ink scratching off?

jadelilly · Apr 15, 2014

Does anyone else have problems with ink scratching off clear labels? I ordered laser printer labels from labelsbythesheet.com and printing on my samsung laser printer.
It's driving me MAD! I might have to just go ahead and get them printed professionally if I can't get this figured out. Help!!??
Thank you!

If they are OK when they come out of the printer you can spray them with a clear sealant.

Try changing your ink saturation for the clear labels and see if it helps. I have to do that for clear labels in my label printer.

I've tried it on transparency, label, and cardstock. It scratches off on all of them

What kind of sealant? Does that make it hard to peel?

I use Krylon low oder clear latex spray finish and they still peel off fine.

I put clear packing tape over the label. It just takes a second and the problem is solved.

Does that affect the water resistance at all?

It actually helps the water resistance. If you are using the labels on a product in the shower, the moisture will get to the label sooner or later though.
