We have SoftPath 4.3 out print servers use version 4.2. We have Leica's IPC and IPS cassette and slide printers and print all our cassettes and slides (we print directly to the slides and do not use paper labels), including ThinPrep slides for the Imager. Leica's application specialists got with SoftPath and got it all working. We have no issues and are printing slides with 2d barcodes. The bar-coded slides work well on the BondMax IHC stainer and we are working on an interface for the Dako Artisan Link.
It's all been working well for us. What kind of slide and cassette printers are you using or considering using?

If so, do you know if it has the capability to produce bar-coded specimen labels? I am looking into various methods to reduce re-entry of case data and eliminate handwriting of cassettes and slides. I know Ventana's Vantage system can do this for histology, but we also have cytology processing in our lab. I would like to find something that would be uniform for both cytology and histology processing and interface with SoftPath. However, if SoftPath could do this, even better. Thank you in advance for any input.
