[NHCOLL-L:5116] RE: Printing microslide labels

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

We have had great success with the Datamax line of printers that we use for our wet labels.  Hardy machine that has been working now for about 10 years without a hitch.  I have attached specs of the new line of printers (I series) from Datamax.  There is also a wide array of labeling materials out there that I am sure will fit the bill.  Brady has a great line of stuff specifically designed for harsh environments that are archival.  A quick search through their site for slide came up with the following http://www.bradyid.com/bradyid/catalog/productBrowseResultsView.do?searchWithinTerms=slide&navigationDescriptors=102122&exposedRefinements=102122.  There may be more.

 

Hope that helps

 

Andy

Dear SPNHC Cloud

 

Since my eyes and fingers have lost the acuity of youth, I am investigating options for machine-printing microscope slide labels from our database.  The first vendor I contacted has recommended the Zebra GX430T Printer which is capable of 300 DPI and uses a Xylene resistant ribbon (TC class).  Does anyone have experience with that machine or others they could recommend?  Caveats?

 

Thanks

Judith
