Section 3: Printing to Pre‐Die Cut Stock.
1. To open PTPrint go to Start ‐ All Programs ‐ PTPrint folder ‐ PTPrint or click the PTPrint icon on your
desktop.
2. The print layout wizard will appear. Click the Browse button to find the label you want to print. The
following formats are supported via the print layout wizard: BMP, EPS, JPG, GIF, PCX, PNG, TIFF.
3. Once the graphic has been selected the size
and dpi will automatically appear in the fields
below. The graphic should be 300 dpi or
greater to achieve the best quality. Resolutions
above 300 dpi are not necessary and only serve
to increase the file size. Adjust the label size as
necessary. By default, aspect ratio will be
maintained. The DPI will be increased if you
decrease the size of the label.
4. Make sure "Using Pre‐diecut stock" has been
checked.
Design Tip! Design your label with the .125" bleed included. This will increase the size of your graphic.
For example, if you want your final label to be 3" x 4", design your label to be 3.125" x 4.125". Adding a
bleed is NOT the same as increasing the size of your image. Typically you would add a bleed to an image
by doubling the size of the border around the image in your design program.
