Heh, I actually don't have a laser printer, I
used it in the kinkos copier. However, the
stuff really doesn't come off easily. If you
are worried you can simply test it by bending
a sheet of test paper repeatedly. I never had
any problems with mine. The only time it seems
to come off easily is in the water (and then it
really just turns to goo)
