[Histonet] Cassette printers

[Cooper, Brian]

Good Morning Paula, 

All I've ever used is the Leica IPC Cassette printer across my last few institutions.  They are absolute workhorses; printing is fast and beautiful and the maintenance is really easy.  The only downsides I can think of is that the IPC has a large footprint, and the ink is really pricey.  You're supposed to change the cartridge every 3.5 months or 60,000 prints or so.  We never hit that volume so we're always throwing away ink!     

Thanks,

Good Morning Listers,
We are in the market for a new cassette printer.  Has anyone used the General Data LaserTrack FLEX system?  I'm interested in how well it actually prints on 3 sides of the cassettes.
Any input about any other vendors printers is helpful.  I have quotes from General Data, Sakura, and Leica.
Please provide your opinions and related experiences with each of the vendor's cassette printer.  We currently have a General Data CL12 that is dying a slow, painful death.
Thanks oodles for your help.

Paula Sicurello
