Whats the best method for printing that can block IR light completely? -

I need to print on a thin waterproof surface preferably in color. Similar to the labels they create for wine bottles. I also intend on creating barcodes so I need the blacks to block IR light.

For barcodes, and other decent quality labels that are self - adhesive, the best printers are made by Zebra or Eltron (same company now). They are expensive, and the media (labels) are not cheap, but the results are superb. They are also really fast. So - if you re about to go into business, have a look for a new or second-hand Zebra label printer. If you are looking for a bottle label, then you re into the industrial range, from ￡600 to ￡3500 approx (plus VAT). http://www.zebra.com/ http://www.zebra.com/id/zebra/na/en/inde… An indication of prices here: http://www.zebraprintershop.com/zebrapri…

The best thing to do is find a printer that can do UV Coating or Aqueous Coating. This gloss coating is weather proof, smudge proof, etc, and will have your labels lasting for a long time. The nightclub I work for had some labels printed for our water bottles, we used ReducedPrinting.com (you need to call them, as this is an item not listed on their website).

u need a special printer for commercial use that prints bar codes seperatly. a normal printer does bar codes it doesn t matter which color or size or quality bar codes are read using the distance from each bar.
