[NHCOLL-L:2621] users of non-bleeding, ethanol resistant ink distributed by Access Computers- PLEASE RESPOND

[Jessica Rosales]

Please excuse this cross-posting.

This is for those of you who use the non-bleeding, ethanol resistant ink 
available through Access Computers.  Please let me know ASAP how many 
collections out there use it, and the approximate number of purchases per 
year (for each specific collection).

We (the ASIH Supplies & Practices subcommittee) are submitting this survey 
because we have been informed that the ink distributor is having 
difficulties making the ink available.  Although so far he seems reluctant 
to disclose the name/contact information of the manufacturer, we think it 
would be helpful to get a head count.  Then a letter from the S&P 
subcommittee (and possibly from SPNHC as well) could be drafted, so that 
both manufacturer and distributor will have an idea of how much of a demand 
there still is for this ink.  From there we would like to try to work with 
both the manufacturer and distributor to help resolve whatever 
conflicts/problems there may be.

We realize that collections are more and more heading towards thermal 
printing, but we would like to try to get this resolved if possible for 
those of you who currently use this ink.

Thank you for your time,

-Jess
