[QUOTE="TGM, post: 6783894, member: 43890"] Not all software companies are still using Psions! - we've abandoned them, except in the case where an exisiting user damages one beyond economic repair and inists that the damaged one has to be replaced with the same. Other than that, we've moved to the agrident range of readers, which begin at £385. These can do all sheep recording on the reader, therefore there is no need to bluetooth to anything. - simple to use! Bt printers - yes the really cheap ones off web will print, but we've found that the ones around the £30 mark have a weaker print than the slightly dearer ones. we sell low cost BT printers with good quality printout for £65. The ones that some of the other software companies sell for £200 + are a different class. at £65 or less you're getting cheap and cheerful chinese plastic. but they've fine to print sheep tag numbers. the ones at £200 + are uk made - very strong, very high quality - we did sell these at one time and I still have about 4 left in stock. But dropping a printer in the yard which cost £65 is a lot less painful than dropping a printer in the yard which cost you £200. Finmally the other thing which has a significant impact upon print quality is the thermal paper. The really cheap paper off ebay is likely to print so faded you'll barely be able to ready the numbers. There's a big difference in paper at 20 pence a roll compared to paper at £1 a roll. [/QUOTE]
