<br>
always bickering with Andy here (Hi Andy ;-) <br>
<br>
- again, know your settings: this method works well for fluid
collections which e.g. use undenatured alcohol or were the
denaturing agent is not reactive against plastics. I would
definitely refrain to use this labelling method in our fish
collection as we have to use MEK denatured alcohol. MEK is a
highly aggressive and reactive ketone, which is very well known to
cracks down polymer-chains. <br>
<br>
European collections should be very careful here, especially in
the light of the new EU-directive EU No. 162/2013 which
prescribes even higher amounts of MEK for denaturing and
prescribes usage of MEK in those countries which used different
denaturing agents prior to 2013 (e.g. IMS / camphor).<br>
<br>
All the best<br>

Wet collections have been using this system for some time now for alcohol labels with very good results. We are printing on to a spun bound polyester using a thermal transfer printer and wax/resin ribbon. This is obviously not a sticky backed label kind of media but I am sure a similar kind of thing could be sourced. Attached is some information on the system and printer that we use as well as a price list from Alpha Systems, the company through we which we buy our supplies.
Happy to provide further information or label samples if needed
Andy

<pre wrap="">Hi folks,
We are looking for a print-on-demand (printing one label at a time)
method of annotating herbarium sheets. Can anyone share their
experience with thermal transfer label printers (_not_ direct thermal)
using wax resin ribbons and polypropylene labels? I am particularly
interested in the community's opinion on the likelihood that such
labels will be readable for the long term and will not break down.
We are considering the purchase of a Zebra GC420t printer, wax/resin
ribbons and polypropylene labels.
Thanks!
