Thanks for sharing this video. I have an HP injet printer and I print all my candles and soap labels in it, matte, glossy, waterproof all sizes and it works great. It’s an HP 7200 series.

For a long time I had inkjet printers. A few years ago I bought a color laser printer. The biggest differences I see in print quality are: 1) the laser is definitely crisper, but 2) the laser doesn't render colors accurately. I *think* there may be more photo-friendly laser options now, so be willing to do you research on Best Buy, New Egg, etc. on the accuracy of color rendering if you go the laser printer route. (I have not used--and don't plan to use--my laser printer for labels, just documents, so accurate color rendering hasn't been a deal breaker for me.) Just throwing that tip out there! And thank you for all your helpful videos, Ashley!

The sound in this video is so low, that I hardly can hear. But thanks for the information.

Thank you for this video! I am struggling with printer selection and this was immensely

I have ordered my product labels from Avery from Day 1 for my tattoo balm. I order “waterproof removable vinyl stickers” that I use as labels… And for my cosmetic product… It literally makes them look so professional that one of my male friends said “this looks like something I would buy at Sephora“… So from day one my labels have been high-quality!

Avery is the only place that I can find waterproof versus weatherproof I also see around. I also advertise my containers as reusable so I want people to be able to easily lift and take the label off once they’re done using the balm inside the tin container.

I am now looking into purchasing a laser printer but still ordering the blank labels from Avery because I’m ready to expand making new product labels but I really don’t know how a new product is going to sell so I would rather print off very few at a time

And by the time I’m ordering new product labels from Avery multiple times I could’ve already purchased a laser printer from day one!

And even though I do get my labels from Avery in about a week… Sometimes I just don’t want to wait because I have a lot of work to do when I’m releasing a new product.

The only downfall is when you’re desperate for labels and they come back a little off-center from Avery you now have to wait another week for new labels… So I’m trying to avoid that now that my product is on Amazon and I potentially will have to make new batches of product when I’m getting low on stock.

I have the same inkjet printer and OMG yes! It's so amazing and it was so affordable! Especially since the hue of my labels and inserts are very faint and light.

[tyradraw]

OMG!!!! You answer every questions I’ve ever had about candle labels and printers.

I have no clue what printers Avery uses but they are phenomenal. I have a Brother printer and still not as vibrant as Avery’s.

Love how u broke down the three printers that u use. I have all but the laser. I’m planning a relaunch of my body butters and scrubs and want to level up to a luxe look. Unfortunately, I’ll have to work with the ink jet until I get the money for the laser. Thanks for recommending the matte water proof. By the way, your thermal can print your ingredient labels.

Thank you for the video 😊. Do you order label qty based on how many of one scent you are committed to making as a rule of thumb? Do you find that you ever have a lot of leftover labels that you never use? Thanks in advance.

[OceanBlueGreen]

Thanks Ashley! This was a great video. I made notes lol. You offered great tips.

[allthingsher]

I needed to see this video. I thought ai want to print all my labels at home but I don’t want the stress. What size is that thin label written side ways in your candle?

[glendacaudle]

I have a hp office jet 5200, is that a inkjet printer? and am I able to use Avery labels?

[KaciesHoneyPot]

Have you done a label with color? Could you tell a quality difference between the laser and inkjet? Thanks :)

[momsmushroomsjodyfoster]

I'm digging your verbage and humor. Feels like your a long time friend

[JEANNIEGRAVERAN-SANTANA]

You are hilarious and helpful!! Great combination ;) Need to name you new tree Ferb (Disney show called Fenius and Ferb- funny little kids cartoom)

My apologies if you've already addressed this question, but I'm having trouble with ink smearing when I'm printing on either glossy or waterproof paper that I purchased from online labels. Is it because I'm using an inkjet printer? No one told me this would be a problem as I have had much contact with their support team trying to understand the issue. Thanks for any help you can offer. My products are liquid and must be refrigerated so I need a weatherproof / waterproof label. What am I missing here? Why does the ink smear regardless how long it's been left to dry? That's a real problem if my customers have ink coming off in their hand

Hi could you please recommend a printer for printing glossy sticky perfumes bottle printers.
