Using a PDF template & Printing from Photoshop

We had this question today and felt it was something others might find useful:

If you are using the pdf template in Photoshop to set up your labels, import the pdf as MEDIA BOX (not bouding box). Design your labels within the template, when it's time to test print...make sure you leave CENTER IMAGE checked (it's an 8.5 x 11 image so centering it on 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper is ideal). Make sure you do not checkmark SCALE TO FIT...this tells your printer to take your 8.5x11 image and shrink it down to fit within the 8 1/2 x 11 page margins in the printer default. This will completely throw your label printing off.

You might get a message telling you that what you are printing is larger than the allowed printable area and that "clipping may occur"...go ahead and click PROCEED. This does not necessarily mean any part of your design will be clipped, just the area of the 8.5 x 11 image that interferes with the printer margins.

As always, print on white paper first and hold the test print up to your sheet of labels to see how you are lining up. Make necessary adjustments and print again until you are comfortable with your alignment.

A video has about 15-30 seconds to convince me that I should watch it in real time rather than reading something that tells me the same thing.

I caught the pilot of Drop Dead Diva Series without very high expectations, but it was in reality great and really amusing, with a fun soundtrack and interesting setting. Brooke Elliott is great as Deb in Jayne's body, the switch she portrayed between the characters was subtle but apparent, and she is very likable. The supporting cast are also all very strong. The writers do well in drawing the audience in, I already care about these characters after one 40 minute episode. Having told myself I am going to watch much less TV, and dropping about 50% of the shows I used to watch regularly, the fact that I plan to continue watching Drop Dead Diva Season 3 DVD how entertaining the pilot was. I'm looking forward to seeing more of what this show has to offer, and I hope it continues to deliver and develop into a great series.

I only use InDesign with realtively large amount of texts. So in this case, I would use Illustrator as well.
