Laurie,
We use Colormark slides with our TBS slide labeler.  These slides, as well
as the Shurmark slides, are manufactured by Erie Scientific and are
identical.  We buy the Colormark slides through Daigger (Catalog
#CM-4951W+), but probably any vendor that sells slides can get them if you
specify that the slides are for use with automatic labeling instrument.  It
can take 6 to 8 weeks for Daigger to fill the order (that can also be true
for Shurmark) since these slides are special order from Erie.

We are going to be looking at a TBS slide labeler and the rep is telling us
that we have to purchase special slides from TBS.  Does anyone use anything
other than these TBS slides?  Will regular Colorfrost slides work?
