FWIW.....I obtained a sample demo print-out at a computer store of what this Epson printer produces, and when I took the sample print-out home, dipped it in water, and rubbed my finger across it, it smeared...BIG TIME! ~Carol Simply Soap ® Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Well, don't know if this will help or not but ...here goes anyway....I am sure someone will speak up if not....last weekend I was in a store called " Best " <I am in Washington state> it is a electronic's store. But am sure you could get it in any computer store....they had/have a paper out now for either lazer or inkjet printers that the young man swore to me is water proof..and the color picture was beautiful!...it is made by Espon (sp?) the demo person had just left, but he said she even dipped it in water and the printing stayed just fine...can't remember the exact price I paid but I think it was like 9.99 for a ream (500 sheets) Now have not had a chance to " play " with it yet...hopefully this weekend....but did tell the young man that if it did not work--I WOULD come back to put the paper where the sun don't shine....LOL! And he said, he was so sure of it...he was not worried...so we will seeeeeeee! Maybe one of you computer whiz'z can check this out...I am a dunce when it comes to computers....anyway just some FYI--hope it helps Charlie! I'm SUCH a rotten gardner~~~ I have a rock garden~~an~~ Last week~~three of them died! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 We use a HPG55 and Epson printers for our labels but the HPG55 is perfect. For example I had to make a copy of a money order receipt to take to the post office and when the guy at the PO saw it he thought it was the original MO receipt. I also use this printer to print pictures from my digital camera onto Kodak picture paper and people could not tell the difference, we use it for promotional flyers and many other things as well, so finally when we added the waterproof shield to our B & B product labels they dry nice and shiny and our customers are VERY happy with it. Ladies & Gentlemen this really works. Be Blessed!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I've been using the labels for about 3 months, now, and have never had one run. The post I'd read about them was that they'd soaked them for 15 minutes in water, and they hadn't run. I've used them on shower gel bottles that I sell to a bed and breakfast, and you know those must get alot of use - these aren't one-use ones that people take with them, these are bigger bottles, and just topped up after each guest. And she's never mentioned a problem with them looking bad. I don't know about oil proof. I'd think maybe oil could stain it with a water-mark look, but I don't think it'd run. Exciting, I know. Such an inexpensive, simple solution! That's why I shared! I saw the ad for waterproof labels, and thought I'd let y'all in on it. I've really been happy with the performance of the Epson, too. Nice and fast. I finally unplugged my hp, because I just wasn't using it, and I'd picked it for its' speed. >> the labels don't run, even in the shower? Are they oil proof as well?
