Will this protect a printed label from an inkjet printer from smearing or will the ink run when sprayed? These would be used on wine bottles.

Yes. I use it on my inkjet printed labels all the time. Just make sure the print is dry, spray, let dry, repeat as many times you think you need coats.

I used this in my inkjet HP printer and it worked fine. I used the labels to print colorful graphic labels for birthdays, holidays, etc, and they came out beautifully. As long as you use quality ink, I think it will print well. I've ordered it many times and will continue to do so...

Why would you want them to come off the bottle if you are using them for wine labels? I sell custom wine labels and use this. My customers love it and they hold up very well. Once they are on, they are on and they are very difficult to remove, but that is a good thing.

I did once accidentally run them through my inkjet, and the ink smeared badly. Only use them in a laser.However, you can mark on them with a Sharpie if you are just looking for a weatherproof label and don't have a laser.

Yes... the label says "DANGER! Extremely Flammable".It also works for loosening and cleaning ink residue from inkjet printers!

It won't work well. I just tried it with my notary stamp and it doesn't dry immediately so if you touch it it will smear. If your volume isn't too high I suggest using Avery 5160 labels or equivalent, just print a sheet at a time

Not waterproof; it's just regular printer paper glued to a very thin magnet sheet. You can spray or paint over the printing (after the ink has dried) with an acrylic sealer or a waterproof Mod Podge to protect your project.

Hi Mara, Yes you can write on Avery labels with ballpoint pen and ink without smudging. (ink such as "Unipen waterproof ink pen") regards Alex

Yes, especially if you use ink jet printer. I use Laser Jet printing for my labels & then I laminate with highest heat setting on my laminator. I then cut my labels per size (using full sheet 8-1/2 in x 11 in sheets printing several labels per sheet). The back side is removed leaving the sticky, glue side exposed--then attach to bottle. If liquids get under label--exposure will affect quality of print.

I wouldn't -- wrong formula. Instead, look at the line of artist's fixatives and sprays made by Krylon. They're designed to do just that -- protect paper artwork and printed material from moisture, yellowing, smudges, etc. Read their descriptions and you'll be able to choose which one sounds like the protection you're looking for.

I do not know how lamination holds up to ethanol, but perhaps you could use the Staedtler "permanent special" which will adhere to many difficult to write on surfaces including lamination products -- and then laminate a second sheet over your original label. That way the ink will be sealed. Seems as though you will need to experiment.

This goes through a laser printer fine. I use this paper on my Konica Minolta Magicolor 5650EN for creating waterproof signage. I cannot answer 2 (I don't have inkjet), and 3 - I would let ink dry before stacking paper (probably a matter of seconds).

I used them on a 16oz bottle, and the label overlaps a bit. So when printing make sure you take that into account. I tried it out on a 20oz gatorade, and it worked as well. They are amazing labels. I tested them out to see if they really didn't bleed and if they'd actually stay on the bottle once wet. I submerged a bottle with a label on it in water for 30 mins, and it was still good as new.

I have an inkjet and they haven't smudged yet. I'm sure they would if they got wet...but just standard use I've had no issues with smudging.

As far as design work goes, they're alcohol proof. Using rubbing alcohol on paper hasn't ever removed the ink for me but I'm not sure they're so indelible that they'll hold up in pure ethanol for an extended period of time. Maybe buy a single one from an art supply store and test it?

Although I haven't tried them specifically on glossy paper, I have tried them on several non-paper surfaces (such as a semi-gloss canvas). If you give the ink ample time to dry (will be tacky after just a few minutes and then totally dry after several hours) then it will likely not smear. However, if I went back to the canvases that I've done with them and wiped a damp cloth across, I'm rather certain the ink would smudge, so I do not believe that the ink is waterproof.

I'm not sure. I've only had them on for about a week. I think you can just pull them off. They are pretty durable, so I'm not sure if they would leave a residue on the bottle. These are very good labels. No issues so far!
