I use cheap cheap office depot paper. If you get both sides of the paper wet with milk, it should not curl. If you only do one side of the paper, it will curl. So either dunk the paper completely under the milk, or brush (or spray) the front of of the label after you apply it.

And keep an eye out for cats until it dries.

Well I've been using my normal paper and a gluestick, but I would like to try this since my printer is an inkjet and if the labels get wet at all, the ink just runs. So, applying those with milk won't really turn out that great.

Here are my latest bottles I did 36 of each and I can tell you wow I think 12 is enough that gets to be a PITA really quickly but the results are good

Doesn't seem like anyone has confirmed the best weight of paper to use at Kinkos, unless I missed it. Anyone?

just use regular paper. I print on 11x17 . I think it's 20lb paper.

Simple offer paper and a laserjet printer result in a great label!
