Conefan80, You have no idea how your information has helped me. Thanks so much for taking the time to share. I have been purchasing my labels from http://www.onlinelabels.com/default.htm They have labels for laser printer too. I was thinking the laser labels could handle the uv lights in a store better. Have you found that this to be right? I was hoping the white wouldn't yellow so quickly

Thanks for the food for thought Conefan80 You are right about the quality difference of the laser printer vs. inkjet. It has always bothered me that the inkjet lays the inks on top of the paper but a laser printer infuses them in. You can actually scratch off the ink on the ( inkjet labels) I haven't done enough homework research on the lasers yet. Brand? Model ? replacement cartridge cost ? I too was going to keep my deskjet for odd paper printing if I can find a laser printer. I need to decide though my blank label stock is getting low and I will need to place a order soon. With your laser printer can you print off 5 sheets of labels at a time and not worry about them starting off the page wrong. With the deskjet I always have to watch and check each sheet as it starts to make sure it is printing ok. Cleaning the rolls helps too. What brand did you research on ?

Hi Top :wave: Glad to see you rode this puppy out LOL Looks like both sides of this situation was stressed. WOW I have learnt a lot from this thread. Just goes to show you that there are a lot of suppliers that scan the message boards to watch how their business is rating. The most I have learnt is how important communication skills are !!! Glad things have calmed down for you all Forget the wine I would go for the hard stuff LOL

Thanks guys for your help !! :highfive: I think I will contact my label supplier and see if they can tell me anymore details to making scratch & scent labels. It would be really cool if we could use this method on our brochures, If I find good news I will let you know Brooke

I was just brainstorming here Has anyone ever made a Scratch and Sniff samples of your fragrances? Is there a certain type of paper to use? YK has a scratch and sniff in their catalog when they are introducing a new scent. It seemed to be on the same paper as the rest of the catalog. Is it just as simple as adding the FO with a brush to the labels or paper. Sounds like a fun way to add to my advertising. Brooke

Thanks Bizzy, That explains it because I know I have refilled this color cartridge much more than twice. :Doops

Yes I have been using a refill kit for my ink cartridges I am getting them at Wal-mart. I have used them a lot . So I am thinking the sponge inside the cartridge is wore out LOL I am getting to the point I need to be able to print at higher quanities and not have to keep watching each page to be sure it is turning out right :whistle: I would love to be able to walk away and let 50 sheets print without worring about them. ( EVEN 10 sheets ) I would be HAPPY LOL Thanks for your thoughts !

I am using a HP Deskjet 3650 and to tell you the truth I am not sure how old it is it was given to me hardly used. It has been working fine for me but here lately it seems I am spending to much time convincing:waiting: it to work right LOL I probably need to purchase a new cartridge. Maybe the one I have has just been refill to many times. I will still be looking at the laser printers though LOL Thanks for your replies Just blew my top a bit LOL

Would you believe I have spent most of the day jacking with this HP inkjet printer I have had it ! I would be choking this thing if I could. Its the darn ink cartridges even after a refill ( not consistant) I am ready to go find a laser printer. Money who cares this is taking up my time so bad. Poor thing I guess I have over worked the darn thing Which Laser printer should I go check out Thanks Brooke

I vote for the first or second one.

Thanks for the thread :highfive: I will read up on it. Brooke

Golden Soy Blend 444 Golden Soy Blend 444. This wax is a mixture of soy and other natural vegetable oils creating a smoother candle with less frosting designed for containers. Golden Soy Blend 444 is a one pour wax with great adhesion, great scent throw and easy clean-up. Fragrance load is a whopping 15%! Wow anyone tested this wax? I can't believe the fo load. This wax is sold at Milcrk.

I checked with two of our local print shops. They wanted $1.40 per sheet and that was with me bringing in ready art work saved on a CD as a JPEG image. This may not sound bad to you but when I had several different size and style labels to print I just decided to print them myself on my inkjet. Good Luck

Hi Guys, About this pallet info. Do you get a great price break for the wax? I currently get a price break on the wax if I order over 200 lbs. So a pallet would have to be even better ? :rolleyes2

THIS IS JUST A UPDATE TO LET YOU KNOW! AFTER VISITING SAM'S CLUB THE SERVING CUPS MENITONED ABOVE WERE PLASTIC The information above was what I received when I called into Sam's Guess he didn't hear me say paper cups OK onward LOL For me I found a local food supplier that I can order from. But their quanity is 5,000 LOL

Thanks for your advice. I love herbs. Trying to learn more about them. I will check them out.

Hello :wave: The Presto Kitchen Kettle/ multi cooker/ measures 13 inches tall and 9.5 inches wide in the box. Hope this helps. You better get two if you can. Good Luck Brooke

Just a update ! Went to my local Wal-mart today and there........ she was.... the Presto Fryer ( multi- cooker LOL) That we all need so desperately. $22.00 was their price Hope I didn't cause a panic here LOL Thanks again for everyone's input

Thanks for checking the website out. I bet they will still be making them now that I have seen this :highfive: Didn't know they were referred as multi cookers.

Does anyone look for organic base for Lotions Shampoo Lipstick (beeswax) I was looking for more of the herbal organic types of bases. Anyone else into Herbs and such.:rolleyes2

I think I will run to my local Wal-mart and see if I can get one. I have one already. I don't have a pouring spot on it. Been placing my pouring pitcher in it with a boiling ring on the bottom. This is the way I melt wax for tarts.
