>From my observations, I can tell you that some have gone to laser printing 
using Print Templates, using various label stocks (spine only, or spine + 
pocket), and using virtually any laser printer. Others have used our Print 
Wizard software (with similar variations).

Another option is to use a one-at-a-time thermal transfer label printer, 
such as a Zebra.

I can also tell you that virtually everyone does labels a different way! 
There is little if any consensus (or "best practices") on what should be 
on them, in what order, in what font sizes, or on how to break the line.
