custom label problem - 9/7/2013 10:34:06 AM    geri   Posts: 2 Joined: 9/7/2013 Status: offline I purchased PrintMaster v6 Platinum to use when printing Avery Shipping label #8168 (#5168 Avery template). Neither label is listed on the drop down menu under labels in the program. I tried to use "custom", putting in the size 3.5 x 5 and it does not come out in the correct layout to print the labels. Can someone please help me? Thank you. < Message edited by lindarobin -- 8/12/2014 11:53:50 PM > Post #: 1

This is very important and must be accurate because the program will determine the position of the labels based on these measurements. (in reply to geri) Post #: 2

I just tried to make two different custom labels. One worked perfectly and the other did not. The inconsistency is odd. The one that didn't was 3.5x5. I tried different combinations and it wouldn't give me 4 labels/page even with zero gaps and no margins. It's definitely buggy. The only alternative that I can think of is to create your design on a blank 8.5x11 sign project. Make your design fit in a 3.5x5 rectangle. Group it and copy/paste it to get four labels, then position them within guide lines representing where the actual labels fit. I think that would be 0.5" from the top and bottom of the paper; 0.5" from the sides and 0.5" gap going down the middle. The Avery site has a free label printing program for all of their label stocks. You may find that is a workable solution. You can still create custom graphics with your PrintMaster program and export them as JPGs to be used in the Avery program. < Message edited by ellengard -- 9/7/2013 9:47:56 PM > (in reply to geri) Post #: 3
