[PADG:182] Re: Selin labels

[Sue Davis <sue.davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We, too, use SELIN labels for important reasons, the most vital 
being that the labels very seldom fall off on their own accord. 
But, like Roberta points out there is lots of waste, especially if 
you want to label only one book at a time.  I haven't pursued 
alternatives myself, but am always interested in hearing what 
others do with the SELIN product.  We currently use Okidata dot 
matrix printers and the Gaylord attachment, but there are alignment 
issues, smearing ink issues, and the waste issue.
