processing sticky labels:
1 the surface of a label must by absorbent for the liquid of the ribbon
2 labels must not detach from the fanfold paper
3 if the edges do not adhere to the paper the label could get stuck under the
processing sticky labels on the printer with cutter:
- cutting through a sticky label leaves glue on the blade, leading to problems with the cutting device. small parts of a cut through label could detach from its paper and get stuck under the shield of the print head or even block the cutter completely.shield of the print head
