6. The document of claim 1 , wherein the debris-removing coating includes a laser-receptive cleansing coating.
7. A document as in claim 6 , wherein the debris-removing coating is the product Ultraforce Phase 81.
8. The document of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second label, at least a portion of the second label releasably adhered to at least a portion of the second face so as to form, with the first label, a duplex self-adhesive label;
wherein the debris-removing coating associated with the at least a portion of the second face is positioned on the at least a portion of the second label.
9. A method of producing a document with debris-removing characteristics, the method comprising:
providing a document having a first face and an opposing second face, at least a portion of the first face including a first label releasably adhered thereto, the first label being capable of receiving printing indicia; and
associating a debris-removing coating with at least a portion of the second face to remove printer debris during passage of the document through a printer for printing the printing indicia upon the first label.
10. A method as in claim 9 , wherein the debris-removing coating is chosen from polymeric coatings.
11. A method as in claim 9 , wherein the document includes a colored sheet.
12. A method as in claim 9 , wherein the debris-removing coating is further associated with at least a portion of the first label.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein at least a portion of the second face includes a second label releasably adhered thereto and configured to receive printing indicia, the debris-removing coating associated with the at least a portion of the second face is positioned on at least a portion of the second label, the debris-removing coating associated with the at least a portion of the first label is positioned on the at least a portion of the first label, and the debris-removing coating is configured to remove printer debris during passage of the document through a printer while printing the printing indicia upon at least one of the first label and the second label.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the debris-removing coating includes a laser-receptive cleansing coating.
15. A method as in claim 14 , wherein the debris-removing coating is the product Ultraforce Phase 81.
16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
a second label releasably adhered to at least a portion of the second face so as to form, with the first label, a duplex self-adhesive label;
wherein the debris-removing coating associated with the at least a portion of the second face is positioned on the at least a portion of the second label.
17. A method of reducing printing contamination, the method comprising:
providing a document having a first face, an opposing second face, and a debris-removing coating, at least a portion of the first face including a first label releasably adhered thereto, the debris-removing coating associated with at least a portion of the second face to remove printer debris during passage of the document through a printer for printing indicia upon the first label; and
passing the document with the first label releasably adhered to the first face through the printer.
18. A method as in claim 17 , wherein the document includes a colored sheet.
19. A method as in claim 17 , wherein the debris-removing coating is chosen from polymeric coatings.
20. A method as in claim 17 , wherein the debris-removing coating is further associated with at least a portion of the first label.
21. The method of claim 20 , wherein at least a portion of the second face includes a second label releasably adhered thereto and configured to receive printing indicia, the debris-removing coating associated with the at least a portion of the second face is positioned on at least a portion of the second label, the debris-removing coating associated with the at least a portion of the first label is positioned on the at least a portion of the first label, and the debris-removing coating is configured to remove printer debris during passage of the document through a printer while printing the printing indicia upon at least one of the first label and the second label.
22. The method of claim 17 , wherein the contamination is ink deposits.
23. The method of claim 17 , wherein the contamination is paper dust deposits.
24. The method of claim 17 , wherein the contamination is adhesive build-up.
25. The method of claim 17 , wherein the debris-removing coating includes a laser-receptive cleansing coating.
26. A method as in claim 25 , wherein the debris-removing coating is the product Ultraforce Phase 81.
27. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:
a second label releasably adhered to at least a portion of the second face so as to form, with the first label, a duplex self-adhesive label;
wherein the debris-removing coating associated with the at least a portion of the second face is positioned on the at least a portion of the second label.
28. A method for removing printer debris, the method comprising:
providing a document with debris-removing characteristics, the document including a first face and an opposing second face, at least a portion of the first face including a first label releasably adhered thereto and configured to receive printing indicia, at least a portion of the second face associated with a coating configured to remove printer debris during passage of the document through a printer,
passing the document with the first label releasably adhered to the first face through the printer, and
printing the printing indicia upon the first face label during passage of the document through the printer.
29. The method of claim 28 , wherein at least a portion of the first label is associated with the coating, at least a portion of the second face includes a second label releasably adhered thereto and configured to receive printing indicia, the coating associated with the at least a portion of the second face positioned on at least a portion of the second label, the coating associated with the at least a portion of the first label is positioned on the at least a portion of the first label, and the coating is configured to remove printer debris during passage of the document through a printer for printing the printing indicia upon at least one of the first label and the second label, the method further comprising:
re-passing the document through the printer, and
printing the printing indicia upon the second label during re-passage of the document through the printer.
30. The method of claim 28 , wherein the coating includes a laser-receptive cleansing coating.
