The Costume Inventory Database – Standard has been updated and renamed to the Costume Inventory Database – Standard/Rental.  The database has been updated and streamlined for use by costume houses that want to rent individual costume pieces – rather than ensembles.  It still includes the Props module for adding Props/Sets records, doing searches and rentals.

New Inventory Tag Printer !

I have upgraded my Inventory Tag printer for Iron-on tags which will allow me to print higher quality graphics and barcodes.  If you would like to see a sample, please let me know.
