I  use a dot matrix printer; my assistant uses a laser printer. (Reasons explained off-list).  I cannot see much advantage in the output of the latter  and the quantum of time devoted to set up was considerable.  IW

Subject: [SERIALST] HOW MANY PEOPLE USE DOT MATRIX PRINTERS FOR LABELS?
Importance: High

Can I PLEASE have urgent feedback on an informal survey of label machine usage!  We are trying to find out if it is best practice to use this or other  types of printers.

SPECIFICALLY get a sense of how many users are currently using dot matrix or other printers for label making.

We have about 2000 titles and we need to find the best print solutions for about 1,000 pieces of labeling per month.

Please send replies to my email and I will reply on receipt.

Thanks very much, any comments on the usage trends you know of would really  help.
