Never use LASER labels in INKJET printer !!

MY FAULT !! Avery 5520 Waterproof LASER labels were given to me by a friend who asked me to print him some labels. I missed the LASER designation and I was totally unaware there was any difference between LASER print paper and INKJET print papers. I read instructions, I followed online directions, and I waited an hour. THE INK NEVER DRIED. I searched Google to see what to do, and I found NOTHING on your Avery wedsite. I finally located a FACEBOOK comment describing if you use LASER paper in an INKJET printer it will NEVER DRY !!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Yes, using laser labels in an inkjet printer will cause smearing. Laser uses heat and powder to print, while inkjet uses a wet application to apply print.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always covered my labels with clear tape when I ship because I don't want them messed up if they get wet. With these waterproof labels now I don't have to do that. These make my life easier and they stick well!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed labels that would adhere to a rubber surface and these have worked great! After trying them for a few weeks they have remained attached without peeling or unsticking. They work very well in our printer (we are pre-printing some of what is needed and then filling in via pen once applied to the rubber surface). will definitely be buying these for our office use. Price is very reasonable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These labels have so many uses. They are waterproof and are great for mailings as well as labeling items around the house. It is so easy to use Avery’s templates to print items using printers. The size is nice so that the text doesn’t need to be too small.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used these printed labels for our family Christmas cards. They are very easy to print. Just download the template and use Microsoft Word. It makes everything easier. The print paper is of high quality and water proof.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Avery is the standard for all printable labels. Most printer software is already set to print to lots of different sizes of Avery labels so they are easy to use. And the labels are the highest quality - durable, strong adhesive and these waterproof lables truly are waterproof. Perfect for shipping to ensure your label doesn't smudge or fall off.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Avery - Waterproof labels with Ultrahold Permanent Adhesive, and have to say they worked well. I specifically used them for applying to boxes as we intend to move this Summer, and they printed clearly, and applied easily. They seem very durable to stand up to the humidity as I am in a Southern climate. Very good product!
