Is it okay to print on plastic page protectors? - OMGrandom xx I'm going to label all of my binders for school. I was thinking putting those clear plastic page protectors through the printer to do that. Would that work? I have a laser printer and I would just be using black or white ink.

Best Answer: No, no, no, don't even try doing that. Standard plastic page protectors are not designed to go thru laser printers. The heat generated by the fuser assy to fuse the toner to the media will most certainly melt any plastic media not specifically designed to go thru a laser printer and cause you serious problems. You should only run media designed or approved for laser printers in laser printers, and some have even more stringent specifications than even the store brand laser approved media. Best thing to do would be to use labels (they do make clear ones if you like) as others have suggested, or purchase laser printer approved transparencies and use them as your dividers and attach tabs to them or something.

It could jam up your printer. Just make labels and put them on the page protectors. - Michele C

That would work great. If you have any doubts, you can always buy clear labels, print what you want on them, then stick it on the front of your protector. - high_heeled_empress

Read the box. Some you can uses in InkJet, not sure about LaserJet. Read on the box that the sheets come in. It should be able to tell you what type of printers you can uses them for. - Tinkertron
