Charlie,

Keep in mind that "printer creep" depends on the printer that you have and the printer driver.

Thanks for all the VERY DETAILED INFORMATION, Cesar!  That's VERY MUCH
APPRECIATED!! Yes, one other guy mentioned the "print creep" and said he had
to adjust his settings, but  you have gone so much further and you have
given very detailed information, that should be MOST HELPFUL!

Muchas gradias y pasa buen tardes, amigo! (Mi Español es muy poco and I

I did post the text below 2 years ago but this may new users that have faced
the "print creep" issue. There it goes again:

=======(snip)=========

The problem - When using label sheet with several labels, say, 10 rows and 3
columns, a bit of "print creep" from the first to the last label on a sheet
is noticed.

The cause - The label settings do attribute the same value to both label
height and vertical pitch; the latter is the vertical distance between two
labels. Looking careful to the label sheet a small difference, larger than
zero, between the rows. In a 10 rows sheet this small value is multiplied by
9 creeping the last row over 2 millimeters .

The solution - Just increase vertical pitch a bit, say, make it larger than
label height.
Below is my settings for 5160 label sheet:
Number across: 3;
Number down: 10;
Label width: 66,67mm (2,625");
Label height: 25,40mm (1,000");
Horizontal pitch: 69,85mm (2,750");
Vertical pitch: 25,64mm (1,009");
Spacing left: 4,78mm (0,188");
Spacing top: 12,70mm (0,500");
Horizontal Shift: 3,00mm (0,118");
Vertical Shift: 1,00mm (0,139");

Besides I use Consolas font 9 for callsign and 8 for the body. This font is
zero slashed and looks nice.
I hope it may help anyone.
