Quick question about label casting. After printing my labels do I need to coat or spray it with anything to prevent the PR from causing it to bleed or run?
 
Depends on who you ask or who answers your question. You already have a definite yes. I do not use anything to seal my labels prior to casting and I have excellent results. But, I do think the label (number, mfg, etc) is important along with other variables. I'm sure you will get several responses.
Do a good turn daily!

....And I will be the first to contradict what Don says, lol. I coat all of my labels with CA and then throw em in the toaster oven for thirty minutes(on a rack not touching anything, 130°-160°) and I can cast immediately, way faster than 24-48 hrs than others may say. But I typically have too many things going on to have the opportunity to cast right away, so it ends up taking a day anyway. but I have done it with success! my .02 worth
