In reference to plastic slide mount labeling: I have my local E-6 labs print my slide roll info (name, copyright, year, frame number, phone number, film roll number and film code type) right on the plastic Pakon mounts. They have it set up in the computer, and just change the roll number and film type code letters for me each time. This costs a little more, but it's worth it to me. I still use a fine line permanent marker (works great!) for writing individual shot info on each RR slide that I want to put it on, but for other subjects I just go by the computer printed roll and frame numbers to identify the slide info in a data base or job notes. The plastic mounts are great for something that is going to be scanned, separated (or Cibachromed). You just pop 'em open. And they project good, and NEVER get stuck in a slide tray!
I have been sending most of my Fuji Railroad shots on 35mm film to Fuji, Phoenix (can't beat that $3.09 a roll processing cost for hobby shots!) and they come back in nice cardboard mounts, but for local processing or when I want it back in a few hours, I am happy with the local lab's computer labeling. If nothing else, it saves me from stamping or sticking my name and copyright notice on every slide!
