Re: Labeling Prints?

["Jim Wingo" <jimw203@mindspring.com>]

I might suggest you contact Avery with the same question. If that proves
fruitless, the pencil solution offers two advantages: 1) it's cheap 2) it
allows freedom to 'customize' what you put on the print. A possible third
would emerge if you have the ability to write well (and legibly) and have
an attractive signature. Failing that, as an alternative, you might contact
a rare book dealer or paper conservator and ask about archival labels that
can be used as you want. One supplier of all sorts of materials used in
archival storage is University Products; their online shop is at
http://www.archivalsuppliers.com/shop/. Once there, click on 'Labels' in
the sidebar to get to a listing of all types of labels. You should ask them
about your particular application before ordering, though.
