[Histonet] RE: Slide printing systems

[Jesus Ellin]

Have you looked at the type of slides you are using?  We have both instruments as we do have challenges with printing in the beginning , we now do not have issues

Subject: [Histonet] Slide printing systems

Good Morning,

We currently are using Thermo-Fisher print-mate and slide-mate.  I am not very happy with the printing of the slides.  Some days I feel like spend most of my time re-writing and labeling printed slides. Then when the units  are  sent out for repair and it arrives back it is not a whole lot better.  Before we get our new LIS system and our Docs will be scanning the bar code(that sometimes do not print) I need to find a better system.  I will not be able to deal with how often my name will be called out when the scanning of the slides fail.

I would like any input on other systems pros and cons that are currently being used in histology labs.   I know no system will be perfect but something has to be better.

Thanks, Janice
