For an example: |

This approach allows you to use any laser/injet printer. |
| 27 |
You have to match the form numbers up between the sheet |
| 28 |
of paper and the printer software, as they define the number |
| 29 |
and geometry of the lables to the printer. |

|

What you are going to do is ok for small volume. But your per label |
| 32 |
printing costs will be significately higher than using standard |
| 33 |
label forms, imho. |

If you have lots of lables to print, having more than one machine |
| 45 |
is not a bad idea anyway.... |
