Tips related to Clear Gloss for Laser Material

• IMPORTANT: Store clear gloss sheets in the original plastic clamshell packaging in a cool, dry place to avoid humidity. Storing label sheets in the printing environment for a short period before attempting to print, allows them to adjust to any temperature changes and stabilize after shipping, which may prevent common printing problems.
• Prevent label sheets from being exposed to direct sunlight or flood lights.
• Before you print onto a label sheet, first print onto a blank piece of paper. Place the sheet in front of the label sheet, and then hold the sheets up to a light to make sure the positioning is correct.
• Before and after printing, handle label sheets by the edges of the sheet being careful not to get oil from your fingers on the printable label surface. Oil may cause smudging.
• Allow label to dry completely before stacking, handling or peeling the printed labels.
• Sheets of clear gloss labels can be passed through the printer only once. Numerous runs through the printer can cause the label to jam or peel off.
• We do not recommend printing your clear gloss label in a photocopier or inkjet printer, as there is a higher chance of jamming.
