I've heard mixed reports from people varying from "it works, but will result in bad things" to "it will not work, period" when it comes to mixing labels on media types. The issue we face right now is we need to order more tape, and would rather not order LTO3 when it will just be pitched anyways, but we don't have LTO4 labels yet. We may end up trying to print out own if we have to.
