How do i get the printing to align properly on the page ?
- Be sure you are using a genuine Avery product – non-Avery products are not optimised for our templates, and are not manufactured to our specifications.
- Test print. Print first on a sheet of plain paper to determine which direction to feed in your printer and to check your design and alignment.
- Printer settings. When you click Print, look in the Properties options in the print dialog box. Ensure you are printing to A4 paper (non US Letter size).
Adjust Paper Type to Labels and Print Quality to Best. If your printer doesn't have a Labels setting, choose Heavyweight or Cardstock. - Feed once. Don't re-print on the same sheet of labels.
How do I set up my printer to print on labels or card sheets?
You may need to change your printer settings to accommodate your label or card sheets. For best results, we recommend adjusting your printer settings (or printer properties) for Paper Type or Media to Labels or Cards. To optimize print quality, you can also change it in your printer settings from Normal to Best.
Tip: Some printers perform better when you feed one sheet at a time through the manual feed tray.
