Designing your label Adding: Text
Adding: Images & logos
Adding: Borders
Once you’ve set your document to the size you want to print
your label, you can start placing whatever you want into the
label- text, images/logos, borders- and what you see on your
screen is what will print on your label.
The LabelTac 4 is a monochrome thermal transfer printer, so
when you print your label, the areas of your label that are black
(or dark) on-screen will print to the ribbon, while the areas that
are white (or light) will not print, allowing the color of the tape
you use to remain visible.
For example- if you have yellow vinyl material loaded, and a
blue print ribbon- the elements on screen that are black will
print to the blue ribbon, and the elements that are white will not
print- resulting in a blue on yellow final label.
You can add images and logos to your labels by “inserting”
them
(typically done through your program’s menu bar:
Insert > Image > From File) or by copying and pasting them in.
We find that using PNG images produces the highest quality
results, though most image file types are supported.
The ideal way to add text in labels designed in word process-
ing programs is through the use of “text boxes”. Text boxes
are easily resizable and are able to be moved independently of
other elements in your label.
Text boxes can also be used to create borders. In the text box
options you can usually add a “stroke” or border to the text box
and adjust the thickness, style, etc.
Designing your label in black and white or grayscale will produce the best results.
