Hi all

You will recall my post of a week ago about errors labelling 3590 tapes.
Well, I've labelled 30 IBM and 80 Imation tapes.
All 30 IBM tapes labelled flawlessly.
The Imations had a failure rate of 1 in 4, and in one batch of 10 I had four 
consecutive failures.
Of those Imation tapes that labelled first time, only a couple have been used, 
but one of those had a write error at 7% full.
I haven't tried relabelling the failures yet, so I don't know how sucessful 
this will be.  When you consider the cost of my babysitting the label process,
(surprisingly the whole label process fails if one tape has an error and 
volrange was specified), the Imations look like a false bargain.
