[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1572905, member: 9096"] I have been using a mix of Allflex (last 28 years) and now Ztags.. I like the Z tag plier, auto release with a pivoting needle means that as soon as it's snapped you can pretty much just pull your hand back if needed I haven't found much difference in retention... I apply 2-3 coats of paint good and heavy, that makes them last for years.. I tried some white on black, and while it looks really sharp, it fades too... If you can get close enough you can still see the imprint in the plastic where the ink etched, but you won't see it from any distance. I don't quite get why the tags fade so much, it's not like the ears get rubbed on that much.. If they lose a tag it's probably because they had their head through the fence and snagged the pin on the way out. [/QUOTE]
