[Histonet] Are those sites using the Thermo Fisher Slide Mate slide printer also using Thermo slides?

[Ian R Bernard]

We have also acquired a Thermo Fisher slide mate/micro writer in Mar/Apr of this year. We have yet to have them work and consistently.  The printing quality despite the type slides used is inconsistent.  Nevertheless, I am giving them opportunity to fix it since we have invested money.

Sandra

We had one slide mate that we purchased few years back, we had problems from the beginning with both fisher and other slides, right now the machine is sitting in a cabinet not being used.  To me we found it very unreliable with respects to print quality.

I just purchased 6 Slide Mates.  We just began using them yesterday.



Are any of you using slides that are NOT Fisher slides on your SlideMates?



When you respond, could you answer the following questions?

a)      Is the print job consistently satisfactory?

b)      How long have had your SlideMate(s)?

c)       What difficulties did you have, getting it to consistently
print well?

d)      Approximately how many slides per day you are printing on (each)
SlideMate?



Thanks,
