asheebeans Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I use the online labels and spray them with clear krylon. Unfortunately this is the only method I have found so far that keeps them from running in the shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 ok I suppose I will have to go that route with the front label thenI am going for the kraft paper look and i will have to print that color /texture if I can and then i can tape the front labelI will still keep the top label as a removabele sort of band i came up with (pic in gallery)I am going with the kraft paper look if it kills me ,,,somehow.

Kitn Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I use packing tape over the label, I have not found anything that is really waterproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroMetroChic Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 labels by the sheet carries a super waterproof label they have the regular waterproof like online labels but then they have a super waterproof.Thats probably not what its called though I don't remember but its Ultra or Super something like that. You could try that. Laminating does work but its just too much work if you ask me I use my Primera and its pretty good, but in the past I just used online labels waterproof but those do smear I'd try the labelsbythe sheet ultra waterproof if it were meHope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an option for glossy, but that still doesn't make them waterproof.I've sprayed mine with acrylic or put some clear packing tape over the label.

Guest PassionSunKiss Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I have a laser color printer and it works great! To sum it up, a Laser printer "burns" the color on whereas a inkjet slaps the ink on the surface. I use the water-resistant polyester labels from Labels by the Sheet and their shipping costs are good too. The paper is nice and smooth.

katshe Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) When you go through the ordering process it says that the labels are paper stock. There is an option for glossy, but that still doesn't make them waterproof.I've sprayed mine with acrylic or put some clear packing tape over the label.This is what it says and how its printed in specs... I took this to mean that stock is the description below the words Paper stock: Not really saying it is paper stock so I called to ask...i was told two dif things.first they were vinyl/waterproof for up to a year...next cal...paper stock.Paper Stock: Self-sticking; printed and delivered in sheets. Also available in glossy.Thanks for the help ...I will check out the link today.passionsunkiss...might i ask what printer u have and does it have single cartridges that you can replace like one color at a time?
