Hi Laura - We print all of our slides using the Leica printers. Even batch cut control slides are pre-printed. The only time we write on the slides is if we cut patient tissue applied to the control slide for IHC staining. Then we will add the Block ID and patient name by hand to the control slide, but a barcode label with all patient information is applied to the slide for processing. I've not had good results sending stained or unstained slides though the printer. I hope this helps. Regards, Terri

Labeling Slides (Bliven, Laura M) Message: 2 Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2015 17:44:08 +0000 From: "Bliven, Laura M" <bliven.la...@marshfieldclinic.org> Subject: [Histonet] Labeling Slides Does anyone label histology slides (H&E's, special stains, or IHC slides) without writing on the slide itself? If you have a control section on a slide and are placing the patient tissue also on the slide, would you ever run the control slide through a slide printer?
