I have no idea about paper, since I just switched to using glossy 
laser paper instead of Press'n'Peel blue, but I used to do all my 
press'n'peel at one time, and then use it for several months 
afterwards, and never noticed any difference with time. I used 
press'n'peel that had been around for nearly half a year when I got my 
laminator, and it transferred perfectly.
