<div>For alcohol labels we have used a regular office laser printer (HP3015 and its predecessors) printing on laundry tag paper, which is high-cloth and heat-resistant, if slightly acidic, for many years with no problem. The important factor is the bonding
temperature; all the HP printers we've had so far use high heat to securely bond the toner to the paper. Cheaper printers intended for home use often don't generate enough heat to do this.

Resistall paper is fairly acidic and not ideal for ethanol collections. I would consider changing to a thermal transfer printing method that produces high quality, long lasting labels that are impervious to yellowing, cracking, fading, delamination, etc.</p>

<span lang="ET">We are currently holding our zoology fluid-preserved specimens in 70-75% EtOH (or trying to change old fluid to this). And of course we would like to print out the labels for them (to put them inside the jar). What kind of ink we have to use
to print these labels and be sure that the labels last well?</span></p>
