Yes George, that's more or less what I had in mind. The only other
alternative is to go lowtech and get out the old typwriter, (smile).
I do see plenty of folk resorting to a do-it-yourself format which, of
course, doesn't comply with regs. Not heard of anyone being challenged as
yet, but the postal consession is one free service worth keeping.

Hi Ray,
We use both Seiko and Avery personal label
printers, and they are worth their weight in gold.
Unfortunately however, because they are thermal
printers, they only print black.
The Post Office regulations clearly state that AFB
labels should have the words "Articles for the
Blind", a postage stamp box with the words
"Postage Free", plus a section where the return
address can be printed. All this has to be in
green ink. The word "CECOGRAMS" should be printed
in blue and placed beneath the words "Articles for
the Blind".
The sender's and recipient's address can be in any
clearly readable colour.
Now I do stress that these are a summary of
International AFB regulations, so please don't
send me a barrage of, "We've done them on our
laser printer for years" type messages.
What we in fact do do ourselves, is to print up
sheets of A4 labels, 8 to view, as described
above, but minus the recipient's address. We then
use the personal thermal printers to do a small
label as required.
It does mean using two labels, but saves us a lot
of time.
George.

Katheryn. I'll admit freely that I cannot give
you a definite answer to the question you pose.
But two things come to mind.
First, AFTB labels are much smaller and usually
come in rolls and I think they are a bit less
flexible than A4 A65 sheets of labels.
Second, being smaller, maybe its more difficult to
keep them straight as they go into the printer.
So I would be afraid of them getting suck in the
printer more easily.
I do not know if I am right about this, but I
suspect I could be.
Another approach, which involves spending money
I'm afraid, is to by one of the small USB thermal
printers designed to print onto small rolls of
labels.
These in turn could be stuck onto an AFTB.

Hi,
What makes them different to sheets of labels that
you buy for printing?
Not saying you're wrong, but just wondered what
the difference is so why one
is safe and not the other.
