<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all, <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m working on upgrading the INHS Insect Collection to QR-code accompanied catalog numbers, but wanted to eliminate the issue of having the QR code face up or down when on the insect pin,
<b><i>by printing the catalog number and the QR code on both sides of the label</i></b>. This would also help with printing labels for ethanol that often get flipped around inside a vial or jar. I know several other people now in the entomology community who
are interested in this moving forward, I’m looking on solutions that have worked or are likely to work for people. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here are my requirements:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- must be on archival entomology label paper (I know we’ve had a million discussions about this, but I’ve somewhat settled on the Buffington classic: 200g HP double sided gloss brochure paper)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- must be able to print QR codes and a human-readable catalog number (e.g. INHS Insect Collection 1000258, see attached) at high-resolution onto a label only 4mm tall and 15cm wide (pinned & slide specimens are the limiting factor, I don’t
expect as much problem printing catalog numbers for larger ethanol-vial catalog numbers)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- must be able to have above QR codes and human-readable catalog numbers at high resolution onto <b>BOTH sides </b>with enough precision to be cut out without loss of data on either sides
<b>(this is the main issue IMO, as many other double-sided solutions do not have to contend with such small labels, and the errors that come with duplex printing)</b><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
