And this is how I use it :Here is my "fix" for hard platens in my collection.

I just use a sheet of this Avery product as a backing sheet to my typewriter paper.

I cut the sheet to the size of my typing paper on my flat-bed paper cutter.

I keep the peel & stick backer-paper on the laminating sheet and place its clear plastic side in touch with my typing paper.

In a month or so when the laminating sheet is full of typing "dimples", I just toss it and start with a new sheet.

The laminating sheet provides for a soft landing surface for the type-slugs before they contact the platen.  And it makes for quieter hits on the platen, as well.

When my local office supply does not have the Avery sheets in stock, I get them on eBay.
