mizbizzyb Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Where does everyone get their clear labels. I got mine from online labels...but they smudge very easily...not to pretty to me. Nobody has complained except me...but when I see other clear labels with no smudges, I wonder where they get them from. Any suggestions?

Crafty1 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 i have purchased my labels from a Co-Op that Kim host here on the board and I also get them from Staples. I use to get smudges on my labels, but I discovered that my printer was not set for labels. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Thanks...I guess I worded that wrong...fingerprint impressions. The ink is perfect I have a laser printer. The naked eye cant tell possibly, but I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairieannie Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 So you're wanting to keep fingerprints from showing huh? I wonder if spraying them with polyeurathane spray would work?? That's what I used to do before I got my laser printer, to waterproof them. I haven't noticed the fingerprints at all on my laser labels..but then again, I'm getting old and going blind..I should probably be wearing my glasses when I do my labels eh?

nbkfdu4 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Prairie,Did you spray the polyeurathane on the labels before putting on bottle? I may try this!ThanksEdited to put "on the labels" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairieannie Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I did...I sprayed the whole sheet at once and let it dry good before I put the labels on! Let me know if it helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cissy Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I know this is an old thread, but it relates to my current question. Where do you buy the polyeurathane spray, and is it non-flammable? I am very concerned about safety. I'm still practicing candlemaking, but want to plan ahead for labels and need to practice on those also (since I've never made any before). I would like to use 4x5 size on some of my jars. I might also want to use this size in the clear plastic labels, but don't want to have them melting when the candle gets hot. I want a label which I can print vibrant colors on, though, so the white paper-type labels (such as the Avery type) might be better, but I want a glossy finish on the labels. I'm assuming the white paper-type labels are non-flammable, since its seems that lots of candlemakers are using this type. Am I correct in this assumption? Any advice will be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EMercier Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I know you can also get that Krylon clear coat spray. They sell it at walmart and arts and crafts stores like Michael's and AC Moore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
