Do you put plastic label protectors over the labels?

If so, make sure that you use ones that block UV light. That is what
fades them. Label protectors might be cheaper than a new printer :)

Subject: [Web4lib] Thermal Transfer Printers

We've been using a Dymo LabelWriter 400 direct thermal printer for our
spine labels for a few years now and are noticing the labels are
starting to fade.
I am researching the thermal transfer printing solution - thermal
printing that also uses an ink ribbon. Is anyone else familiar with
thermal transfer printers? Any recommendations for model and/or vendor?
I would need a printer that will print from Horizon. Any suggestions
would be much appreciated! Thanks!
