Hi Bernhard Thank you for the reply.
I will delete the template uploaded and wait until the trademark policy and "branding" is decided. Then I will prepare a collection of ready to print templates. Perhaps these templates should be hosted in both the Art project section and Template repository? The object is to have many types of ready to print templates so folks can conveniently download and use, not necessarily for Worldlabel products but all types of printable media. Each template would reference as many manufacturer/supplies as possible so it would be easy to find the correct supplies to print on.
