[Nhcoll-l] Alcohol safe InkJet printers

[Keel, William]

Please see the poster (link below) “Pigment Based Ink‐Jet Printers: Use in Collection Management at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution” that we presented at the 2016 SPNHC meeting.  All of the tests run in this study are still in process with no changes in the quality/stability of the black and red inks.

We still use our old HP 600 monochrome printers, but we have been told that HP stopped production and supply of cartridges last year.
Bill Moser, Geoff Williams, Diane Pitassy and colleagues at the Smithsonian have good results with HP Officejet Pro series (e.g. X476dn).

We have been told that the imprinting is similar to the old imprinting method of the HP 600 printers (shooting the ink into the printing medium) and is producing good results so far.

Lifespan surely will also depend on the quality of the paper, while the main issue will be cartridge supply and durability of the printer itself.

All the best
Dirk

I would be grateful for information (brand, model and cartridge number) about InkJet printers (not thermo or laser printers) that any of you have been using for labels going into alcohol, and where you have long term experience that the ink stays on the labels and doesn’t fade away, rub off or otherwise proves unreliable.

I presently use an HP DeskJet 1220C with cartridge # 45. It is quite satisfactory, but it is also, by now, a quite old machine, and I have checked that other HP printers using cartride # 45 are now discontinued too, so…..

Thanks in anticipation
