Ideas Genie Pro > The Labels program GA048

I am having problem with Label program

(1/3) > >>

diegartenfrau:
I don't really have any labels to print. But out of curiosity I started playing around with the label program, since I actually never opened it before and tried it out. Avery#5366.......

So I made a few label sheets in the program then wanted to print one out to see how it looks printed. The printer did it's work, but there was nothing on the paper aside the first line telling me which label it printed.
So I tried a another label I think it was the one with 16X2 same thing it only prints the top line and in preview It does not show the labels although I could see the filled in labels in the edit/fill program.

So I tried the next label Avery L7164 this time as I try to print it tells me 'unrecognized label' it won't print at all

next Avery 5523, it has a error message of 'no report for this option PrtLabels6 and won't print either.

I can make the labels in the program but I can't print any.

Am I missing something? My program version is 29 maybe something did not get updated properly and I need to re download?


On another note, which label of Avery is recommended. I saw some supposedly weather proof labels online which are supposed to be comparable in size to avery labels, printable by inkjet printer, others by laser printers at this site

I am wondering if anybody tried them. They are not the cheapest these kind of label sheets. So I really would like them to last.
Any comments on these?

I just tried another label to print.
Avery L7160 7x3. I filled the label in with the plant names, then edited. then went to print preview where the labels looked a bit different then from when I filled them.
Then I printed. This time it printed, it had the outlines of the labels and unfortunately only partly of the plant data it was supposed to have. It seemed to only print the first line of the plant name the rest of the label is blank. It did that with each single label.

So it prints, but does not print correctly
I must be missing some files

diegartenfrau:
I feel silly.
Just figured it out.

One needs to add data to the field below the smaller top field in the edit program. Then it seems to print it just fine.

I edited the name of the plant in the smaller field above and when I went back to the label it had changed to whatever I edited. So I thought that is all the edit and the box underneath is just to add more information if I want to.
Then when I printed it had a line of plant name on top but it did not look like the label  I was looking at.

Operator error>lol<

I still have one question the one label Avery L7160 which before had the name in bold on top. Now has the whole label  printed, but it still also has the plant name in bold on top. So my label says
Lettuce.......in bold on top
Lettuce.......in non bold letters on bottom. Why does it show both lines. the other label Avery 6577 does not do that?

Otherwise I think it is working just fine now. If I would have played with it just a bit longer before I posted.......

Isabell:

To quickly answer your question about the GA048 Label Program.  The Members of the Forum have been working with George testing various improvements to the Label Program, including RichText which is a special text program to be able to pick various things that we might want to use in making labels, such as text font, size, placement, etc.

I have been in contact with Ripped Sheets that was based here in Seattle, but has moved to a location east of the Cascades. I have and George has samples of their #10400, which we hope to test all together using the same photos, text, etc. to compare notes among the members as to how the label stock holds up to the various uses we might expose it to. This label stock is supposed to withstand extremes in moisture, light, etc. And, the plus is it can be used with regular Inkjet Inks. I?ll send you a sample sheet if you would like to have it. And yes, they are expensive, but George is considering perhaps buying stock in bulk and then selling it to software users.

There link is below:

I have some test labels out in the weather now, using that same #10400 stock along with Epson Durabrite ink. They are both color photo and text. They are still as bright as they were new, the adhesive is still adhering to the several different kinds of surfaces that I applied the labels to, and are lasting well into their second year now. I have been very pleased with the whole testing program for that stock.

I now George is trying very hard to take care of everybody?s requests for improvements to IG Pro 5 plus his work on BankGenie, and has expressed his eagerness to me that he wants to get back the label program and work with it. George, any comments . . .

First to answer Isabells question:

--- Quote ---Avery L7160 7x3
Lettuce.......in bold on top
Lettuce.......in non bold letters on bottom.
--- End quote ---

The template for Avery L7160 7x3 prints the plant name in bold and the text you enter about the plant in normal font.
That option does not have rich text, so you cant change the output.
The only thing I can think of here is that you are seeing the beginning of the next label.
Do a print preview and you will see the outline of the labels and where the font is printing.
Have you done a print using the L7160 label stock?
If you are not using 7x3 then that could also cause the problem you have described.

Toby:
I'm looking forward to resuming the labels project. As you can see its one of the Sessions on the Veg Project ;)
