<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Joosep,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">there is a very good overview on this
topic on the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://spnhc.biowikifarm.net/wiki/Labeling_Natural_History_Collections">SPNHC
WIKI pages</a>, but there is no easy straight forward answer to
this question, because "printing" always is a combination of
printing medium, printing method and the printer itself and thus a
lot a variables that influence your result, i.e. the label that is
placed in the jar.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Sadly, printers and required inks and
toners change constantly and at high rate. Parts of our
collections for example still use the good old HP600 monochrome
fossils, but HP decided to finally end the production of the ink
cartridges. So it would be good to have an eye on 'availability'
(how long have specific printers been on the market, how likely is
it that they will still be supported in 20 years from now).<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">In your case, I would look into inkjet
printer that use a system similar to that of the old HP printer,
which boil up the ink and shoot them into the paper, so that the
pigments of the ink penetrate into the pulp of the paper and not
only sit on the covering layer. This improves abrasion resistance
of the imprint. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The are quite a few inkjet printers
that are rated to produce permanent /archival-quality prints, i.e.
these printers should use a high quality pigment ink. But it might
be worth checking available details of the ink and the printing
method. I once tested durability of labels by putting specimens
(field tags and gill tags) into a PE-bottle and put it in a
washing machine for a full cold washing programme to see of gill
tags would stay in place and test tables for abrasion resistance
before we left for field work on extremely bumpy roads in Africa

<p class="MsoNormal">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

labels last well?<o:p></o:p></p>
