Frequently Asked Questions
Can I print laser labels with an ink jet printer?
No! Our labels are designed for laser toner fusing process only. These labels will not absorb water-based inks.
Will these labels work in a Laser Jet printer?
Hewlett Packard LaserJet branded printers are actually a laser printer with the standard dry toner fusing process so they should work.

Is it ok to put the sheet through the laser printer repeatedly?
It is not recommended because the sheets get heated to high levels during the toner fusing process
and repeated trip through the printer can lead to mis-feed issues and jams.

Yes. Our product is designed with a special UV-inhibitive property to prevent toner degradation due to UV exposure.

Do these labels meet UL Standards? http://www.ul.com/
Currently there is no UL standard that applies specifically to labels that are installed in a wrap-around
fashion. Some companies will mention UL recognition for their self-laminating labels
but in fact the recognition they are referencing is only valid if the label is applied
to a specific flat surface material (stainless, aluminum, etc.) as directed by the
UL marking standard rules. Applying those labels in a self-lamination method on
wires or cables technically invalidates any UL recognition.
Print Protect Labels
Print Protect Labels are a full-clear version of our most popular label sizes.
These labels are used as a clear protective layer over the top of any existing labels
you may already have. Non-laminated labels are at risk of scratching, moisture damage
and UV fading. If you have labels that are beginning to peel, this is a great solution
to stop further damage.
Using Print Protect Labels is a great money saving solution compared to the
labor intensive task of removing, reprinting and re-applying labels on existing
installations. You'll save an incredible amount of time and labor by simply using
our Print Protect Labels to laminate over your old inferior labels.
