<br><div dir="ltr">Many collections have been using b&w text from inkjet printers and impact printers for at least 2 decades. For a long time, Entoprint was used to produce labels on MacOS computers (a program I marketed in the early 1990s) - and is still available from the software developer online for free. However, most labels are easily produced via any word-processing program or as a label from a database program.<div>
It has long been established to NOT use laser printers, as the plasticized carbon will lift off the paper under various conditions, as well as erode from the paper when handled. There is probably a body of work online somewhere in the Herpetology and Ichtyology realm where this has all been worked out.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello dear colleagues,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An old question: best system for labeling of alcohol-preserved specimens: inks, printers, papers... Any new answers/solutions? We still use manual system with Indian ink on bill paper, this is secure but labored. Any mechanized system more
efficient and long term reliable?<u></u><u></u></p>
