We
are looking at changing the specifications for our call number labels. Our tech
services staff are currently using ink jet printers and Gaylord Perma-Plus
foil-backed labels 7017. My primary concern is that the ink jet toner is not
very durable (Hewlett Packard, but I don’t know which ink). Although we
are in the process from switching from PVC to Mylar “label
protectors,” I am looking for something that does not require any
protection. It has taken some time to phase in changes in physical processing,
since these processes are not generally managed by the Preservation section. I
would love to hear that there is a water-resistant, abrasion-resistant, chemically
stable option that does not require “protectors.” I asked our tech
services department to look into this, but they were not able to provide any
concrete suggestions (and seem unwilling to do their own research). I read the
previous postings about Zebra printers with some interest, and I would love to
know what is working at other institutions. Valinda
