Re: [ECOLOG-L] voucher tags
Hi Bruno, BioQuip in California sells Resistall label paper, which they claim is safe to use with formalin. I haven't tried it in formalin, but I've used it in alcohol after laser-printing labels, and it seems to hold up well. They also sell Pigma Micron pens that withstand alcohol (you may be able to find the same pens cheaper at an art supply store). They do ship internationally. http://www.bioquip.com/search/DispProduct.asp?pid=1223RA Good luck!

Re: [ECOLOG-L] voucher tags
I've had some success with REVLAR papers of varying thickness from RELYCO. The paper holds up well in the Amazon and should do OK in formalin, but I don't know if the preservative will dissolve the ink you use. Good luck!
