[Histonet] RE: Vantange/ block printer

[Vanessa Perez]

We use one from general data.  Seems to work well with us, the only thing is you have to change the hopper when you want to change the cassette color.  We have learned to just batch all the specimens together that have same color cassette.   I believe you can get another model that has the rotating one that will change the hopper with the color you want (not sure though)

For those of you who have Vantage, which block printer do you use?  I've heard Leica has one with 3-6 hoppers that can print the 2D barcode on it pretty fast.  I currently have the TBS block printer, but I'm told it can print the bar code, but very slow...Any suggestions?

Thanks!
