Be careful with whatever you use as a "clear coat" if you print on "peal and
stick" label stock.  Before I decided it was far better for me to purchase
labels, I used a couple of different standard brand label stocks and a
couple of different "clear coat" products.    In my case, the "clear coats"
attacked the label adhesive resulting in the labels falling off the jars on
the retailer's shelf.   The labels appeared OK when I installed them.   A
week or two later, they started falling off.   If you decide to make your
own labels play close attention to Bob's advice and keep the "clear coat"
very thin.   I also found it easier to purchase a software package that was
specifically designed to make labels.
