[Histonet] thermal printer microscope labels

[Horn, Hazel V]

Just remember that some thermal labels will fade over time.   Be sure your label will still be legible in 10 years.

The key thing to note with slide labels is that it's not JUST the label.
It's the combination of the label, ribbon, and printer.

As an LIS vendor, I've heard very, very good things about General Data, and
I do know that GD will sell you the label, ribbon, printer and even the bar
code scanner.

If you have any further questions, feel free to email me.

Does anyone have experience with printed plastic labels for microscope
slides that are claimed to be resistant to various solvents and chemical
used in histolology?  If so what product do you use?  One company (General
Data) apparently has a special version of their label that is compatible
with heat-based antigen unmasking steps...  Any experience there as well?  

Appreciate the feedback

Thanks
