is there a trick? is there a (not expensive) different labeling machine or technique i should use?
Like others, I use a Brother P-Touch with TZ tapes with a split down the middle. However, the last couple of tapes had splits that weren't cut quite right, and they wouldn't peel easily. What I usually do in that case (or with non-split tape) is to curl the end of the tape across the blade of my pocket knife. The tape and the backing curl differently, so this makes it easy to then get the blade of the knife between the tape and the backing and separate them. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
