[Evergreen-catalogers] FW: Spine Labels

[Kean XL]

I've been exploring solutions for our library as well, and I understand the
challenges you're facing. We use a Microline 320 Turbo. I've noticed that
many of the printers recommended are no longer in production.

>From my experience, if you're looking for labels that last, ink or resin is
the way to go. They tend to be more expensive than thermal prints, but
their durability is significantly better. Additionally, I've been testing
UV label protectors, which might help address the fading issue you're
experiencing with the DYMO printer labels.

For emergencies, I keep a Nelko Thermal printer on hand, which is much less
expensive.

I hope this information is helpful.
