Am still using a dot matrix printer for producing labels on Shamrock label paper.
Would like to switch to a laser printer.
Labels need to be able to go in -80 freezer and somewhat water resistant.
Really sticky!

What label paper, software, printer do you reccomend?

A thousand thank you's for your response.

The -80 temp is the major problem. I assume that you will apply at RT, then
cool it
down and hope it doesn't fall off. Applying at -80 is a major headache ...

Labelmakers for blood banks make wonderful products capable of holding
at -80 and are moisture resistant, but I'm not sure they make blank stock
for laser printers. They may be able to direct you to someone, or custom
make something for you.

Try Avery "weatherproof" labels from Staples and other stationary stores.
