HI GUYS! its been forever! hope all of you guys and gals are doing well.
i hope i put this question in the right section. if not i will slap myself on the hand. LOL
i have an Epson WF1100 and i want to make some water bottle labels for a party.
the little research that i have done so far say to use water resistant or water proof label?? not sure if this is some type of AVERY product or not. one site even mentions durabrite inks so that the label color dont run. anyone ever made these? if so, what should i use.

This material will work with the stock ink that comes with the WF1100. 

You can buy it in lots of 10 sheets.

Ken,

Have you ever lamintated the Papilio vinyl with a clear laminate?
I made a couple decals out of the material, laminated them with Oracal laminate and put on my van. I noticed the other day that the print behind the clear laminate must have gotten wet and it looks like crap, running down the window.

The laminate is put in using a commercial laminator with tension rollers which I have used for years but this is the first time I 've seen this problem.

Just curious if you had any issues like this with this vinyl material.

Hi Mike,

No issues with the product on labels I have tried using Cobra pigment ink.
I didn't laminate it. It was for labels on product demos of body lotions. The bottles and jars were handled regularly with no smearing.

Permanent waterproof labels can be made using sublimation and Mates. I use this product for my stickers used outdoors.
