Hello all, Just to add another data point, we also print labels using Dymos, and we've used the following combo for a few years to good effect:

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 Most things are replaced or withdrawn within 10 years. A.

We need to replace it as soon as possible. I've seen the survey that was taken on printers before the last upgrade; however the last upgrade did not work well with our microline. What I need to know is which printers have worked well since the upgrade. Any and all information on the printers you are using and how they work with Evergreen at this point would be greatly appreciated.
