& saved elsewhere on your computer (eg, ‘My Pictures’).

as required. Once you are reasonable satisfied with your sheet layout take a test print.
4. As you have previously activated the die-lines they will appear in your test print. You can now visualise any finetuning required for perfect print registration. The red die-lines should align perfectly with the label edges on your
label sheet.
5. If adjustments are required click on ‘Sheet’ then ‘Edit Adjustments’. you can now change the left hand & top sheet
margins & individual horizontal & vertical gaps for perfect registration.
6. Once you have achieved perfect registration de-activate the ‘Die-Lines’ & ‘Edit Adjustments’ buttons.
7. You are now set up for perfect label production. Click on ‘File’ then on ‘Save Job As’. That job name will now appear
in the job list and to recall for future re-prints.

HOW TO . . . Print with Bleed
Some graphics require edge-to-edge printing.
But sometimes slight sheet movements during printing will leave white edges on your labels.
To avoid this you need to create label background “bleed” which is a small band of print outside the
die-cut or label edge.
In most instances this only needs to be 1mm to 2mm. Whilst leaving the label graphics to fit your
label size, the background must be increased by 2mm for every 1mm of ‘bleed’ required.
For example if you require 1mm of bleed on all sides of a 50mm x 50mm label, the label background
must be set to 52mm x 52mm.
1. Add the graphics to your job as per the previous instructions.
2. Advance the bleed thickness using the ‘bleed’ button.
3. Print a trial sheet. You will notice the ‘bleed’ has printed on
to the matrix or scrap outside the label edges. You should now
have perfect edge-to-edge printing.

Slide 10 of 12
If you need to ensure that your label
background colour or graphic design
prints to the very edge of your label,
create your graphic bigger than the label
size and let it ‘bleed’ beyond the die lies.
Step 15. Add your oversize
graphic to the job.
Eg. 54mmx54mm is 50mmx50mm + 2mm bleed
on all sides
Step 16. Enter the bleed
amount.
The bleed will now appear outside the die lines.
Step 17. Turn off die lines
and print.
NOTE: ‘Bleed’ can only work on label sheets that offer minimum
gaps of 1.5mm & sheet margins of 5mm or larger.
