Question 1

Is the Weatherproof Gloss for Inkjet safe to use on tincture bottles that have oil in them?

Accepted Answer

The Weatherproof Gloss Inkjet is one of our most durable inkjet label materials and is designed to withstand direct contact with moisture. Certain types of chemicals and oils may affect the print quality to some degree, but it should work well for your application.

We're happy to provide free samples of the material if you'd like to test this with your tincture bottles. You can request samples at the link below:

If you find that oils do affect the print quality, you could potentially try using a clear overcoat spray for extra durability. You can view a tutorial on applying a clear overcoat spray at the link below:

Question 2

Will these labels work on Office Depot’s laser printers?

Accepted Answer

The OL700LP will work in most desktop-style laser printers. For the best results, we recommend printing using a paper type setting of photo paper, glossy paper or cardstock in the printer options.

Question 3

Can an inkjet printer print all colors on the silver foil (except white) on this foil paper?  If so, are the colors opaque so that it looks metallic?

Accepted Answer

An inkjet printer will be able to print normally on the Silver Foil Inkjet labels, but your ink from your inkjet printer will not be opaque and the colors from your printer will look a little different. Darker colors will tend to be more opaque than the lighter colors. All the colors will tend to have a metallic look on the material.

Question 4

To optimize printer settings, what pound bond is the printing paper?

Accepted Answer

The Standard White Matte features a 50# facesheet with a 53# liner. You can also select 104 gsm for the media type if available on your printer model.

Question 5

If applied on dry surface, will condensation make the ink bleed? it it weatherproof/waterproof once applied?

Accepted Answer

The Clear Gloss Inkjet (CK) is unfortunately not considered a weatherproof material. For inkjet printers, you would need either the Weatherproof Gloss Inkjet (WI) or Weatherproof Matte Inkjet (WJ) materials.

Question 7

I have a package of these labels, and when we use our laser printer to run the info we are imprinting the information rubs off. Does that mean they are too old for to use or could there be an other matter that is being a potential oversight? They appear to have a powder coat when held to light. Please let me know thanks.

Accepted Answer

We apologize for the issue you have experienced with the toner not adhering properly to the material. To fix this issue, we recommend adjusting your printer's paper type setting to "Labels" or "Cardstock". This setting will typically apply more heat and pressure during the printing process to help the toner adhere better to the material surface. You may also want to try cleaning the printer's fuser unit as the excess toner on the fuser rollers can cause smudging issues as well.
