I love automation but don`t like prelabeled slides too much potential for
disaster. I rather automate every thing else and write each slide as it is
done. I guess you must inital if more than one person in lab. In  my  years
as a supervisor have seen swapted case slides and skipped blocks....gives me
night mares....It may be slower  but safe is always better.

Hi All,

     We would like to know from those of you who have the Shurmark slide
labeling system, do you have the techs initial the slides they cut? If not
how do you troubleshoot errors? etc. 

     Those of you who do not have the Shurmark, are you initialling slides
or simply recognize the handwriting?

Thanks in advance,
