Chris, re: 2) http://www.mobiletag.com/beta/en/
It is interesting to see that they have at last found an end-user use for the 2-dimensional bar code that is at least 15 years old now. I remembered Symbol demonstrating them to me then. I tried to get several clients to use 2-dimensional barcodes because of the huge amount of data they can potentially store, but 15 years ago we couldn't get any takers. Still not sure whether they will scan off the screen or are they using camera technology for these mobile tags. Kind regards, Andrew Ballantine. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Howe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 December 2006 15:09 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: GIF or PNG Products BarCodes While this isn't the reason why Jacques is currently needing an on screen barcode solution, there are at least a couple reasons why you would want it. 1) Send as part of an image proof to your package printer 2) http://www.mobiletag.com/beta/en/ Barcodes aren't just for breakfast anymore ;) --- Andrew Ballantine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Why on earth would anyone want to display barcodes > on the screen, since the > only purpose of a barcode is to provide machine > readable data by scanning?
