Printing of labels
Permalink  

Be gentle on me.  I have a Xerox Phaser printer.  My computer is a compaq Presario CQ56.

Question:   I would like to print labels,  what sort of paper (with labels on) do I get, or type of stationery to achieve this.

My idea is to do my own labels :  On the label is would read something like:

Lynettes Dukkah

Contains:         ...............

Weight:

Price:           Use by date: 

Obviously the label would be small,  but one could read it well enough.

Thanking you all in anticipation.

Hi
I would buy a small label printer, be a lot cheaper in the long term than printing with your current printer
cheers

If you buy a well known/widely used brand of labels such as avery, I believe that you can download templates online to set up a Word page to print accurately on the labels which will then work with any printer that prints A4

LABELS.1.JPGLABELS.2.JPGLABELS.3.JPGLABELS.4.JPGMy wife used to print labels for a freind for her jams. She used Avery brand label sheets from the local news agent. The ones she used were 64X26.7mmX30, there are a variety of sizes of these stick on labels. The program she used was Publisher/ Labels.

If you contact Avery they will send you a free CD with the software, or you can download it.

Cheers,
Peter

I have Labelistix which come with an assortment of layouts : 38x34mm - 40 to a page, 63x38 - 21 per page, 99x57 - 10 per page, 145x18 - 15 bpp, & full A4 sheet. You then download free software to make your label print on any one of the labels left on a part used sheet. The box seems to last forever - 125 sheets!
