Tips for printing labels
1. Make sure your printer has full ink cartridges.
2. Test print your labels onto a plain sheet of copy
paper first to test how they look and if they will fit onto the jar.
3. Wipe down your jars- make sure they are very dry
and not at all sticky.
4. If you think your jars will sit for a long time
before being used, consider using double sided scrapbooking tape to
reinforce the label.
5. If not using waterproof labels- tape over label
with clear packing tape if you are worried abou them getting wet and
smudged.
