Hi Marta

We are still very happy with our thermal transfer printer label system here.  The material seems to be holding up extremely well in real world scenarios in wet collections for ichthyology and herpetology here and we are not seeing any of the issues highlighted in Gali's paper.  I have examined 10 year old labels from our collection and they look identical to a new label printed today.  Our Datamax printer has also held up extremely well.  We have had it for over 7 years and have not had a single tissue with it.  I do know that the printer that we have (the Datamax I-class Mark III 400dpi with ethernet and cutter options) has reached end of life and is no longer available but there are replacement options - see attached.  I do not however have any experience with these newer models.  I do however suspect that they are just as robust.  I also do not know what availability of these printers or the media is like in Europe.

The initial expense of this system can be daunting but I consider it money well spent and well worth it.

Hope that helps

Andy

Dear colleagues,
Any news regarding print system for wet collections? Thermal transfer printing using a thermal transfer printer and spun bound polyester labels is still the best option? And what about brands, Datamax is still the first choice? Also in Europe?
Thanks!
