Thats a great label although do yourself a favor and only print 1 small picture on regular paper first as dark colors dont always print so well.

Looks great - but - and it could be the computer screen - the purple text is hard to read on the black background.

Good point Wade. I was thinking of purchasing black label, and remove the black background from my label.
Searched online, but could not find labels with black background...bummer. I will experiment with other colors.
I agree the purple text is a bit hard to read...maybe it is the text shadow. Will play with photoshop a bit more.

Great label and my first impression was the purple text was hard to read also.

Ok how about this? I plan to use Gloss Clear Laser Weatherproof (Laser Only) transparent sheets from sheet-labels (search SL532). I could not post the url of the sheet that I was going to use. Since I use photoshop, I will not enable the background color before printing. The background color will be the combination of the wine and the dark bottle color.
I added the background color in the attached picture to show the kind of label it will look like when it is on a bottle.
As always comments and suggestions from the wise men and women in this forum is always welcome.

I think it looks great. I liked your first idea of the colored font but it was just difficult to read. This is nice!

That should be awesome, just make sure you alwayz print 1 az a test first, too many times I thought it would work fine only to find a few pages that had to be filed in the circular file can!
