labels | Layout Problems for Business Cards

Post by buster »

Hi,

I'm trying to print business cards using an image I have. I can't seem to get it to appear in the exact place it should. I tried many templates only but can't get anything to work. I also don't really know what I'm doing to get it to work by just telling it exactly where to go.

Here's my best attempt using the labels package. It's almost in the right place, but is all a little bit out.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[newdimens]{labels}
\numberoflabels=8
\LabelCols=2% Number of columns of labels per page
\LabelRows=4% Number of rows of labels per page
\LeftPageMargin=17mm% These four parameters give the
\RightPageMargin=17mm% page gutter sizes. The outer edges of
\TopPageMargin=31.5mm% the outer labels are the specified
\BottomPageMargin=31.5mm% distances from the edge of the paper.
\InterLabelColumn=6mm% Gap between columns of labels
\InterLabelRow=6mm% Gap between rows of labels
\LeftLabelBorder=0mm% These four parameters give the extra
\RightLabelBorder=0mm% space used around the text on each
\TopLabelBorder=0mm% actual label.
\BottomLabelBorder=0mm%

\begin{document}% End of preamble

\begin{labels}
\genericlabel
\includegraphics{Back.png}
\end{labels}
\end{document}
The margins I define aren't those that come out the printer! (I don't know if it's an issue because of the conversion to PDF?)

Any help would be much appreciated!
