we use Avery 6577 labels in our HP color laser and they are crisp and they

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Printing labels locally for LTO tapes (physically)

I've done it - generally in an emergency though.

I've found all of the IBM libraries to be very forgiving of rather amateurish 
looking lables.  I've only ever done them on a laser printers though.

Getting them to stick (and stay) on is always the most challenging bit!
