The other benefit to spun bound polyester is that insects will not touch the stuff :)

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

Laser printers do not produce archival labels and are temporary at best.  I would suggest that you invest in a thermal transfer printer that prints onto spun bound polyester with SDR ribbon - a system that wet collections have been using for some time now and that produces long lasting, "permanent", indestructible labels.  See attached.  Happy to send you some samples labels to evaluate if it will help.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] color laser printer for cardstock?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a color laser printer which can handle 67lb cardstock for specimen labels?  In particular, the fuser should be able to fuse the ink well.

Thanks!
Bill
