Full-Bleed Label Media

Color Label Solutions (www.colorlabel.solutions) is pleased to announce the availability of full-bleed specific labels.  With these new labels, you don’t have to worry about overspraying ink onto the liner; then transferring the excess ink to the labels.  With these labels, the ink dries immediately on the liner.

Full-Bleed Circle Labels

Basically, we now offer inkjet coated liners for your labels.  Just like your labels, ink dries immediately on the liners; making it much easier to print full-bleed. If you have ever gotten ink on your fingers while applying labels, then you’ll understand the benefits of this new liner.  The full-bleed specific labels are just easier to use.

C7500G Full-Bleed Circle Labels

To print full-bleed labels, I recommend generally the C7500 series printers.  These printers offer something no other color label printers have: precise media handling.

C7500 Media Handling

Media in other print on-demand color label printers may move slightly horizontally while printing; making it more difficult to print full-bleed.  With the media handling design of the C7500, labels don’t move horizontally; enabling better full-bleed printing.

C7500G Full-Bleed Label

To print full-bleed labels, I recommend the following:

*   Design your labels slightly larger (1/16”) than the actual size of the label.  This step is critical to get full coverage.  Most people send me files different than the actual size of label I have.  This difference makes it virtually impossible to print the label correctly.

*   Set the label size in the driver .03” larger than actual.  This adaptation helps insure the label is more likely to be completely covered.  If the driver is much-more larger than the actual size, you get skips and “head maintenance” in the printer.

Too Large Label Format Error

*   Use the narrowest edge of the label possible in the driver settings (0.06”) as the default is 0.08”:

C7500 Default Label Boarder Setting

This setting helps center the image on the template; especially important for circle labels.

If you print full-bleed, contact us to order the new labels designed for your application.  You’ll save time, money and hassle by moving to the new, full-bleed labels.
