Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
For any professional color labels I'd spring for a color laser printer. It would probably lower your cost per label, but the initial investment is higher because a nice lowend color laser will run you $300 I think.The sales clerk at Staples recently talked me into buying the Staples brand black ink cartridge for my Lexmark at a slightly lower cost than the Lexmark brand, claiming theirs had much more ink and would last longer.
I put the new cartridge in the night before last and it ran out last night right in the middle of a batch of coffee bag labels, ruining about half of them (since I wasn't paying attention). I'm pissed. Granted, I was doing some heavy duty printing between labels and brochures but no more than I'd been doing the past week or two with the Lexmark cartridge.
The brochures eat a lot of ink so I got a price for Staples to print them for me. .78 cents apiece for two-sided color trifold! I think that comes out to much more than Lexmark ink cartridges. I need to find a good print shop.
I bought a color and a black today from them. I've been happy with the black so I figured I would try out the color. That's the true test. I saved 19 bucks by going with the cheaper version than the name brand.been using these guys for a while now, saves me big time! All our outside sales force uses them...
