Box labels
Were formatted for printing on A4 paper, but will
presumably print fine on USA sized paper too (as it's
designed to be cut manually by guillotine, exact paper
size doesn't matter).
-
Cdrom labels
-
Label manufacturers use a wild variety of non
standardised formats.
- A4 & USA Letter.
- Standard size circular label with large inner
radius, & newer labels with smaller inner
radius.
- Various centre to centre distances between the
2 centres of the circular labels.
- Offset to top of page & base varies.
- Marginally different offset between top of page
& top label, & bottom of pager & bottom
label.
- As these labels are pre cut, & print is
constrained within the oblique cut area, minor
vertical errors can become amplified, when at top
& bottom of cut label, the cut is well beyond
45 degrees, tending toward the horizontal.
- Some labels have an offset with top label to
left, & bottom to right.
-
Label images to print:
- Are currently only generated for printing on
MultiCom A4 PC Line Ref 442910. (No Web Ref Known,
I bought mine as end of line)
-
I have samples &/or or millimetre geometry
for these, which I'll generate for, when I find
time.
- If you want some other offset, I will need your
exact geometry, & preferably a physical sheet
in the post (marked top & bottom too, as EG
Multicom has a 1mm variance there).
