It depends upon the model. All Xyron's put "sticker paper" underneath the item you roll through, and once through, the item is sticky on the back, and you have to peel it off the sticker paper. However, there are a few models that have a clear overlay (kinda like Saran Wrap) that rests on top of the item you are making sticky that you also have to peel off. To me, this clear overlay is an ADVANTAGE.
I used to have the 500 (5" wide), which does not use this clear overlay. Every time I sent something through, the glue would peek out from the sides of the item I wanted to make sticky and get all over everything. With the clear overlay, you just rub the item before you take the overlay off, and it takes off all the excess glue with it. I complained to Xyron about this, and they replaced my 500 with a 510 (same size machine, but with the overlay) for FREE!
Just wanted to let you know. As far as I know, the 500 is the only model that does NOT use the clear overlay. (I have the X/150, the 510 and the 900, and have seen the 250).
HTH,
