Labels FAQ

1. Can I print a laser printer product with an inkjet printer?
 
  If the product package is labeled "Laser/Inkjet" the product can be printed through either laser or inkjet printers.
 
 
  2.  Can clear laser labels be printed with an inkjet printer?
 
  Our clear label products are now dual technology - compatible in both laser and inkjet printers.
 
 
  3.  What type of label adhesive is used for laser labels?
 
  The adhesive used on white laser labels is an acrylic emulsion-based permanent adhesive. This type of adhesive is suitable for general purpose adhesion to most papers, envelopes, corrugated shipping containers, file folders, bare and painted metal, polypropylene and polyethylene bags. Laser Name Badges should not be used on leather, suede, corduroy, velvet, silk, vinyl and plastic. These labels can be applied and then removed from most other fabrics. The clear laser label products use a solvent based permanent adhesive which is also suitable for general purpose applications.
 
 
  4.  Can I print a few labels and save the label sheet for future printing?
 
  Avery recommends that a sheet of labels be fed only once through a laser or inkjet printer. Our guarantee of jam-free performance extends only to a sheet of labels that has been though a laser printer a single time. The heat and tight paper path of a laser printer can cause the label to curl after multiple passes through the printer. This could cause the label to jam or peel off inside the printer and result in an expensive repair bill.
 
 
  5.  What is the shelf life of your labels?
 
  This can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions (heat, humidity, etc...) but usually 2-3 years.
