Re: Labels waterproof?

        I don't think there is such a thing as waterproof ink for inkjet
printers.  Black runs less than color ink.  You can also put scotch tape on
top of the printed label to make it a lot harder for the ink to run.  What I
do though, is bag the fish and let the bags dry.  When the bags are fully
dry, I put on the labels- and there is no problem with ink running.
