Actually, the first digit in Avery labels is significant and tells you the type of printer the label is designed for. a leading digit "5" means it is designed for laser printing; a leading digit '8' means it is designed for inkjet and a 4 or 6 is a combo label.
There is a list on our website of common ones http://www.digit-eyes.com/cgi-bin/digiteyes.fcgi?action=labelInfo Rick, I looked at the labels you sent -- your printer is scaling them and printing the entire sheet smaller than it should. Eileen had the same problem and she found some settings that had to be changed -- they said 'fit to page' or 'fit to printable area' or something like that and she had to turn them off and (if I remember right) set "sizing" to "none" On Tuesday, May 1, 2012 1:31:52 PM UTC-5, ccwiner wrote: > > Yes, the label number refers to the size of labels and not if it's > designed for laser or inkjet.
