Yeah, this is the trick I use. But it runs out quick. I print one-up
labels on this printer, and I barely get 2000 before the ink gets weak.
With WD-40, it wears out quicker. So I was looking for a better
solution. Also, I can't afford oil stains on barcodes, as the Post
Office is getting very pissy about clean barcodes these days.
