Abstract
A printer note construction consisting of repositionable adhesive coated (discontinuously) substrates removably affixed onto a backsheet, such that the construction can pass through a personal computer printer without damage to the printer or to the article (wrinkling, tearing, folding, releasing, etc.). Typically, this construction would be pre-assembled and packaged in a manner similar to point of sale label stock. Alternatively, a preprinted backsheet template wherein, repositionable notes (such as Post-it.RTM. brand notes) from a typical pad of notes, are aligned with the template markings and then run through a personal computer printer.
