. No question, working with single label sheets is more convenient than with continuous label stock. Laser printers are faster and produce better- looking labels than other printers. But laser printers, which work by electrostaticphotographyrather than impactpressure,put different stresses on label paper. Each sheet has to bend over and through the guide rollers; moreover, fusing toner to the paper involves heat. You can eliminate trouble by always feeding label sheets manually.
Both Avery’s “Lasergraphic” labels and Canon’s labels seem to work fine. Your main concern is that the labels completely cover the backing sheet so it shows only at the outside margins. That way individual labels can’t easily peel off.
