Another barcode solution used at LMCO - if you've got a lot of money - is
the laser-etched barcode. A lot of metal tools in the tool cribs there are
laser etched with a barcode of their propery-id number.  Chrome and other
difficult surfaces work just fine with this method, and the barcodes last,
well, a VERY long time.

Subject:  Re: [HP3000-L] Network Printing to Dot Matrix Printers


As near as I can tell these Zebra printers are all thermal printers. This
is
fine for point of sale and other short lived labels but we've got a need
for
labels for spare parts that get put on shelves in less than wonderful
conditions, sometimes for years. Thermal labels tend to fade to black in
light or heat. So I'm watching this thread with great interest, hoping for
a
solution using the dot matrix impact printers of the subject line.
