<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Andy,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">my cautioning remarks were not pro/con
ribbons or thermal transfer printers; as you say, this printing
system (thermal transfer) works pretty well in many collections.
The key question in this thread for me was the "end of life" and
the necessary changes this implies - either within the same
printing system, or in cases were you need to introduce a new
system, because it cannot be avoided. One option could be to
pre-print just a huge chunk of inventory numbers with the old
(established) system and to add these together with the new labels
- regardless if these new labels are produced with an entirely new
printing system, or within the same system (i.e. identical
printing media) but on a different printing device.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The devil is a squirrel - there might
be a tiny detail that is different, even when you stay within the
same system. And usually there is a strong tendency that such
things become obvious always 'afterwards'. Thus it might be worth
to consider precautionary steps for the transition, e.g. by taking
advantage of currently established - and proofed to be reliable -
printing systems and procedures. Such as the combination of
Datamax printers + SDR ribbons.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Maybe I misunderstood Jean-Marc's
email, but <span style="color:#1F497D">"SDR5+ CSO Resin Ribbon

the Zebra"</span> </div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">sounded to me like a B while he was
used to a A+ from the <span style="color:#1F497D">Datamax Mark II
</span>(reading between the lines <i>well, yes, results still
good but surely not as good as with the Datamax mark II</i>). We
have a lot of labels from the 1980ies were former staff was
experimenting with new labels; some of them collapse now
simultaneously - because the paper itself crumbles away. Somewhere
in the collection. And we have no overview which jars are
affected, but of course recognise this 'after' the label has
collapsed. It would have been just wonderful if they would have
just included the inventory number on the superb old labels they
used before. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="EmailStyle24">This printing
SYSTEM (thermal transfer) is fairly ubiquitously available
and there are a large number of printers and manufacturers
that produce compatible printers. This printing system is
used by a large number of communities and commercial
entities (airline industry for example) which negates the
chances that it will become obsolete any time soon. It is
the media and ribbon combination that is the critical
element here. Again, the SDR ribbon that is chemical
resistant is also ubiquitously available from multiple
manufacturers. However, the spun-bound polyester media
currently in use by many collections and supplied by Alpha
Systems is fairly proprietary and is the limiting factor
here. Alpha Systems has been naturally very cagey about the
exact makeup of the media so as to corner the market, but a
large number of collections are successfully using this
system in their collections and it not outside the realm of
possibility that we could find another supplier or suppliers
of the media to alleviate this problem if we really tried.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">one of the key challenges we all have to
face (and to some extent have to endure) is that
technological advance is an important economic driving
factor. The degree of sophistication usually increases the
exclusiveness (and often price) and limits or decreases the
number of possible alternatives. Sadly the rate of 'advance'
steadily accelerates, and finding alternatives that meet
same standards and quality becomes increasingly difficult or
- at some point - impossible.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Without becoming too philosophical, they
key question seems to be how reliant a collection wants to
be on (just) one printing system. Even reliable dinosaurs
(like good old HP 600 monochrome printers) will die out, if
production of cartridges is discontinued.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thus it might be worth to use two
entirely independent labelling systems (e.g. like in Paris
or Brussels), not only to increase independence, but also to
be able to verify efficiency and reliability of possible new
alternatives in parallel with existing systems. If I
remember correctly, that was one of the key recommendations
during the Labelling workshop at the SPNHC conference in
Leiden back in 2009.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This could include pre-printing of just
continuous inventory numbers with currently used reliable
labelling/printing systems if severe challenges can be
expected, e.g. because printers or consumables are phased
out. In this case if ribbons of labels produced with the new
printer would detach, the inventory number printed with the
old Datamax printer would still be in place.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

current 'satisfaction' can develop into a formidable
nightmare in short time ;-)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While shopping for a new printer, I was
told by a representative at Alpha Systems that Honeywell
will discontinue production of the popular I-class Datamax
series at the end of this year. Support will continue for
5 years. Has anyone had good or bad experiences they could
share with the CAB Squix (recommended by Alpha Systems) or
Zebra brand printers?<o:p></o:p></p>
