[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] spine label printers

[Andrea Buntz Neiman]

The stock paper thermal labels for the Dymo LabelWriter 400 do fade very 
quickly, sometimes in a matter of months in my experience.  We cover 
them with a clear UV label protector which seems to alleviate this issue 
-- however, take this with a grain of salt, because my particular 
library is unlikely to keep most things in the collection for the very 
long term.  Most things are replaced or withdrawn within 10 years.
