You may have to make several adjustments to one or more of these values. After each adjust- ment you can click the Test but- ton to print a small test pattern on the label. This will help you find the proper alignment value.
E. CREATING A FULL BLEED PRINT
1.If you are having trouble making the image cover the entire label, first make sure the image is printing at least as big as the label size you have selected. To accomplish this using Nice Label, make the image a few millimeters larger than the label by dragging the image over the edge of the label on all sides. The bounding box around the image will turn red when it is over the edge of the label. Try printing again to see if it covers the entire label. If not, move on to step two.
2.Adjust these settings in the printer driver preferences to create a .05" (1.2mm) overbleed.
Page Size. Increase the page size width in the driver preferences by .1 inches. Increase the height by .1 inches. If you are using Nice Label, simply change the size under the File Menu - Label Setup. Increase the size of the image to fit the new larger page size. If you are using other graphics programs you will need to change the page size in the application and in the printer driver preferences.
Left Margin Offset. You must decrease the left margin off- set to center the over bleed on the label. If you overbleed by .05" you will need to decrease the Left Margin Offset by 12. This will center the page size increase so there is a .05 inch over bleed on both left and right sides.
