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?
1) You should make sure you're buying the newer crack-n-peel labels, on which the backing is scored along the center. 2) If you have the older stuff, bend a corner sharply from the plastic side (front) towards the paper side (backing). The plastic label has more spring in it, and will spring back away from the paper -- which will stay bent -- and you'll have some separation that you can peel from. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
