RE: [Histonet] blocks processed in plastic
Hello Nancy! What type of plastic blocks are you wanting to cut? May I also ask what type of specimens are contained within the blocks. Without much information on what specifically you are working with you are looking at needing diamond knives, tungsten-carbide knives, or diamond impregnated wire, band saw blades, or disc wheels.

[Histonet] Cassette printer comparison
Hi all, We are looking at cassette printers and have narrowed to three. The printers will be used for 2D code printing so I am wondering what experience anyone has had with reliability of 2D code readability and durability with the output of these three printers Thermo Printmate General Data Leica IP-C Thanks for any info you can give!

RE: [Histonet] Cassette printer comparison
The General Data is nice, but takes up space with its vacuum canister, which they rarely show in pictures. Be sure you see it and make certain it will fit in the space you have. Cassettes are more costly as they are all pre-printed with black facing, but look great. Thermo is less bulky (no vacuum and waste container to clean) but produces a lower quality print. Cassettes are much cheaper, but they have had some troubles with the print head not lasting long. The Leica is not much better (if at all) than the Thermo with respect to print quality. It also constantly jams (the ones I have used). Personally, I would choose the General Data. Costs more in the long term with pricey cassettes, but looks great! Less troubles with barcode scanning too. There is no comparison between this and the other two. Like a Kia vs a Bentley. I just bought the Thermo, and only because my lab is a Thermo Showcase lab and that is all we use, across the board. I wish I could have the General Data unit.

[Histonet] Productivity Reports
Hello to all in histoland. Does any one have to do productivity reports for their boss. If so, what are you using for your unit of measure to say if your techs are being productive. My boss is really into the numbers, graphs and charts. I have a my techs fill out a workload recording form. I really don't know where to begin trying to pull data from it for a report. If anyone has any insight to this and has a report that they would be willing to share, I would be eternally grateful.
