Printer systems and associated ink cartridges can have specialized inksets and alternative fluids for use in printing. In such systems and cartridges, the inkset of a unique cartridge may be deliberately limited relative to traditional inksets that seek to have a wide color gamut such that chemistries having greater durability may be employed. Still further, such cartridges may include one or more functional inks that have a purpose other than merely coloration. Particularly in compact printers, for which space is limited, the system can be designed to accept various unique cartridges based on the intended printing application and print based on the characteristics of the received cartridge. Beyond this, the system may advise the user when a different cartridge is necessary and/or may be beneficially used for a particular application.

A multicable lockout device comprises a housing including at least two cable end securement points, a stationary cleat fixed relative to the housing, and at least two rotatable cleats attached to the housing. Each of the rotatable cleats is positioned adjacent to the stationary cleat with a respective cable-receiving pathway being defined between the shared stationary cleat and each of the respective rotatable cleats. The respective rotatable cleats each have a tip biased towards the shared stationary cleat to facilitate one-way gripping action of a cable along the respective cable-receiving pathway. This structure permits two cable loops to be independently formed utilizing only three cleats for gripping the cables.
A label printing module can be configured to perform at least two actions in response to a request to create a label for an item. The label printing module can create a print job that will produce a physical label for the item. In addition, the label printing module can cause a digital label to be created and stored in a digital label database, which can be accessible via the Internet. The digital label can include an identifier that is uniquely associated with the item to which the physical label corresponds. The digital label can be associated with an Internet address. The Internet address of the digital label can be included in a machine-readable object on the corresponding printed physical label. Someone who has the item corresponding to the printed physical label can view informational content within the corresponding digital label by using a reader to read the machine-readable object.
