For the regular Brother labels, my trick is to fold down the corner a little, that usually makes it easier to peel. You can also cut the "whitespace" off the end and that sometimes helps. Sorry if this was a double post, but I don't think I saw either of these suggestions in the thread already. If so make that a +1. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: Randy Bush [mailto:randy@psg.com] Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 4:09 PM To: North American Network Operators' Group Subject: time sink 42 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? randy
