Bought sheets of sticky labels? Your labels can print exactly where the stickers are.
- At the last step, under “What are you printing on?”, click “Label sheet from a shop”.
- Click the “Your sheet” field: the list of sheets opens. To shorten it, type the code printed on the box (for example L7160), the brand, or the size of one label (for example 63.5 x 38.1). Click your sheet in the list.
- If your label's shape does not match the stickers on the sheet, a window offers to change it (for example, it becomes round for round labels). The text, illustration and colours stay the same.
- The whole sheet is filled by default. To print fewer, lower the number of copies.
- Sheet already partly used? Under “Starting label”, click the first free label: the ones already used are skipped.
- Once your label is finished, on a sheet, the “Print my label sheet” button downloads a PDF: open it and print it at “Actual size” or “100%”, never “Fit to page”. Otherwise the print will not line up with the stickers.
Try it first. Printers often shift the print a little. Click “Labels printing off the sheet? Adjust the printer”, then “Download the test page” and print it on plain paper at 100%. Lay it over your sheet and hold both up to a window: the outlines should sit on the stickers. If not, shift the print “To the right (mm)” or “Down (mm)” (from -5 to 5 mm, in steps of 0.5 mm) and test again. This setting is kept on your device. If the print still misses the stickers, click “Still off? Let us know” to write to me in one click.
White corners? If your label does not quite fill its sticker (an oval on a rectangular sheet, for example), a message warns you that the corners of each sticker will stay white. When the shape follows the stickers, your label runs 1 mm past the edge of each sticker, so no thin white line shows if the print moves slightly.
Sheets with no margin. On some sheets the labels run to the edge of the page. Most printers cannot print the last few millimetres, so the labels around the edge will be slightly trimmed. That is not a fault in your label.
Sheet not in the list? Write to me with the code from the box and I will see whether I can add it. Both A4 sheets (Avery L7160…) and US Letter sheets (Avery 5160, 5163, 22807…) are on the list. You can always choose “Plain sheet” and cut the labels out with scissors.
