[NHCOLL-L:2101] Information on permanent ink for printer ribbons

[Alexandra M. Snyder]

It appears that Access Computer Printer Products, the vendor in Maryland 
that sells nonbleed, ethanol resistant ink for impact printer ribbons, has 
"disappeared."  Formerly associated with Automated Office Products, the 
developer left that business in 2001 to sell his product through Access 
Computer Printer Products.  Many museums using impact printers to produce 
labels for jars of fishes or herps have used this ink.   The telephone 
number is out of service and I have sent a message to the email address, 
but have not heard back.  I called Automated Office Products to see if they 
knew what happened to Access and Kathy (who is an old employee of 
Automated) told me she did not know what happened, that she has not heard 
of anything.  Apparently, she has received phone calls from other museum 
workers.  And, no, Automated will not be carrying the product again.

Does anyone on the list know anything more?
