label problems

[Rob & Ryan]

Hey there gang! I enjoy every aspect of collecting, except labeling..
sometimes it seems as if though it never ends. We in addition to our
collection have a collectors nightmare. Hundreds and Hundreds of unspread
specimens awaiting relaxing and spreading.. who has the time to always do it
right away! We recently have started relaxing specimens and spreading them.
but the need for labels is outstanding. As technology takes over and even
sneaks into the lepidopterists world (this newsgroup is a good example) I
cant help but insist there is a way to do labels on the computer. I have
done them and they turn out fantastic! the use of acid free paper is no
problem at all.. but the use of indelible ink is. I have a newly acquired
Epson stylus colour 740, and would like to know if anyone has had any
success in the use of indelible inks in printers, or if anyone has used a
printing service.


happy collecting,
