For standard linear tape labels, making a sharp s-curve bend in the =
label near one end will often cause the backing to readily separate from =
the label at that end.
Brother used to include a nifty little tool for doing just that stuck in =
the bottom of many of their P-Touch labelers. Don't know if they still =
do or not.
This trick also works on the linear tape labels on the Brady I mentioned =
in response to JRA's question as well.
For the self-laminating cable labels, the labels don't stretch all the =
way to the edge of the backing, so, simple bending of the backing and =
attacking with fingernail works pretty quick and easy.
