4E. Creating a Full Bleed Print
1. To create a label that completely fills the space with no white margins, adjust these
settings in the status monitor and printing application (BarTender).
Page Size. Increase the page size width by .03 inches (1mm). Increase the height by
.03 inches (1mm). If you are using BarTender, simply change the size under the File
Menu - Page Setup. If you are using other graphics programs, you will need to
change the page size in the application and in the printer driver preferences.
Left Margin Offset. You must decrease the left margin offset to center the over
bleed on the label. If you over bleed by .03" you will need to decrease the Left
Margin Offset by 0.4mm. This will center the page size increase so there is a .03
inch over bleed on both left and right sides. Some additional adjustment may be
necessary if the label was not perfectly aligned to begin with. See Section 4E.
TOF. Increase the Top of form by 0.4mm. This will cause the printer to start printing
before the label and ensure a fully printed label. Some additional adjustment may
be necessary if the label was not perfectly aligned to begin with. See Section 4E.
Note: It is best to over bleed as little as possible to avoid excess ink on the label backing. Also,
over bleeding too much will cause the printer to skip labels. This is because the printer
stops printing too late to sense the next label.
