I'm also getting ready to make a green sauce, got tomatillos, pablanos, jalapenos, serranos, bartlett pears, red onion, garlic. Was thinking about roasting them on the grill then tossing in some rice wine , water, salt (maybe some sugar???) heating it a bit then maybe running it through the food mill to get most the pulp.

Inkjet is actually way better for color reproduction because it uses ink, not toner (like a copier does). There's a bit of a misconception that ink printers suck, when, the best printing in the word (called offset printing) is done with inks not toners. The problem is, at the consumer level, some of the inkjet printers are so bad, people think laser is better when no, a better inkjet printer is! Then, you buy the labels that lock the ink in (waterproof labels) so the ink sets. Laser is okay for graphs and such, but once you get into photographs, there's a reason you use inkjet. (PS. Ever print a photograph on laser? Now you see. On ink jet? Looks like a photograph from a lab. And does not smear because photo paper locks it, same as the right labels.).
I agree. The paper is the biggest upgrade. Inkjet on the waterproof labels is night and day compared to Avery regular labels.The Hot Pepper said:

is there an avery label you recommend? I got these because salsa lady had recommended them on another thread. obviously i'm just doing this as a hobby so can't invest $50+ in labels
I've always recommended these and people have posted rave results but not sure of cost. TC uses too I think? https://www.onlinelabels.com/weatherproof-labels.aspx
PS. Since I don't make sauce bottles and labels myself, cannot speak personally but have seen good results.

It's in ketchup and BBQ sauce so yup works. The granulated/minced will just take a bit more blending, wait till rehydrated, then whirl.
Alright, I got the fire roasted garlic, 5 tomatillos, jalapenos, serranos, pablanos, one red onion, 2 bartlett pears, toasted onion and garlic, kosher salt going on the stove with just enough water to cover everything, I want to say 3.5 cups Added a good portion of a leek as well.
Will wait until it's blendable, taste test and see what needs to be added vinegar and sugar wise. I'm sort of leaning toward a handful of brown sugar.

Sounds good. I could see honey working well too if broken up with some lime juice.
No worries, def pick a sharp vinegar then... 
DUDE! This tastes great!!!
Hit it with the stick blender real quick to get a taste test
I don't think i'm going to change it. Perfect level of heat and sweetness. Didn't add any sugar. Pears and tomatillo added plenty of sweetness. Can't wait to taste it after it has bottle conditioned for a few weeks. Still need to check ph. Eating real quick while bottles boil.
