Re: Laser Printing of Adhesive Labels

[Jason Abreu <jason.abreu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would be sure to look for a trusted brand, such as Avery, and 
specifically look for labels for laser printers.  They are made to 
withstand the heat of the fusing process without separating from the paper.

As far as printers go, the safest option is one that prints to the "top" 
of the paper, as it sits in the feed tray, and feeds it out "face-down" 
in the output tray (think of a side-ways 'U').  That way the adhesive 
wouldn't be under stress by curling the paper away from the labels.
