Is this label legal and the price!!!!

[einsteinagogo]

I also print my own so can alter any dates and text. I doubt they can do anything about it as it doesnt go off.

Might print in future, we have colour laser.

Dont loose any sleep over it as there is nowt they will do about it as long as the label is legal they can change whatever they like.

laser printer, inkjet tends to run/smudge if they get damp. I found my jars get condensation on them when i take them out of the house and put them into the car to do a market. With the laser printer its not a problem.

Firm hold hairspray - lacquer- should "fix" the inkjet labels but laser is best for home produced labels.
Try Avery Design Pro (free) and 70 x 52 mm L7666 floppy disk face labels.

I've seen very long BB dates, what is the shelf life?

couple of thousand years

You can, for course, use the ever popular Crete label technique!

Are you sure it's not Marmite?

Not sure what it performs like but 700 currently have £30 cashback from Brother so could be sub £20 if you find the right price merchant?

A "direct thermal" printer makes a black dot by heating the special 'thermal' label material.

You might remember that this technology was commonly used on fax machines, and the attendant problems of fading with daylight and darkening on inadvertent heating.
I wouldn't be sure of the label staying clearly legible until the 'best before' date.
The Regs say the label must be 'permanent' - I don't know what that really means (nothing lasts forever), but at the very least 'as long as the goods described' would seem a reasonable interpretation.

This is the printer I like, I had an older version and It took me five years of constant printing before It died, I must of filled the ink cartridges 100 times
