<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Generally speaking, it is not recommended to use laser printers as the “permanency” can vary significantly between machines, but also between batches. There are
many reported examples of failed laser-printed labels where one finds fading text or an “alphabet soup” at the bottom of the jar. Even dry laser-printed labels have been found to fail.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,<br>
I am looking for a waterproof paper to write with pencil labels for samples in ethanol.<br>
I have seen some institutions using polyethylene sheets, but these are not easily available on the market (or maybe I am not aware of a suitable provider in the EU).<br>
In contrast, sheets in polyester are easily available, even in convenient A4 format (laser printable if necessary), but I thought polyester has poorer resistance to ethanol. Maybe I am too concerned?
<br>
Do you have any suggestions or experience to share?<br>
Thank you and best regards,<br>
Paolo <br>
