Products were good, and as represented. I have bought them in retail stores. This time I ordered over i'net. Every step was hard to do. I finally had to speak to a real person.
I had everything working great with my labels, did the practice run and everything was lined up... then it came out all smeary and unable to be used. Now I have 300 labels that I cannot use. There needs to be a warning or something on the packaging, on the website, or anywhere that says what printer can be used with this product before money, time, and energy is wasted. I guess it is off to the store again to find something else that works so I can finish my project in time.
Worse labels ever, laser print, ink jet printer it doesn't matter they all smear, I have wedding in 4 days and I cannot get my labels to print clearly.. HORRIBLE
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are so sorry these labels are smearing for you. Please reach to our Care Center using avery.com/contact and we will do what we can to help you!
I've been printing labels on this product for years, including for my hand-dipped candles that I make every holiday season. Just now I opened the new package of labels and printed new ones and they came out really bad. The paper didn't seem to absorb the ink at all. So I had to use a different label size (also Avery) and just cut them by hand. Very disappointed and hopeful that this was just a one-time occurrence.

We're sorry to hear that. You may have been using the Inkjet version of these labels (18660) which look similar but is compatible with ink. Unfortunately, Laser labels will always smear and smudge with an Inkjet printer. But please give us a call at (800) GO AVERY and our team can replace this pack with the Inkjet version.
These clear labels are basically okay and they get the job done, but they're very difficult to peel off the sheet after printing! Also, they'll smudge and smear until you let them sit out a while and dry, but I can even deal with that. When i try to peel each label off the sheet, the paper behind it peels off as well and it shouldn't. Then, trying to find the actual label and get it peeled off the paper sheet is very frustrating. I should be able to fly through this project, but it's taking me forever. I have 3 sheets of labels to peel off and stick on flyers and it's taking a huge amount of my work time. Also, if you don't have fingernails, I don't even know how you'd ever get these things peeled off!
Pros: Strong Adhesive
Cons: Tough To Change In and Out

We're sorry to hear that! If you get in touch with our consumer care center they should be able to check if you have received a defective pack. We may be able to replace these labels for you as well. You can reach us by phone at (800) GO AVERY or through e-mail at help@avery.com
The clear labels do not print properly. They smudge and are unreadable. We printed the same file avery 5160 white labels and it came out perfect. We did head cleaning and a nozzle check on the printer and they still came out smudged on the clear lable (15660). Is there something that we can do to fix this?

We apologize but our Laser labels will not be compatible with Inkjet printers. However, it looks like we have an Inkjet-compatible version of these labels with product 18660.
For some reason these labels would not print clearly On regular paper they looked great. My smaller address labels 5195 printed great. I did everything the same for both labels.
These labels do not work on an inkjet printer. It says laser printer. I wasn't aware of this when I bought them. When I used them on an Epson inkjet printer they smeared. However, I still liked the Avery.com site for templates to use with the white labels.
