5D Creating a Full Bleed Print
To create a label that completely fills the space with no white margins, adjust these settings in the
status monitor and printing application (BarTender). This is only necessary if you are printing to Pre-
Die Cut Label stock. If you are printing and cutting using die cutting media, you can adjust the
position of the cut line to accomplish this.
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.
