<div class="moz-cite-prefix">... we had some cracking of spun bound
polyester of labels where we had specimens on loan, after they got
exposed to our alcohol for approx. 1 year. But this was few single
labels only so far. Have no details on their system, but will look
into this for the fluid best practice.<br>
<br>
The labels Andy sent me some time back do well on my window sill;
but this is a different polyester material.<br>
<br>
In general, polyester labels are rather rigid; they may not be the
first choice if they could get into direct contact with fragile
specimens (e.g. they could break off antennas of insects or poke
into jelly fish when labelling jars). But as said, it is surely
worth to do some testing first and they opt for what seems most
suited for your purpose.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">The gold standard for wet collections is
the thermal transfer printer and spun bound polyester media
system that a number of museums have been using for some time
now. We have been using it in our ichthyology and herpetology
collections for over 15 years and have been extremely happy
with them – no fading, yellowing, cracking or any
deterioration in a number of different environments – ethanol,
isopropanol, formalin, glycerin – pure and with specimen
associated oils and contaminants.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have had an informal test ongoing on my
window ledge for about 11 years now with labels in all
solutions in direct sunlight and the labels still look as new.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Attached is information about the printer,
the pricing from Alpha Systems and an article I wrote for the
SPNHC newsletter some time back.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As Dirk mentioned there was some worry a
while back about labels not standing up to certain fluids but
this was traced back to a batch of incorrect ribbon that was
shipped to various users.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy to provide further details if you are
interested or ship you some sample labels to try.<o:p></o:p></p>

some of the ink (mainly from forcept or vial mouth). The
label ink doesn’t bleed once immersed but I am still
concerned with the long term viability of these labels.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
