custom label printing - 11/5/2014 12:50:18 PM    Tica06   Posts: 5 Joined: 11/5/2014 Status: offline I have Print Shop 23.1. I used the custom label wizard to add a custom label stock. The label is oval 3.25 X 4.25 with 4 labels per page. I used all the size info provided by with label stock. When I select print preview only one image appears and if I print it prints only one image per page. Would appreciate some help as its my first project. Thanks Post #: 1

RE: custom label printing - 11/6/2014 9:59:07 AM    ellengard Posts: 3253 Joined: 10/2/2006 Status: offline Your numbers look fine, Did you get the four ovals on your Custom Paper Wizard preview, similar to the screen capture? --------------------- I put your numbers into the Custom Paper Wizard. I started a new project and selected the new label stock. This is how the project looks and how the print preview looks. The only other thing I can think of, assuming you got the four ovals to appear in the Wizard, is that you now have to start a new label project and choose your new stock from the label list.

RE: custom label printing - 11/6/2014 1:10:46 PM    Tica06   Posts: 5 Joined: 11/5/2014 Status: offline I did get 4 ovals in the wizard. However, my original project was not started with the 4 oval stock selection. I bet your right. I will start the project over. Thanks (in reply to Tica06) Post #: 8

Apparently in 23.1 you must start out with the label stock selection if you are going to use a custom label stock. Thanks Again (in reply to Tica06) Post #: 9

How do I correct _____________________________ rich wilson (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 11

RE: custom label printing - 11/11/2014 3:11:38 PM    ellengard Posts: 3253 Joined: 10/2/2006 Status: offline If your print preview looks correct, I would suggest checking your printer's feed mechanism. If the label stock is not getting pulled in correctly at the start, the stock is not far enough into the printer when the actual printing starts. Result: the print starts too far up the page. Make sure you have your printer is set for the heavy label stock and not just regular paper. (I have experienced your problem when using extra heavy card stock. I have to manually give the card stock a little push so the printer rollers catch the edge.) (in reply to rwilson3) Post #: 12
