[Histonet] RE: ThermScientific HistoScreens-printing quality problems

[Nails, Felton]

This is an issue with the cassettes not your printer or ribbons.
If you take a straight edge and put it up against the edge of the cassette you will see that he cassette is concaving causing the styles to loose contact with the cassette.
It is more of a problem at the middle top edge of the cassette. It is only with the histoscreen cassettes and I bet Thermo is telling you that this is the first they are hearing about this problem.

Subject: [Histonet] ThermScientific HistoScreens-printing quality problems

Hi
 
I am looking for help with a cassette printing problem that we are experiencing.  We use the Thermo Histo Screen cassettes and the Surgipath  VCP 2001 cassette printer.  Case numbers are quite smudged or missing completely when the batch has finished processing.  This is only happening to the HistoScreens because we also use a routine cassette from another manufacturer and there are no problems with print quality.  I have switched lot numbers of the printer ink ribbon and continue to have problems.  It is not happening with every cassette on the batch so I do not believe it to be the printer itself.  
Is any one else experiencing printing quality issues with these cassettes?
your help is appreciated,
