Hi all,  
we are discussing the use of QR code printer to lable our assembly groups.  
So my question is: How do you use this theme?  
Via a windows/apple programm from a PC, via an online service or via tulip? - i know there is no native QR code generator widget up to now.

Any suggestions?  
Regards Chris
