I am having a similar issue to Tammy's below. I followed your instructions but don't have a 4 x 6 option on any of the printers in the building. I have gone through a bunch of my labels and haven't been able to use any of them. One of our secretaries was trying to figure it out as well. Because it's a PDF file, if we chose the type of label first, we weren't able to copy and paste the information. I LOVE this idea but I'm getting pretty frustrated with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey, Sevvys, here is what I wrote to Tammy:
I'm sorry for your troubles! It seems each type of printer with these size of Avery labels has a unique setup for getting the labels to work. In general, on any printer, the sizing/margin part should always be set to none. Then, depending on your printer, you will need to experiment with what paper dimension works best. On one printer I use 4 x 6, on another I have used index card 4 x 6 borderless, I think Avery says to use envelope, but I haven't seen that work. I would definitely try to use the same label over and over again when experimenting and change the ink to draft. I would hate for a recycling activity to be wasteful and expensive for you! :( Please let me know if I can help in any other way. Thanks!

I am having trouble printing these. I purchased the labels as you specified, but when I print they are just enough off that several (not all) on a sheet are misaligned and unable to be used. I do not know how to fix this and I am burning throug all of the labels. Suggestions please??

Hey, Mary! I just downloaded it without issue, so there may be a complication with your computer, but I really have no idea about those things. If you'd like, email me at tabitha@flapjacklapbooks.com, and I'll email it to you there. I apologize for the inconvenience!

Do you divide up any of the bottle caps since there are over 100 in each set and the pringle cans don't hold that many?
