Well, I finally bought a colour laser, as my injet was dying anyway and leaving faded patches all over the page.
It's a Samsung CLP 310. How happy was I as I printed out the first page of my high gloss labels (having spent what seemed like hours getting them properly laid out). I've printed these labels on the work laser printer, and the problems of smudging that I had with the inkjet didn't happen.
The labels done on new printer looked good, and I happily stuck them onto my little travel bottles of new formula shaving cream/ soft soap. They looked so smart and cute, I was just about to contact Boots to see if they would like to stock them.
However, I now find that as soon as you squeeze the bottle a couple of times, thereby bending the label, the ink literally lifts off the page. On checking the one's done on the work laser, they too have the same problem on the slightest bending!! You even have to be careful how you peel them off the sheet. It is as if the ink is just stuck (not very well) onto the surface of the page, and falls off!!!
So now I'm looking for waterproof labels in both white and clear, and glossy, that I can print on this laser, and that will withstand a little bending. Can anyone advise whether there is such a label and what it is? Vinyl? Polyester? What?
I'm fed up having rubbish labels, and feel I now need to really move up a gear on the presentation front.
Help!!!!!
