I only use vinyls with a laser printer. But if it is photographic detail that you're after, you'll do better with an ink-jet, especially if you want glossy. Just be aware that you're only dealing with a print area that is about 7/8" on a 1" label, so you probably don't want to end up with a lot of small details that might require a magnifying glass. And you'll also want to use some sort of glossy spray to protect your printing before applying the labels to your chips.

I'm about to order 100 sheets of 1" labels from onlinelabels to do just that.

I considered having either Jason or Lynbark do these up for me, and based on what I learn here I may still do that.

But I have designed a chip label set that uses several photos, alot of finely detailed graphics and fontwork, and lots of bold, saturated colors.

I have test printed my designs to photo glossy paper on my inkjet and I'm VERY happy with the results.

I'm afraid that a laser printer -- ANY laser printer -- would not be able to match the sharpness and vividness that I've achieved off my inkjet.

But before I take on the challenge of doing this myself, I'd really love to hear opinions from the experts here.

Thanks!
