Here's a little trick that works really well for those types of labels. Ha=
ve you watched professional wrappers at Christmas time curling ribbon with =
a pair of scissors? It works for removing the backing from the labels as =
well. Hold the backing of the label against the side of a pair of scissors=
/ knife / even a key with some sharper points on it, and drag it across th=
e edge. This will make the ends separate a little bit, allowing you to tak=
e hold and easily separate the pieces.
Check out this site that shows it being done with scissors if you've never =
seen it=20
http://www.wikihow.com/Curl-Ribbon=20
Make sure it's the backing side being scraped across the scissors, not the =
printed side.

ok, this is horribly pragmatic, but it's real. yesterday i was in the west=
in 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 l=
abel tape maker, yes peeling the backing from a little label so remote hand=
s 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?
