Bleed

DiscLabel prints a 2mm bleed beyond the label perforation in all directions to cope with inconsistencies in setup accuracy and varying label types. You can change the bleed from DiscLabel's Preferences:

1. Choose DiscLabel > Preferences from the menu
2. Click the Paper tab.
3. Change the bleed to the desired value

Rasterize Printing

DiscLabel normally prints by sending high-level graphics commands to the printer driver, and the printer driver ultimately does the rendering required to print your label. Depending on the printer drive,r this can mean that gradients, shadows, and some transparency settings do not match what is shown on-screen.

DiscLabel can do all the image rendering. When you print, complete images, similar to printing photographs, are sent to the printer instead. The result will match the screen image very closely.

1. Choose DiscLabel > Preferences from the menu
2. Click the Paper tab.
3. Check the Rasterize Printing checkbox.

Printing

Once you have the media set up and the designs placed in the slots, click Print to open the print dialog box.
