[Histonet] Fisher SlideMate printers [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Hagon, Christopher (Health)]

Apparently the printheads don't like brands of cassettes made of harder plastic, the pins tend to pop out resulting in poor printing. I believe there is a list of 'approved cassettes' in the back of the manual. Or call your rep, they should be able to point you in the right direction. I think the expected life of the printheads is about 50,000 cassettes.

Hope that helps,

Has anyone had any issues with Fisher SlideMate slide printers and PrintMate cassettes printers? It seems like we are replacing print heads on the cassette printers far too often and the slide printers after only four weeks of use have already been replaced. I would be interested to hear if anyone else has experienced these problems.
Thanks,
Terri
