SUPPLIES FOR PRINTING
Avery was kind enough to send me a sample pack of labels for
formatting my program. These have turned out to very high
quality labels. Some people have said that Dennison labels
are of higher quality, but the news is Dennison and Avery are
merging from the last I heard. I heard this from Avery.
Avery claims that there labels are even going to get better.
I have run many sheets of labels through my HP 3P and have
never had one jam yet! I have also run thousands of the
single feed (4145) through my dot-matrix and the only problem
I've ever had was when I try to pull the labels backwards threw
the printer. They will peel off some times.
As for getting your supplies I would recommend MOORE (R)
BUSINESS PRODUCTS DIVISION.
Give Christine E. Cebulski a call at 1-800-932-1230 or fax
716-286-2445 or write to 1001 Buffalo Avenue Niagara Falls, NY
143003-1598. You can order dot-matrix tractor feed envelopes
along with any other labels you may need from Christine.
No... I'm not getting a kick-back on any of this. I just
thought you would like to have a good source for getting
labels, envelopes, etc...
I hope you enjoy using Public Address!
