How to put a logo on a label
Adding a PNG or JPEG, what a thermal printer does to it, why you size down and never up, and the fact that the image travels inside the label file.
Steps
-
Add the image
Click Image and pick a PNG or a JPEG. It lands on the label; drag it where you want it and pull a corner to size it.
-
Prefer solid black shapes
On a thermal printer there is no colour and no grey. A clean silhouette prints beautifully; a photograph or a gradient comes out blotchy.
-
Convert it if you need to
The image properties include "Convert to pure black & white", and the Print window has the same setting for the whole label.
-
Size down, never up
A small image stretched big goes soft on screen and prints soft too. Start from the biggest copy of your logo you have.
-
Save and forget it
The image is stored inside the .lbv file. Copy that file to another PC and the logo goes with it.
