The latter however seldom happens because modern day printers have built-in sensors that automatically react when fed with a wrong media. Why are inkjet labels better printed on inkjet printers? The primary reason being that the label surface is treated to absorb liquid ink and not toner.
During the printing cycle, liquid ink is sprayed directly into the label surface so the degree of absorption must really be efficient. Liquid ink is devised to dry quickly once it comes in contact with the label surface in order to avoid a condition called feathering.
Why are inkjet labels off-limits to laser printing? We are well aware that laser printers operate using extreme heat to fuse toner on paper.
It is like baking your goodies in the oven. Thus, any media that are not manufactured to meet the heat specification will sear, burn or crumble and cause it to jam inside the printer. This will ruin the resultant printouts and possibly affect the sensitive components of the laser printer. In a way this answers the question, can inkjet labels be used in a laser printer?

Operational Difference Inkjet printers deposit ink directly onto the label, while laser printers use heat to melt the toner powder and bond it to the surface.
Quality Difference Both inkjet and laser label printers provide outstanding quality, but one may still be more appropriate than the other, depending on your application. Contact Us. Why is it important to only use laser labels with a laser printer and inkjet labels with an inkjet printer?
Laser printing and inkjet printing are two VERY DIFFERENT methods of printing; products that are intended to be printed using laser or inkjet printers only will be manufactured using materials that work specifically with that particular printing method, in order to get the best possible print.
What are the differences between laser and inkjet printing? Without getting buried in detail, these printing processes work like this:. So how do the materials differ? Materials designed for use with laser printers will have good heat resistance and will allow the toner to be bonded in place on the surface of the material being printed, while materials designed for use with inkjet printers will have a slightly absorbent surface, which will absorb some of the ink droplets and so allow the ink to dry in place more efficiently and accurately, which helps to create a higher quality, higher resolution print.
Alright, but what would happen if I used the wrong material in the wrong printer? At best, you would end up with extremely low quality print results.
