Hi. John, yes, I have run the sheets through my laser printer partially used. It's my impression that the small laser I own is not as finicky as the beasts I used to use 10 years ago. I've printed laser transparencies, labels and a variety of papers with no problems...but I do see your point. I am the lab tech in our graphics department and every semester, someone tries to feed unique things to our color laser with confidence only to have it hang up or damage some internal component. It's always the week projects are due so the tech guy is on alert.

I pretty much think inkjets are a sink hole so I prefer laser. But then we all have our equipment preferences!

The only drawback I can see is that it's best to wait for an accumulation...which in my case would be forever.

So do you leave your slides un-labeled until you have have
sufficient to use up an entire sheet of labels?

I used to pay the rent by disassembling laser printers and
copiers to remove labels they had digested. It gave me an
absolute phobia of running partial pages of labels through
my laser printer.

Yes I did :) I went looking for my drawing pens this past
weekend. They must be in a box somewhere 'cause they aren't
in my desk.
