Abstract
A method for preparing and printing adhesively-backed notes includes several steps. A divisible note assembly for printing in a laser or ink-jet printer or photocopier is first prepared. The note assembly has a divisible backing sheet and a divisible note paper sheet having a pressure sensitive adhesive coating thereon. The assembly is divided into at least two subsections by perforations extending through both the note paper sheet and the backing sheet. The user prints onto one or more notes with a laser or ink-jet printer or a photocopier. The user may separate one or more subsections from the assembly either before or after printing. If separated before printing, the user may print on less than the full assembly and may save the remainder of the assembly for later use. After printing, the user removes the backing sheet from the subsection and applies the note paper to a substrate. Each note may have an adhesive stripe on the back thereof, with the backing sheet being a strip that covers the adhesive stripe but which is not fully coextensive with the note paper sheet.
