i print 2 ways. Wait! 3 ways.

use LASER PRINTER!!! NOT INKJET!!! For x's sake !!! inkjet bleeds.

1) Direct to card stock. Sometimes the wax polymer dust does not adhere to
the cardstock; symtom color flakes off. Resolve: change paper settings.
that may heat the toner/paper enough for a proper bind. another downside
Card stock curls. ive bought variouis weights card stock thru walmart
online.
or
2) print to labels and lay the labels on. again, Some flaking. Labels cost
more.
or
3) Print to paper and use spray adhesive from office despot dot com. Less
flaking. Get a LARGE piece of cardboard and lay a few sheets side to side
and spray all at once. the spray adhesive doesnt dry.   Dont breath it in.
I save old cereal boxes instead of buying cardboard.  use a guillotine
paper slicer for more accurate cuts.
