if you are getting it back in basically the same condition! I know the Leica is
pretty good but I am in research and can't spend that kind of money. I wish
there was a system that was good and not extremely expensive.

Subject: [Histonet] Slide printing systems
Good Morning,
We currently are using Thermo-Fisher print-mate and slide-mate. I am not very
happy with the printing of the slides. Some days I feel like spend most of my
time re-writing and labeling printed slides. Then when the units are sent out
for repair and it arrives back it is not a whole lot better. Before we get our
new LIS system and our Docs will be scanning the bar code(that sometimes do not
print) I need to find a better system. I will not be able to deal with how
often my name will be called out when the scanning of the slides fail.
I would like any input on other systems pros and cons that are currently being
used in histology labs. I know no system will be perfect but something has to
be better.
Thanks, Janice
