- I have just seen Betsy Moon's comment about doing away with their
- Se-lin machine.
-
- For some time, we have been using the Se-lin label stock in one of
- the pre-sized sheet formats or a Se-lin clone version of it. We
- have found it a much less stressful alternative than the roll
- format, although it is said that sheets are better for lower
- quantity amounts. We never tried the "improved" version. I think
- that those of us who have kept with this product have done so
- because it seems to be the "toughest thing going" among other
- reasons.
-
- I have been talking for a good part of this year (off-and-on) with
- Gaylords' customer sersvice Se-lin specialist. Recently, she
- informed me that in the first half of 93, they will be offering
- the Se-lin product on pin-feed stock, to accomodate more libraries
- having more automated systems. I have received a couple of
- pre-production samples, which have the sheet version on pin-feed
- backing in rows of 2 and 4 labels. Like the sheet version, the
- cover acetates are separate.
-
- However, I have not heard that they will be offering label sets
- that would offer both the Se-lin label, with a coard and/or pocket
- label on one sheet. Maybe this will also be forthcoming, or maybe
- they will continue with their separate pocket/labels on pin-feed
- to be used with their software. That however, seems a little
- cumbersome.
-
- Gaylord might appreciate the input from Se-lin users. (Or they;
- might not). Give them a call, and express your wants, neets,
- desires and maybe urge them to promote more versitile label
- format designs or a complete package which could attract more
- cataloging departments back to their product.
