![]() ![]() Load the Sheets Carefully - One simple thing that can help is to make sure that you very carefully load the sheets of labels into your printer tray. We recommend that you do this test even after testing on regular paper, as some printers might load the sheets of labels with different alignment than regular paper, since they are considerably thicker and heavier. This will keep you from wasting multiple labels in case the alignment is off. You can also do a test by filling out the content for just one label on the template. If it is not aligned and/or your content on the test page would have gone off the edge of the labels, follow the tips in the section below to correct the problem. Then, hold up the test sheet against the labels to see if your print was aligned. We pride ourselves in giving personal support for our customers.ĭo Test Prints on Regular Paper or Just One Label Firstīefore printing to your labels, in order to avoid wasting labels in case there is an issue, we recommend that you first try a test using a blank sheet of regular paper. If you have any questions or are running into problems, contact usand we will help you out. However, especially for our 0.5” round labels, the labels are so small that even a slight misalignment might be noticeable. You normally would not notice these alignment issues when printing normal documents on regular paper as the paper margins are large enough so that your eye won’t see if things aren’t perfectly centered. The higher quality your printer is the more likely that the alignment will be good “out of the box” without having to make any adjustments. Many cheaper home printers simply do not have the precision for your content to be perfectly aligned on the labels without making some adjustments. Printing on very small labels requires a very high degree of precision for your printer. ![]() Why Do Print Alignment Issues Happen When Printing to Small Labels? We recommend to leave a little space as a "safe zone" between your content and the edge of the labels in the template, so that your content won't print off the labels even if there is some variation in the way your printer loads paper. If you discover this is the case, you can either shift your text/graphics in the template document, or adjust the margin settings in your printer page setup. This can result in the template might not be exactly aligned with the labels. Many printers have slight variations in the way they load paper, and the paper might not physically be centered correctly by your printer. Line up the test page with the labels, and make sure that your text and/or graphics line up properly with the labels.ĭepending on your printer settings or printer, you might need to make slight adjustments to get things centered.
