Interesting. It struck me as odd that a company like Gerver would
not have any web presence at all.

By "Tjeck", would you mean "Czech" by any chance ? Thanks for the

I would settle for venilia-type adhesive plastic that can be laser

grey/beige and I'm happy. My only worry is durability (would the
toner rub off ?).
