The pressing of an article is achieved with a closed-loop feedback press. The closed-loop feedback press is effective to measure an amount of pressure applied and adjust the pressure to achieve a prescribed amount of compression on the article. Further, the press may leverage a closed-loop feedback system to maintain a consistent temperature of one or more platens. The press is able to adjust a pressure applied one or more times during a pressing operation to accelerate a temperature change in the pressed article while reducing the pressure applied as the temperature approaches a target temperature to limit unintentional deformation and bleeding of the pressed material of the article.

Closed loop feedback press

A method for remotely facilitating labeling of laboratory media may include placing a user request at a computing system serving as a remote computing system, the user request including print content to remotely facilitate labeling of a laboratory media within a laboratory environment. The laboratory media may include at least one of a media cassette or a media slide to hold one or more laboratory samples. The method may further include communicating the user request from the computing system to a printing device over a network. The printing device representing a local computing system. The method may further include remotely facilitating the printing device to label the laboratory media.

Mechanism for remotely facilitating authorization and activation of laboratory print media labeling

A method for labeling laboratory media may include generating, at a printer, a request to label a laboratory media. The laboratory media including a media cassette or a media slide that is used to hold one or more laboratory samples. The method may further include directing, in response to the request, a laser to label the laboratory media by generating an image on a portion of a surface of the laboratory media. The directing may be based on information retrieved from the request.

Mechanism for labeling laboratory print media

A method for coating a laboratory print media with a photo-sensitive material may include generating, at a printer, a request to label a laboratory media. The laboratory media includes applying multiple coating layers to a laboratory print media to produce a human-readable and machine-readable label within a dedicated area of the print media. The multiple coating layers include at least a material based on photo-sensitive ink that is thermally-activated, and protected by a chemical and physical protective barrier/layer. The method may further include generating, using a printing mechanism, an image within the dedicated area of the print media. The image includes a laser-based image reflecting off of the photo-sensitive ink.
