beckytipton -> custom labels (4/10/2013 11:37:26 AM)

I'm trying to make a custom label....how do I set print area parameters or import a template for the label I'm using? The company (Planetlabel.com) has good templates but I can't figure out how to use them with Printmaster.

I also have an Avery compatible label that ISN'T listed in the Avery choices provided with Printmaster. How can I use this label with the Printmaster program?

Start a new project,

Project type: Labels
Sizes: Custom
Width: x.xxx Height: x.xxx
Hoiz. Gap: x.xxx Vert. Gap: x.xxx

As long as your measurements (x.xxx) are accurate, you can create a label template to match any label stock you buy.

This program does not import other label templates. Many Avery labels have the exact same layout even though the stock numbers are different, so it's possible that an existing template will work with the Avery stock you have.

Thanks for your reply....I have tried that with 2 problems.
First, one label has an offset--the bottom margin is much larger than the top. Printmaster just split the difference and printed this label as if centered. Can I adjust this somehow?

2nd--after entering the dimensions of my label, Print master decided the label was oriented horizontally instead of vertically....guess I'll try to switch the width and height and see if I can fix that. Thanks for the help. B

Hmm... that's a new one for me. I can't think of a mathematical solution. I guess I would tape the label stock onto a letter size sheet, slightly down from the top of the sheet, so that you simulate equal top and bottom margins.

Well, that's a possibility....I'm thinking of just changing label sizes to ALL Avery compatible/available labels. Do you happen to know if Printmaster is planning to add more Avery choices anytime in the near future? This is a very nice size label and I have used it for lots of products. Thanks for the suggestion. Becky
