In particular the Dymo one with 3 layers, the clear layer over the top, is very resistent, although the colours are not UV proof. They will fade in full sun, but not as qickly as typed or inkjet printed labels. I've used the Dymo 4000 labels on towed underwater equipment. Wrapped round underwater equipment and covered with ordinary clear parcel tape they easily survive being towed around for a year. Dymo labels stick like limpets if you coat the substrate with contact cement before applying them. I use dymo labels on foot-long pieces of aluminum strip (1/8" x 1/2"), using contact cement precoating on the aluminum, and in the ten or fifteen years I've been doing this, only one has come off. Yes, most dymo labels fade in time, but being embossed you can still read them. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada [change "atlantic" to "pacific" and "invalid" to "net" to reply by email] |
