AnnaFor my clear labels I use Krylon clear spray on it before using them and so far it's been working great. Now I dont know if that would make them waterproof or not, but if you spray it on and let it dry good nothing rubs off. you can get it in the spray paint section at walmart or hardware stores.

CareBear Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 also make sure you have the right kind of label for your printer. I have an ink jet printer and if I use labels designed for laser printers the same thing happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelleyBean Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Shellybean do you spray them before you print,or after?I am using Avery label #8665,inkjet.Thanks for the help.I spray it on after they come out of the printer. I wait a bit for the ink to dry and them take it outside and spray the whole sheet. I give it a few hours to dry after spraying, but it says it dries in 12 minutes or less.And she's right too, make sure you buy inkjet labels for inkjet printer or laser labels for laser printer. I almost bought the wrong thing once, but luckily noticed it as I was doing the checkout on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
