I use weather resistant white labels (I get them at Uline, but they're not the only place you can find them) and use a color laser to print them.
It's not perfect, the print will rub off eventually, (and quicker if it's exposed to oils) but it's the best solution I could find.
When I was doing extensive pricing, I learned that most labels you get done professionally actually have a second layer laminated to them to provide the waterproof factor, it's not something that's easily replicated at home. It's just too much of an investment to get a bunch done since you need to get up around the 10,000 mark to make them as cost effective.
Of course there's always the option to buy a REALLY fancy label printer but again, one heck of an investment!
Haha! Don't stop I'm learning good stuff here! I actually didn't know that about the serif fonts, I've always leaned to the sans serifs, but then I learned design for web which is a different beast.
