If the text and images on your labels appear either too big or too small for your label paper, most likely there is a mismatch between your settings and preferences.
Most alignment issues happen right in the browser’s print preview screen.
For Google Chrome & Microsoft Edge:
Tap Print to open the print dialog box.
Tap on More settings (or arrow drop-down) to expand the menu.
Check Paper size: Ensure it is set to Letter or 8.5″ x 11″ (Do not use A4).
Check Scale: Change this from “Fit to printable area” to Default or Custom: 100%.
Check Margins: Set this to Default or None.
Uncheck Headers and footers so website URLs and dates do not print on your label.
For Apple Safari:
Tap File > Print.
Tap Show Details at the bottom of the window if the menu is collapsed.
Ensure Paper Size is set to US Letter (8.5 x 11 in).
Set Scale to exactly 100%.
If you download your labels and open them on your computer, your system’s PDF viewer controls the alignment.
For Windows (using Adobe Acrobat / Reader):
Open the PDF and tap Print.
Under “Page Sizing & Handling,” select Actual Size or Custom Scale: 100%.
Warning: Do NOT select “Fit” or “Shrink oversized pages.”
Ensure the “Choose paper source by PDF page size” box is unchecked.
Tap Page Setup in the bottom left, and verify the Size is set to Letter.
For Mac (using Mac Preview):
Open the PDF and tap File > Print.
Tap Show Details to expand the menu.
Under the “Scale” section, select Scale: 100%.
Warning: Do NOT select “Scale to Fit.”
Ensure Paper Size is set to US Letter.
Pro-Tip: The “Light Test” Test and print your adjusted label on a standard, blank piece of 8.5″ x 11″ printer paper first before your more expensive label sheets. Place the printed paper directly behind your blank label sheet and hold them both up to a bright window or light.
