G. Creating a full bleed print
In many programs such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop or Acrobat Reader you will need to choose your label/page size before
you print. If the label size, you need to use is not already on the list of available pages sizes you will need to create a new custom
size.
1. If you are having trouble making the image cover the entire label, first make sure the image is printing at least as big as the
label size you have selected. Increase the selected page size by .03 inches on the width and .03 inches on the height to
create an over bleed.
Note
Make sure under scaling options to select ‘Fit to Page’ in the print dialogue box if printing from Illustrator.
Left Margin Offset
You must decrease the Left Margin Offset to center the over bleed on the label. If you over bleed by .03 inches,
you will need to decrease the Left Margin Offset by 4. This will center the page size increase so there is an over bleed
on both the left and right sides.
Top Of Form (TOF)
Increase the Top Of Form by 4. This will cause the printer to start printing before the label and ensure a
fully printed label.
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.
