Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Anyone know how I can waterproof labels? I did buy some shrinkwrap sleeves but they just don't look good, too wrinkly looking. Is there any kind of waterproof tape that I could put over the labels? Or any other ideas? I need to label spray containers and without waterproofing them the print on the labels inevitably runs.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 I'm testing an Epson printer, with a wax-based ink. Will holler when I have results.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 A friend suggests you buy bumper sticker paper. Thirty minutes after [printing, it is waterproof. I use clear spray paint and that sets the ink. Or use clear contact paper over the label.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 I use Krylon clear. Works great but be sure it's Krylon brand and not some other clear coat Paula .......... in Michigan > Anyone know how I can waterproof labels?

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 We use an Epson C82 printer with DuraBrite ink. It works great and all 4 ink colors are separate cartridges, so you only have to replace the color thats out instead of all 3 at once. The ink does not run, even if essential or vegetable oil gets on the label. And the printers are not expensive. Get one, it's worth the savings in time and trouble that using tape or clear paint spray take. MaryEllen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
