I am told that if you take a piece of paper that you printed on, putit back in the printer, and print on it again, that this will hurt theprinter. Is this true?

Not if you turn it around and print on the other side. There's a tiny element of truth here. If you print on a laser printer, then use the same paper again, its moisture content has sometimes reduced to the point where it jams. And some jams are always bad! Also, reprinting partial sheets of labels is a big no-no. -- Bob Eager Use the BIG mirror service in the UK: http://www.mirrorservice.org |

I do that all the time with no real problems. If you don't do that when you only need one or two address labels, it will cost you a small fortune in wasted label sheets, which can be VERY expensive, especially for the "clear" label sheets. The trick is to print the bottom rows first, even only 1 label sometimes. The top of the label sheet will then stay rigid enough to accurately pull into your printer, provided you don't otherwise bend or mangle the label sheet between uses. Harry |

The issue with labels is if you reprint on a partially used label sheet using a laser printer, the glue on the labels gets heated a second time and some label stock does not survive that well resulting in labels coming off in the printer and sticking to rollers (usually an expensive fuser). The question of paper drying out and sometimes curling when printed on a laser printer is also real. Generally reprinting on an inkjet is fine but on laser printers is not the best practice.

No need to put the paper back through the printer... Um...with most of the duplex printers I've seen, the paper DOES go through twice... -- Bob Eager Use the BIG mirror service in the UK: http://www.mirrorservice.org |

As noted by Tony, it's dangerous with laser printers (probably more with older ones, which seem to run hotter). And I guess I was really thinking of that.... -- Bob Eager Use the BIG mirror service in the UK: http://www.mirrorservice.org |

I wouldnt trust running labels through a laser twice. Agreed. However, they usually go through the fuser twice...which is the hot bit! On my LJ4+, the paper goes from the input tray, drum, fuser...then into the duplexer holding area which is BELOW the input tray. Then it feeds up as if it had come from the input tray, drum, fuser....exit. That last bit of the paper path is quite curved and happens only once. -- Bob Eager Use the BIG mirror service in the UK: http://www.mirrorservice.org |

I have printed individual labels from a 6x3 sheet for many years first on a HP Laserjet III and now on a 5L. Not one problem that I can recall. Maybe just lucky with the label stock I use. -- AnthonyL |
