I researched printers a lot when I wanted one to make my labels. I ended up with an Epson...everyone that prints pictures or labels for their quilts has suggested that one. I like the ink it doesn't fade or blur so much...even on paper. The Epson does come with several different Ink choices some better than others. I have the claria ink in mine, but I know there is a better choice now. I quit using my HP because my ink blurred so bad - a drop of water on an envelope smeared it.
