Haven't done rfid yet.

But if you're looking for the vendor compliant formats, for most of the retailers, then you might want to check out Paxar/Monarch.

They did have/may still support most of the major retailer formats. Unfortunately, you also will need one of their printers, ribbons & paper stock. But their base software was from Loftware. You can use the software to drive another brand of printer, but you will have to make adjustments to the forms.

Loftware does require a dongle. But does sell a server $$$ based package. And the retailer formats came from Paxar. Unfortunately, some of the formats had been created for another model printer and had to be adjusted for our newer model.

Used it 3-4 years ago to support retail labels/tags for Nordstrom. Federated, Kohls. Sears Canada. Created sample barcode file on PC. Then created data on Universe, transferred csv data back to PC and the PC run/controlled all of the printer functions.

Make sure that your printer supports 2d and maxicode. Or the software won't do you any good.

Hello,

We are doing some research on label print software.  I would love to hear
some real-life testimonies from real users.  I've seen TL Ashford's product,
but it has to live on an as/400.  I'm looking for something that will live
either on our rs/6000 or a windows server.  I am envisioning a
"print-engine" that will live out on our network (or on our Unix box), that
we can send a message to (CSV, XML, whatever), and it will take our message,
map out the fields to the appropriate label format and print the label or
labels to the appropriate printer (DATAMAX, Zebra, Printronix, etc).
Some Requirements:

1. Generates an RFID encoded tag
2. Provides Vendor-Compliant label formats for major customers (Wal-Mart,
Target, etc)
3. WYSIWYG label design
4. Supports UPS Maxicode

Nice to have:

1. Web interface

Would love to hear your experiences.  Thanks.
