<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">We have been printing using a laser printer (Lexmar MS310dn) on permafiber paper. We have been using this system for years but I have recently noticed that, particularly
on small (vial sized) labels, that abrasion is wearing/scratching off some of the ink (mainly from forcept or vial mouth). The label ink doesn’t bleed once immersed but I am still concerned with the long term viability of these labels.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
