Brushy Mnt print at home labels

[Broke-T]

I bought 3 packs of the print at home labels from Brushy Mnt. THey said they are for ink jet and laser printers. I did mine on the ink jet.

They look really good but the ink won't dry. Even after 3 days the ink will still smear. Has anyone else had this problem?

I like the labels so I might have to find a lazer printer to try.

I've had the same trouble with some of my mead labels. My new rules is: if it lists both ink AND laser, don't buy. Get the ink-only labels whenever possible.

You might try some spray-varnish on the labels (before applying to your jars). That just might seal the ink well enough to prevent smearing. Try it on a short strip before doing the whole batch, though.

You may also want to try gently drying them with a blow dryer.

I used Avery software to make my labels, I found pictures on Google images and added some text and pictures. They were printed on Avery paper and I think they look OK.
