I’ve purchased these many times and always been happy with them. However, this last order smeared in my printer and tore when I peeled them off to stick them. Very unhappy. Avery, what happened??

We are sorry to hear this. These 5567 matte clear labels are only compatible with laser printers. If you are using an inkjet this will cause the label to smear. We have Avery 8667 which is the same label for inkjet printers. If you would like to reach out to our Care Team at 800-462-8379, we would be happy to help.
Addresses smeared and smeared both in color and black and white.

We are sorry to hear this. If you are using an inkjet printer, these labels will smear when they print. We would recommend a laser printer for these. If you need inkjet labels, we offer Avery 18667.
Every time I print on these, the ink smears. I tried letting the labels just sit for a full day and they still smeared when I ran a finger lightly over the words. Not good for using with items that are handled often or even if you want to press on them to make sure they are sticking to the item.
These labels are great! I use them as return address labels on envelopes and for so many other uses. I use them on time cards, catalogues, notebook dividers, and more. This is a versatile product.
Was very excited to use this for our wedding invitations. As i tried to follow the instructions it got more and more difficult. Slowly though i got through them even being fairly tech savvy. In the end though, the part that really annoyed me was the quality. they say use lable printer setting for optimum quality but as i have witnessed even my brand new out of the box printer has no such setting. It has 50 other settings but nothing to do with label making. as i look through the options to find something better the quality goes downhill steadily. i have now printed 800 labels and not 1 is usable. all of it garbage
Most recently: These clear labels worked perfectly for addressing wedding shower envelopes. We actually used them for the address portion rather than the return address. Because they are clear they looked nice on the colored envelopes, and they were easy to use with the database file the bride provided input the Avery software. I still use the old Avery software on my hard drive, but I imagine you could do the same thing with the Avery Design & Print Online software. Works great, easy to find in store, good price, combined with Avery software it makes great looking individual labels (they don't all have to have the same info... the software will put individual names and addresses in from your xcel file without much trouble.) You can even add an image, a flower, design, outline, etc. They are not too sticky on fingers, so they are easy to handle but they stick to paper just fine.
I have a group to whom I send newsletters periodically. It is important that the labels adhere properly and print legibly. The Laser 15667 labels (Avery), always print correctly and look great on my envelopes. I especially like the fact that they are clear, and they look like they might be printed directly on the envelope. I like that I can peel them easily from the backing paper, and sometimes I split the columns apart and put one of these label "columns" in my bag and use it whenever I need to fill in my name and address. I use other Avery products and I have excellent results with them, too.
