[NHCOLL-L:2956] printing labels

[Gregory Watkins-Colwell]

Hi.  Recently there was some discussion here about laser printing 
labels for wet collections.  I'm wondering if anyone else uses the 
thermal printers like Alpha Systems.   I know they work for ethanol 
and I think also for formalin.  I don't know that I've ever seen them 
used for glycerin (cleared and stained specimens) or any of the more 
exciting solutions such as Bouin's.  Could they be used as an insert 
into a tissue tube, or would that interfere with the tissue sample in some way?

Has anyone ever used them in solutions other than formalin or ethanol?

Greg
