Since the lab adopted the Brady solution, they've seen vast savings in labeling time as well as improvements in label accuracy and readability: "The Brady system has been a quality boost," said Huber. "Handwriting can be washed off or misread, but the Brady system provides clear black-on-white printing. We've offset the cost of the label with the productivity savings of the individuals working in the lab."

Due to the enormous volume of work at the lab, Huber appreciates the reliability of the Brady printers, despite sometimes being "a bit lax" on printer maintenance. Lancaster Labs now operates four printers daily, and even with their high output needs, they get consistent high-quality labels. The lab even keeps a spare unit on hand, so his staff is never without one of their most vital tools.

"Brady's customer service understands that sometimes things happen - our representative brought over his own printer when one of ours needed service," said Huber. "They really work with us; they've even produced special runs of the labels we use to be sure that we'll never be out."

Huber is so happy with the system that he even uses it in his off hours - to label everything at the fire station where he volunteers. "These are the only labels we've found that have not come off the fire truck's equipment."
