Labels for Laser & Inkjet Printers

Laser and Inkjet Labels are ideal for utilizing your standard home or office printer.  Flexibility and low cost make sheet-form labels an excellent choice for on-site, on-demand printing. 

Electronic Imaging offers a wide variety of laser & inkjet labels well beyond what your local office superstore offers.  Our years of research and development make us leaders in solving laser and inkjet label applications. * From basic paper to high-performance synthetics, we’re sure to have the ideal solution for your next printing job.  Check out our Premium Label Stock List for Laser and Inkjet Sheet Labels.

If you are not sure what the best label material is for your application, simply let our Label Experts help you. We’ll send you samples for testing.

Our Stock Sheet Form Labels in come in two popular materials and over 20 common sizes. 

• Matte White 830 paper fits most common laser and inkjet label requirements. 
• Water-Resistant 815 Laser Paper works in cold temperatures to handle many tougher paper label needs.

Over and above your typical web store, Electronic Imaging offers CUSTOM LABELS for Laser and Inkjet Printers – in any size, with any laser or inkjet material. *   We can preprint all or part of your labels with colored graphics or text if you don’t have a color printer.   We even offer tinted, color-matched labels to fit special projects.   

When you have decided what material and design you need, just let us know what label size you need.  We have hundreds of tools on hand so it’s likely we have the size you want or something very close.  If not, and you need something exact, we offer reasonable one-time tooling fees and can even do prototype, die-less samples to make sure the layout will work for you.   Our laser and inkjet products come both in 8.5” x 11” and 8.5” x 14” sheet sizes.

*   Please Note:  The choices of Laser and Inkjet label materials are somewhat limited.  There are special reasons for this:

Laser Label Printing uses a heating process that transfers toner to a laser sheet.  Unfortunately, it also heats up the label material and causes certain substrates to curl or melt as they pass through the fuser process. Additionally, special thick adhesives suitable for temperature extremes, chemicals or textured, rough or dirty surfaces tend to ooze as they heat up and may cause jamming. 

Inkjet Label Printing uses a wet ink process that requires label materials to quickly absorb and dry the ink as it passes over the labels.  Hard synthetics such as polyester simply do not let the ink penetrate the label surface.  With a limited number of paper and synthetics, there is a comparable limit to the choices of adhesives and until there is more demand, raw material suppliers are not producing a wide selection of label materials and adhesive combinations.

If you can’t find exactly what you need in laser labels, we suggest switching to Thermal Transfer Labels.  Thermal transfer printing does not require printing temperatures as high as laser printers and therefore there is a much wider selection of label materials and adhesives available.  This technology uses printing ribbons that come in a wide range of formulas and colors to match label substrates and tougher label applications.  With thermal transfer labels, you can get high quality, very durable images that hold up against not only water, but many chemicals, UV light and other tough conditions.

As a bonus…Many people actually prefer thermal transfer labels because it uses roll-form labels allowing you to print one label at a time instead of full sheets.  If you do not have a thermal transfer printer, we offer affordable, Complete QuickStart™ Label Printing Systems including easy-to-use printers and software.  Ask our Label Experts for more information about our Thermal Transfer Labels.
