Hi all,
Over the years the topic of how to make plant labels has come up numerous times. I have always responded that I made labels using old dot matrix prints, special UV ink and File Maker Pro. About a year ago my label manufacturer informed me they were no longer carrying the blank labels used in dot matrix printers. Over the last year there has been a scramble between growers buying the last of the blank labels, they are now gone. A while back my last dot matrix print died and I knew it was time to get out of the 80's and charge into the technology of the 90s. My 'new' Toshiba TEC thermal label printer fresh off eBay is scheduled to arrive today. I am planning to move label printing off the Mac environment to the PC/windows/Microsoft world. Does anyone have any experience with this type of printer? I think I am going store the label data in Access and drive the label making process from there but I am not sure and would love comments. I am so not ready for this. I guess the apple talk network comes down next.
