How to Fix Misaligned Avery Label 8460 Templates in Google Docs

Are you tired of wasting your self-adhesive labels due to misalignment issues? To avoid this problem, it's essential to test print your label template onto paper before using your sheet labels. Repeat this process until the misalignment is no longer a concern.

The Problem: Without knowing your printer's starting print position, it can be difficult to determine if misalignment will occur without printing your template. If you're not sure how to change page margins, consult your supplier's website or forum for advice.

To fix misalignment issues, adjust the TOP and/or LEFT margins of your label template as follows:

* Decrease the left margin if your designs are printing too far right

* Increase the top margin if your designs are printing too high

If you're using a PDF template, the method may vary depending on the software you're using. In Google Docs, click on the 'Layout' tab at the top of the page and select 'Custom Margins.'

Common Causes of Misaligned Label Templates

There are five main causes of misaligned label templates that can lead to problem-free printing:

1. Printer's Starting Print Position: Without knowing your printer's starting print position, it can be difficult to determine if misalignment will occur without printing your template.

2. Incorrect Margins: Adjusting the page margins incorrectly can cause your designs to print out of alignment.

3. Incorrect Template Size: Using a label template that is not designed for your specific label size can lead to misalignment issues.

4. Paper Feed Issues: Problems with the paper feed, such as jammed or stuck labels, can cause misalignment.

5. Incompatible Software: Incompatibility between your software and printer settings can also contribute to misaligned label templates.
