ok, this is horribly pragmatic, but it's real. yesterday i was in the westin playing rack and stack for five hours. an horrifyingly large amount of my time was spent trying to peel apart labels made on my portable brother label tape maker, yes peeling the backing from a little label so remote hands could easily confirm a server they were going to attack.
is there a trick? is there a (not expensive) different labeling machine or technique i should use?

Many label makers (including Brother) use tapes that have a split up the middle of the back layer, so you can peel it off half-at-a-time and not fight with finding edges, etc. Otherwise I suppose it's just a case of finding the knack. My label maker is of the cheaper variety and the tape i've been getting for it doesn't have the back-split, so I get to fight with it on the occasion that the knack doesn't seem to work... Mark.
