Re: weatherproof

As I said, these aren't cheap. the smallest quantity listed is 100 sheets at $59.95. but for my 80 count sheets that's 8000 labels and will last a while, but they will get used and they will appear to last for a length of time I need. I haven't tested them in summer heat though, just over winter.

After looking at some of my missing labels, I think I need that website
again.

It's balmy this am so after crossing the street to get my paper, I took

the

long way back, returning via the back door so I could view the crocus and
iris, and check the progress of the Hylotelephium, oriental poppies, and

the

Colchicum.  Then I noticed the test markers I put out last fall.  Chris L
steered us to a website offering supposedly weatherproof inkjet labels.

I

contacted the company and asked for a sample; they were quite generous.
Well, the black ink on these labels is as dark and readable as the day I

put

them out there and they've been through -20F temps, heavy snow, lots of

wind

and rain.  They aren't cheap, but not overly expensive either,

considering.
