Hi Moyra, I use the Brother QL 570 for my spine labels, barcodes and other labels and it's great. I don't generate labels from Koha but the printer comes with a software package that enables you to set up the labels in the way that you'd like them to print. I just cut and paste from Koha for my spine labels and it's quick and easy. I keep a running spreadsheet of barcode alpha-numeric 'numbers' and the programme creates the barcode from each number. The printer doesn't require ink and I've tested the labels by leaving them directly in the sun for a few weeks and they didn't fade or discolour. I don't know how they will go over time but we cover them with archive-quality label protectors which should help preserve the labels. The best thing about the printer is that it cost me $50 and the refill rolls are inexpensive and last for a long time. The printer would not be practical for a large library, but it is adequate for our small library. Regards, Deborah On 11 February 2014 14:51, Moyra McAllister <moyrab@internode.on.net> wrote:
Hi
I'd like to use the quick spine label creator to produce spine labels 'on demand'. Will this work with a label printer such as the Brother QL 570 or the Dymo Labelwriter 450? Does anyone have any experience with these or any other label printer?
Thanks in anticipation Moyra
