<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Aqilah,<br>
<br>
you could either use Resistall or high quality transparent paper;
the information "acid free" usually refers only the the coating
surface and bottom layers of paper, but not necessarily for the
pulp in between (even though it should not act against the
promised properties). <br>
<br>
Laser-Printer and paper usually is not a combination, because the
laser toner is only coated to the surface and tends to peel off at
some point, resulting in letter soup.<br>
<br>
Inkjet printers with alcohol-proof ink is the far better option,
as the ink penetrates the paper and is more stable. Good printer
are the old HP 500 or 600/660 series which may be available used)
and Epson stylus with durabrite ink. There may be other ink jet
printers with archival ink, but I have no experiences with these,
so you would need to do some testing beforehand<br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>i wish to print the labels for wet collections which are
mostly preserved in ethanol, but I wish to use proper paper
(e.g. Byron Weston Resistall Paper) and ink (e.g. Black
India). What type of printer could I use? Byron Weston
Resistall Paper is said to be stable when wet however the
paper is not acid-free, could this cause a problem? Also,
what type of problems could arise from the use of normal paper
and ink with laser printers (e.g. HP laserjet)?</div>
