do for you.  The impact printer ribbons were great - no bleeding at all.
We also used Byron Weston paper which is alcohol resistant but is acidic.
You can find details of this in the University products catalogue which is
online at www.universityproducts.com

The other option (if you have some money) is to think of purchasing a
thermal transfer printer and preservation tag stock from Alpha systems.
Thsi system is the ultimate for printing natural history collection labels.

Hope this helps
