sbs Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 For those of you who use them, and use the clear labels, and possibly the inkjet clear labels... did you purchase that Krylon preserve it spray so the print won't smudge? If not, is there something else I can use? I can't find the Krylon "preserve it" in the store.. only online and I need something like yesterday. But if I have to get it online, eh I will. :rolleyes2Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessex Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Mine don't smudge. Use the glossy clear, white and others, with an inkjet and have no problems with smudging. Only use on candles, so they don't get handled like B&B would, but never had a smudged label on a candle in a retail store. They are not waterproof, though.Cheers,Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliZona Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hi,I use their labels, mostly ink-jet clear. What I do is after I print my labels I wait until they are completely dry, this is very important. Then I apply the label to my product and cover the label with clear scotch tape or clear shipping tape. I cut the tape so it slightly overlaps the edges of original label. Hope that helps:)Sherri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine never smudged either but with my luck I picture somebody's sweaty palms grabbing my candle at a craft show and smearing the ink lol.. Just a fear I have. With Spring/ Summer around the corner and Georgia weather.. Trying to be safe than sorry. It will be my first time taking my candles to the public (well strangers) and I would hate to be embarrassed. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
