Once you are reasonable satisfied with your sheet layout take a test print. As you have previously activated the die-lines they will appear in your test print. You can now visualise any fine-tuning required for perfect print registration. The red die-lines should align perfectly with the label edges on your label sheet.

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. Add the graphics to your job as per the previous instructions. Advance the bleed thickness using the ‘bleed’ button. 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. A4 Label Templates Demonstration V1.0.1.0
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. A4 Label Templates Demonstration V1.0.1.0
