[Nmtriblibs] Printer and labels

[Lujan, Nathaniel]

Ya’at’eeh Mr. Pete,

The Pueblo of Isleta (POI) has a contract with a local company by the name of Southwest Copy Systems (SWCS).

For business, POI has provided us with a Sharp MX03070, which scans, prints, and fax (both features of faxing digital and old school analog phone line, which we still utilize for confidentiality reasons).  SWCS provide us with free maintenance, toner, and excess toner disposal cartridges, and charge us $0.007500 for Black & White Copies and $0.045400 for color prints per page. Faxing and scanning are free.

When I was looking into purchasing a unit for the general public, SWCS provided our library with a HP Color Laser Jet Managed Flow MFP E87640 model and put us on the same contract as POI.  Although, the printing cost (same prices) comes out of our Library Budget.  Maintenance, toner, and excess toner disposal cartridge, and scanning are all included in the contract.  Instead of leasing the item, we purchased it out right.  We also purchased a Bluetooth feature which allows patrons to print via Bluetooth from their mobile devices and laptop.  The patrons like the scan to email feature as opposed to a flash drive.

As for labels and barcodes, our automation system (Booksystems: Atriuum) allows us to print our own labels and barcodes.  However, we had to inform them we wanted this feature as our previous automation system had this feature.  It took some trial and error but we got it working.  When we weed a library material we, hold onto the barcode number and reuse it.  The ability to make our own spine labels allows us to create our own Call numbers for the Manga, Graphic Novels, CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays, 4Ks, Video Games (Switch, PS4, X-box), Guitar & Bass Tablatures, fitness bags, cake pans, etc.

Here is Southwest Copy Systems contact info should you want to talk to them about printer models and features.

Ya’at’eeh everyone,

I was wondering what type of printers do you use and which vendor for spine labels and labels to put on books and electronics? We have been looking to invest into a good printer to print out labels so we can catalog the books and devices that we have in the back. We have depended on the folks at Navajo County Library District in Holbrook, AZ, but they are very limited in staff.

Any recommendations or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Ahé’héé’ (thank you)
Donovan
