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.
