Printing from a Mac

You may have to make several adjustments to one or more of
these values. After each adjustment you can click the Test
Offsets button to print a small test pattern on the label. This
will help you find the proper alignment value.
G. CREATING A FULL BLEED PRINT
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. 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.
TOF.
Decrease the Top Of Form by 4. This is 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 sops printing too late to sense
the next label.
