do these labels fade over time after printing

I have not had a problem, and I have printed quite a few these past months, still look clear and sharp, I suppose if they sat in the direct sunlight, Like anything else they would probably fade!

No they don't but they aren't intended for outdoor use or direct sun. I use them on everything!

So far, I have had no problems with fading. But I do use my Dymo printer mostly for return address & mailing labels. Have been using these labels for several years -- this brand is the only labels that I will use.

Yes they are due to the fact that I have myself by sticking another label over the old one. This is something I consider recycling. Multiple use. Thanks

No they are stamped on the inside, so they won't fade and these work great behind the bar.

I have 2 sets, which I've been using for about 3 months now. None of the printing has faded; also, I marked my boxes with my initials since two others in my house have the same set, and that hasn't faded either.

No, they are permanent. I wipe them with a damp cloth so have not had trouble with them rubbing off. The printing is small enough and flush with the surface so that they could easily be covered with a label. Hope this helps.

No but they automatically will fade between colors, and you can control the speed that they change, or pick solid colors, or have them quickly change colors

These are plain continuous labels, but if you don't have a brother printer to setup the desire length during the printing process, these aren't the ones that you want, because you will need to die cut them.

I don't layer labels because I spent 3 months finding these labels that can work on most all equipment. I would think that it might be hard to smooth out a label if it was sticking to another paper label. If you have and creases you're added weight to the label. Although these labels are easy to remove if needed but I find that if the label is on the disc more than 3-4 days it may be more difficult and some of the disc coating could come off. Good Luck!

I've had it only for a month and a few days so I can't say if they will fade while time passes. So far, they are like new.

We have had our awnings for over 2 years and have not noticed any fading. We live in a very warm client and our awnings are black, so I would think we would have encountered some fading by now, but we have not. I was just thinking this weekend about how great they look. We really love these awnings and they have been a good edition to our home.

The numbers do wear after several years. Our company has about 22 of these and in a couple of units the key numbers are fading. This after about 5 years.

I used a laser color printer and had these water bottle labels submerged in ice and water for more than 12 hours. When I pulled a bottle out, label was still stuck to the bottle with no damage to label what so ever! It's a pretty awesome product! I think that if you used them with an ink jet printer, the color may run off, but not certain about that.

My spice labels are over 20 years old. All labeled with different versions of Brother laminated tapes. I have all my irises in the backyard labeled also. The signage is over 5 years old and no indication of any fading (I do staple the tape to the wooden sticks as the glue will soften in the sun).

They are adhesive labels, once on the package for more than a minute or two, they will not come off. They are paper so they will dissolve with water.

I have two Brother labelers and I print on several different sizes and colors. I do a lot of work in the construction industry and I use my labeler to label my tools and equipment which gets left outside frequently. None of my labels have faded or worn off. I used to own a Dymo labeler and I ran into the same issue with the fading. I was told that the label itself was reactive to heat, much like a thermal receipt you would get at any store. It makes the text by using heat in certain parts of the label to form graphics and text. If the receipt, or label, is exposed to heat it fades. Brother labels use a different technology.

I do quite a bit of large print printing; I would say that they lasted me close to a year. I use my printer for only personal, not professional printing.

If you're near the end of your label cartridge, the print may fade. If a new label cartridge does not improve the output, and if your label maker is battery powered, try new batteries.
