[Nhcoll-l] color laser printer for cardstock?

Thu Jun 2 10:42:24 EDT 2016

Hi Bill,
hi Andy,

well, the answer is not that easy, I guess. The paper conservators 
recommended laser printing with high quality toner for dry labels. As 
Andy said, this surely does not work for fluid labels.

Also, as printing is always the combination of printer (imprinting 
method) and printing medium (quality of the paper or cardstock), there 
might be different results. It would surely be worth to target for 
archival quality of the paper or cardstock, but you have to keep in mind 
that this archival "standard" only applies for the top and bottom layer 
of the sheet, but not for the pulp in between.

It might be worth to contact paper conservators or libraries, to figure 
out what paper or cardstock they could recommend, and then check for a 
suited printer (maybe there is some experience in archival dry labels in 
libraries).

So no direct answer to your question, I am afraid, but I hope it helps

Dirk
