Re: An Open Letter to Mouser

2011-02-15 by Ben L

Been buying Parts from Mouser for a long long time, I have not noticed labels fading.  I have some packages in there that are 5 or 6 years old maybe some older they do not seem faded.  Now I have gotten a few here and there that did not seem to print good like the printer was about out of ink but normally they are very readable and have not notice a fading problem with them.
