[Wactclc-alma] SpineOmatic

[Guidry, Wade]

Julie,

(And I'm posting to wactclc-alma as well, to let others chime in)...

Spineomatic is a good way to print one-at-a-time spine labels, for sure. The other primary label printing tool people are using is Connexion.

I've used both Zebra and Dymo printers successfully.

Dymo printers are much cheaper (under $100). Zebra printers can run up to several hundred, depending on the model.

The Dymo Label Writer 450 is the most common dymo printer in use.

Does anyone on the list using a LabelWriter 450 have recommendations, suggestions, or preferences regarding the types of labels to use?

Hello Wade,

We are researching Spineomatic for printing our spine labels in Alma. I found this:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiqooWsp7jcAhUVHDQIHeirDL0QFggpMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.exlibrisgroup.com%2Fblog%2FSpineOMatic-Label-Printing-Software-for-Alma&usg=AOvVaw00jjbP32TfObFHCpV4D-nk
Also we are interested in printers that will print one label at a time, so that I can tear it off and insert it into the book.
The link above lists these compatible printers:
Compatible SpineOMatic Printers
SpineOMatic will print to any printer that can be installed on Windows. The following types of desktop thermal and thermal-transfer label printers have been successfully used with SpineOMatic:
          Zebra
           DYMO
           Smart Label Printers
Do you have experience with any of these printers and would share your recommendations with us?

Thank you,
Julie Bishop
