pixie Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ive noticed that the labels I printed out on my kraft paper from onlinelabels gets "scuffed" up easily. Meaning it doesnt take much for the little specs of black ink to come off the label. Ive noticed this doesnt happen with other paper stock, just the kraft paper. Is there something I can spay on the labels to avoid this? I use a laser printer.Im only giving some of my candles to my dad and mil for christmas so the labels dont have to be perfect but it does kinda bug me Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtohaley2004 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Have you used the kraft labels from there before with no problem. If so, then contact online labels about this. There may be a problem with the product. I ordered from them and the first batch was fine. Did a reorder and they kept getting stuck in my printer. I found if I trimmed the edges slightly then they were fine. I told them about it by email and they said it's a rare problem that happens when the roll shifts slightly when being cut to 8 and 1/2 by 11. So, they said they looked up the series number for my product and were pulling the remainder of product so it wouldn't happen again. They also offered to refund my money or send out new product to test. I got notificatin yesterday that they are sending me some sheets to try at no cost to me. Not saying that the labels are the problem but you may write and ask if the raw materials or something have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 it doesnt take much for the little specs of black ink to come off the labelIf you are using a laser printer, it may not be heating quite enough. There is a wire in them that glows and becomes dirty after a while that may need cleaning. Some printers are worse about the toner flaking than are others... I have a Brother el cheapo laser printer and it flakes a LOT! I prefer my inkjet! I think that a rough textured paper would have a bigger problem with this than a normal bond paper because the irregular surface is harder for the toner to bond to. An inkjet might work better for Kraft paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blest2BAmerican Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Make sure you are setting your printer for paper/labels you are printing on. Your toner might also be getting low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb426 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I had this problem when I printed some kraft paper labels at work using the laser printer. The ink actually rubbed off when the jars were handled. Now I just use my inkjet and I haven't had any more problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
