Designing and Printing Labels30 QL-800 User GuidePlanning Full-Bleed and Non-Bleed LabelsIn full-bleed labels, color prints up to the edge of the label. With non-bleed labels, colorstops at a margin before the edge of the label.Use the following guidelines when setting up a file for a full-bleed label.• If you are using media with the matrix removed, you can print all the way to theedge of die-cut labels, but doing so may cause a small amount of ink to depositonto the liner. In the event excess ink deposits on the liner, it will not dry and maysmear onto other surfaces, including hands and other printed labels.• The height and width of the label file “canvas” should be 0.04 to 0.08” (1-2 mm)larger than the height and width of the physical label.Excessive width and length will result in increased ink on the liner. You may needto experiment to determine the optimal balance of bleed quality while minimizingink deposited on the liner. As a guideline, no more than 0.02” (0.5 mm) of ink shouldbe printed onto the liner.• Design elements that will run to the edge of the label are the parts of the designthat will “bleed” across the edge. Your bleed will most commonly be a solid color,pattern, or gradient background running off the edge of the label.Use the following guidelines when setting up a file for a non-bleed label.• The height and width of the label file “canvas” should be the same as the heightand width of the physical label.• All design elements should be placed inside a 0.063” (1.5 mm) border of thecanvas. This will ensure such design elements never run to or over the edge of thelabel.Related Topics:- Setting up the Driver for Full-Bleed Printing on page 42Setting up the Label Design SoftwareThis section describes how to set up your label design software to print on the QL-800.Setting up Labels in Custom QuickLabel OmniCustom QuickLabel Omni is a software application developed by QuickLabel Systemsto access special features in our printers and allow customers to easily design and printlabels.For detailed label setup and printing instructions, please refer to the CustomQuickLabel Help. |
