If you wish to see it on the screen, you may be happy with 
ToolTips:

e.g.,
ListPlot[Table[
   Tooltip[{ElementData[i, "Density"], ElementData[i, 
"BulkModulus"]},
    ElementData[i, "Abbreviation"], LabelStyle -> {Large}], 
{i, 1,
    100}], BaseStyle -> {Large, FontFamily -> "Helvetica",
    PointSize[0.025]}, PlotMarkers -> Automatic,
  AxesLabel -> {"Density", "Bulk Modulus"}, PlotLabel -> "MKS 
Units",
  ImageSize -> Full]

For printing:
There is something in the documentation for Annotation about 
Export and ToolTip, but I haven't tried that yet.

Another choice for printing may be to use Translate on 
a list graphics primitives created from text.
