[Nhcoll-l] Archival adhesive label maker?

[Haff, Tonya (NCMI, Crace)]

Hi Vanessa,

We use a thermal printer with archival quality stickers, and they work very well. They are great too for sticking onto plastic or metal surfaces because they can be pulled off easily without residue if you need to, but I must say I haven't tried that on our boxes and expect it wouldn't be as easy. The only thing is that the software is pretty clunky, and we have had to have our IT people out a few times to help with the set up and to keep it going. The stickers are also not cheap, but part of that is that we have to pay to have them imported from the US.


Cheers,

Tonya

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Archival adhesive label maker?


Hi All,



We are looking for a way to efficiently create labels for headers in our collection drawers that separate taxa. We ideally want something that prints off onto an adhesive, which can then be stuck onto the bottom of an archival box.  Does anyone happen to use or know of a type of printer and/or media that prints onto adhesive that is of archival quality? We are hoping for something like a label printer (Dymo, for example), rather than printing onto larger sheets and cutting.



Thank you!

Vanessa
