[Histonet] Slide printers (ink)

[Charles, Roger]

I would have to say yes since the slides must be stacked on top of each
other in the hopper.

Do any of these slide printers affect precut control tissue on the
charged
slides?

Roger- We have been using a sakura slide printer for a couple of years.
I
do
agree with your comments about the software - not user friendly at all
nor
is it intuitive. I have used Access database in the past without these
issues. I do not know about the labels, I don't think we've had that
issue.
Maybe it varies with the label. I don't quite understand your comment on
charged slides, as all of the slides we put thru the printer are charged
and
we have no issues with that. We use charged slides (Okando Plus) from
BBC
and Probe-On Plus slides from ThermoFisher. What brand of slides were
you
using & what issue did you have with the slide printer from the usage?
