Create label sheet as EPS

the longer the print run on labels is the more chance your cut will go off. What design software are you using? In Flexi i just set a page width to match the printer then step & repeat till i get the quantity i won’t. Then export as eps & open in Versaworks. File size for a load of labels can be large & versaworks can take a while to RIP it.

Kevin,

I mainly use illustrator. I will get a copy of flexi next week and give it a go.

These labels are very small 30mm by 15mm. I only really want to do 362 labels at a time. My roll is 130cm wide. Its only really 253mm long the print and cut I want to do.

If your rip can rip postscript and you have Corel Draw, use the imposition features in print preview and print to the ‘independent device postscript’ driver, if you have Acrobat or similar do same to create pdf file.

Cheers guys,

I eneded up creating a whole sheet in illustrator. Didn’t take me that long. Once I created one column I just duplicated it. Once I have two columns I duplicated those so I have four columns and so on.

These are for domed stickers so I doubt I’ll be doing it too often.

Ctrl+d = Redo in illustrator. Great for copying. If you select what you want to copy, then double click the selection tool it brings up a ‘Move’ box.
Put in the amount you want to move the item by (eg 0mm across and 20mm down) and click copy. Then you’ve got 2. Hit Ctrl D 8 times and you’ve got 10 evenly spaced in a column.
Select the column and copy with a horizontal movement. Ctrl D again and you copy the columns across.
Get an evenly spaced array of identical stickers easily.
