My Fertile Mind at Work Again.
For this batch I bought Avery 8254 3.3 x 4Color Printing Matte White Labels.
In continuation of another thread, I printed out 4 ways.
Computer File at Kinko's on their Laser Paper is still my favorite for quality, resolution, brillance of color, & finish.
Print from Computer File at Kinko's on 8254, was equal in quality, but Kinko's Dude was having line up issues. I think he was trying to print my file, (already set to print on these labels) to print on these labels resulting in imaging being shrunk to not match labels.
My Ink Jet on 8254 would be next with some color shift issues, I am thinking this is caused by me having different color profile management setting on my printer and monitor.
My Ink Jet on my paper had the same color shift issues as well as lower apparent resolution. Thinking this is from ink bleed on the cheap paper.
The difference is minor and only apparent to my perfectionist requirements. If the 4 bottles were lined up on the table most would not notice any difference, except maybe, the text is a little darker on my ink jet.
After considering input on label dating from several sources; I decided, for most kits, to go with mmyy format using fermentation date .
However, I did note on another label done today,higher quality is not always a good thing. After printing them out on Kinko's Laserpaper I noted a strange mirage on parts of the label. Immediately realized, the perfectionist left under sprayed over lap strips when doing air brush on the back ground. They are note noticable on the monitor.
