We printed some a long while back but they were DLT and had slide in type of
labels, not sticky. When we went LTO we bought printed labels from our
Networker support people. [Pre-EMC] Now, our media vendor has them pre-labeled
based on our requirements, WMXXXX CLXXXX TDXXXX etc.
I would suggest finding another media vendor [which might be a tad difficult in
Barcelona] or living with what you can get. If anything I would at least find
someone who can print them for you. Again, one less thing for you to deal with.

Thanks Michael,
At this moment we have 60 new tapes that came with the purchase of our
new library but as we didn't think about the labels, they are labeled
from 000001-L4 to 000060-L4.
We would like to change these labels to "LNR001" or "DEF001" or "HIS001"
names (3-chars prefix + 3-numbers suffix). Our provider said that they
have labels with numbers, not chars.
Are some of you using printed/home-made labels?
Thank you.
