In my previous blog, I presented three options from Havis for mounting the PocketJet® Printer in a patrol car. Two of these mounts, C-PM-101 and C-PM-109 hold both the PocketJet Printer and a roll of paper. For this reason alone, they comprise over 99% of the printer mounts sold. Choosing a printer mount is a …
I get this question asked to me a lot: “Just what exactly are interfaces?” Now, before I explain, let me preface by mentioning one thing I love about working at L-Tron. Every order, big or small, gets handled by its own sales rep from start to finish. We love to get it right the first …

The GS1 organization, along with the International Diary-Deli-Bakery Association and International Dairy Foods Association recently released new guidelines for traceability. The new guidelines cover dairy, deli and bakery products with details on product identification and how to use batch/lot numbers and bar …
Like many guys in their late twenties, I have been taken by the craze of home brewing. It’s a very fun activity, and after a few years of fine tuning my process I started inviting friends over to partake in the rewards of my craft. My friends, the freeloaders that they are, readily partook and …
