We have been using Dymo label printers for a couple of years and really like 
them.  However, we have discovered that over time our labels are fading 
(drastically--to the point of illegibility), and we are spending a lot of 
time reprinting them.  We have talked to another local library that hasn't 
had this issue, so are wondering if it is related to the plastic overlay we 
put over the labels.  Has anyone else run into this problem?

We have discovered that some label batchs will fade faster than others.
But we too are finding we have a fade away issue.
I will be looking for a media transfer type of label printer in the future.
