Labels Formatting and Printing Tips

Avery Inkjet Labels

• Before you print onto a label sheet, first print onto a blank piece of paper. Place the printed sheet in front of a label sheet and then hold the sheets up to a light to make sure the positioning is correct.
• Refer to your printer manual for loading and feeding recommendations. Many printers have special instructions for loading labels.
• Fan the label sheets before loading them into the paper tray. Do not bend the corners.
• Adjust the paper width lever so that it barely touches the edge of the label stack and the labels don't buckle.
• For best results, let ink on the product dry completely before removing labels from the sheet.
• Store unused label sheets flat in the original box in a cool, dry place.
• Sheets of inkjet labels can be passed through an inkjet printer only once; the tight paper path of an inkjet printer can cause the label to curl on multiple passes through the printer. This could cause the label to jam or peel off inside the printer, resulting in an expensive repair bill. The Avery guarantee of jam-free performance extends only to sheets of labels that have been fed through an inkjet printer a single time.
• Only labels designed for an inkjet printer should be used with inkjet printers. Manual, copier and laser labels will not feed through consistently and may damage inkjet printers.
• Avery Fluorescent and Pastel Colour Laser Labels are not recommended for inkjet printers.
• For trouble-free label printing, have your printer thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
• Name Badge Labels are designed for most fabrics except leather, suede, silk, plastic, velvet, corduroy and vinyl.

Avery Laser Labels

• Before you print onto a label sheet, first print onto a blank piece of paper. Place the printed sheet in front of a label sheet, and then hold the sheets up to a light to make sure the positioning is correct.
• Fan the label sheets before loading them into the paper tray. Do not bend the corners.
• Only labels designed for a laser printer should be used with laser printers. Manual, copier, and inkjet labels will not feed through consistently and may damage laser printers.
• Most laser products are designed to work in laser printers when printed directly from the automatic-feed tray.
• Refer to your printer manual for loading and feeding recommendations. Many printers have special instructions regarding the direction in which you should load sheets.
• Sheets of laser labels can be passed through a laser printer only once because the heat of the printer causes the adhesive to soften. If a sheet of labels is passed through the printer a second time, the adhesive could ooze and adhere to the inner workings of the printer, causing the labels to jam or peel off. Avery's guarantee of jam-free performance extends only to sheets of labels that have been fed through a laser printer a single time.
• For trouble-free label printing, have your printer thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
• Name Badge Labels are designed for most fabrics except leather, suede, silk, plastic, velvet, corduroy, and vinyl
